[English]

I thought you understood me, but you never spoke of love.

Every time I talk, it's always me who ends up crying.

I wipe my tears and slowly get used to the silence.

When friends chat, I just talk about something else.

You always comfort me, saying we'll never part.

But I'm still not sure if you'll stay.

Finally, I see through it, in this corner with no way out.

I won't hide; you don't love me, so how could you understand me?

You never cared about my feelings at all.

You never fulfilled your promises; only a fool would be gentle.

When I'm sad, I still pretend to smile and nod.

You don't understand me, so how can you love me?

Once I thought having you was enough for me.

Until I realized I was just

a toy for you to show off.

I'm so sad.

You don't love me.

...

You always comfort me, saying we'll never part.

But I'm still not sure if you'll stay.

Finally, I see through it, in this corner with no way out.

I won't hide; you don't love me, so how could you understand me?

You never cared about my feelings at all.

Unfulfilled promises; only a fool would be gentle.

When I'm sad, I still pretend to smile and nod.

You don't understand me, so how can you love me?

Once I thought having you was enough for me.

Until I realized I was just

a toy for you to show off.

I'm so sad.

You don't love me.

...

[Chinese]

原來不愛說 以為你懂得

每次說著說著 都是我哭了

我擦乾眼淚 慢慢習慣沉默

朋友聊起 我就說一些別的

你總是哄我 說永遠不分手

可是我還不確定會停留

終於我看透 沒退路的角落

不閃躲 你並不愛我 怎麼會懂我

你從來就不曾 在乎我的感受

沒兌現過承諾 傻瓜才當溫柔

難過時候 還假裝笑著點頭

你並不懂我 怎麼能愛我

曾經我也以為 有你我就足夠

直到發現 原來我不過

是你用來炫耀的玩偶

我好難過

你並不愛我

你總是哄我 說永遠不分手

可是我還不確定會停留

終於我看透 沒退路的角落

不閃躲 你並不愛我 怎麼會懂我

你從來就不曾 在乎我的感受

沒兌現的承諾 傻瓜才當溫柔

難過時候 還假裝笑著點頭

你並不懂我 怎麼能愛我

曾經我也以為 有你我就足夠

直到發現原來我不過

是你用來炫耀的玩偶

我好難過

你並不愛我
