[English]

Driving to the edge of the city

Rolling down the windows, trading speed for a bit of thrill

Loneliness is chased away by the bustling night

But I can't confess, it's the sorrow you left me

Oh love, it makes me unable to let go

Oh love, it leads me to self-inflicted pain

You got me drunk, you made me cry

Bearing all the sins, I desperately try to salvage

You got me drunk, you made my heart break

Love that can't be taken back

...

Guessing the best and the worst

Why did you leave? Unfortunately, there's never an answer

For me, you loved too late

And left too quickly, you don't understand my heart

Oh love, it makes me unable to let go

Oh love, it leads me to self-inflicted pain

You got me drunk, you made me cry

Bearing all the sins, I desperately try to salvage

You got me drunk, you made my heart break

Love that can't be taken back

...

I dream of you everywhere, how can I forget?

Your mysterious smile, does it mean

That it's my fault for not being able to let you go?

You got me drunk, you made me cry

Bearing all the sins, I desperately try to salvage

You got me drunk, you made my heart break

Love that can't be taken back

...

[Chinese]

開 往城市邊緣開

把車窗都搖下來 用速度換一點痛快

孤單 被熱鬧的夜趕出來

卻無從告白 是你留給我的悲哀

喔愛 讓我變得看不開

喔愛 讓我自找傷害

你把我灌醉 你讓我流淚

扛下了所有罪 我拼命挽回

你把我灌醉 你讓我心碎

愛得收不回

猜 最好最壞都猜

你為何離開 可惜永遠沒有答案

對我 你愛得太晚

又走得太快 我的心你不明白

喔愛 讓我變得看不開

喔愛 讓我自找傷害

你把我灌醉 你讓我流淚

扛下了所有罪 我拼命挽回

你把我灌醉 你讓我心碎

愛得收不回

我夢到哪裡你都在 怎麼能忘懷

你那神秘的笑臉 是不是說

放不下你是我活該

你把我灌醉 你讓我流淚

扛下了所有罪 我拼命挽回

你把我灌醉 你讓我心碎

愛得收不回
