[English]

Look at everyone taking a group photo

But you're the only one not smiling

Are we pretending to be stupid, or do you really

Have worries that most people don't have

I’m too lazy to give you the cure

Anyway, you love to play this game

Bending over in love—aren't you the one

Who can't shake a habit you’ve had all along

Who are you thinking about, to the point of insomnia

You should feel proud

Many want to get over a breakup but have no goal

They just want to sleep well—no need to show off

Don’t say you’re fine, nothing’s wrong

You just complain that life is dull

No worries, yet you keep thinking about

The meaning of life—endless thoughts

Listen carefully, if you want to cry, you should smile

Actually, you know that worries can resolve worries

When something new arrives, forget what’s old

Small complaints are just the mood of living

...

Are there still people who keep you awake at night

Who can still burn for someone

My dear, this kind of romantic torment

Is not something you get just because you want—don’t show off

Don’t say you’re fine, nothing’s wrong

You just complain that life is dull

No worries, yet you keep thinking about

The meaning of life—endless thoughts

Listen carefully, if you want to cry, you should smile

Actually, you know that worries can resolve worries

When something new arrives, forget what’s old

Small complaints only prove that life isn’t boring

...

Don’t say you’re fine, nothing’s wrong

You just complain that life is dull

No worries, yet you keep thinking about

The meaning of life—endless thoughts

Listen carefully, if you want to cry, you should smile

Actually, you know that worries can resolve worries

When something new arrives, forget what’s old

Small complaints are just a sign that life isn’t boring

Don’t let me find out you’re secretly chuckling behind our backs

...

[Chinese]

你看看大伙兒合照

就你一個人沒有笑

是我們裝傻 還是你真的

有很多普通人沒有的困擾

我才懶得給你解藥

反正你愛來這一套

為愛情折腰 難道不是你

一直以來戒不掉的癖好

你在想誰 想到睡不著

你應該覺得驕傲

很多人想失戀也沒有目標

只是想睡個好覺 別炫耀

別說你還好 沒什麼不好

你就怨日子枯燥

沒什麼煩惱 恐怕就想到

什麼生存意義 想到沒完沒了

你給我聽好 想哭就要笑

其實你知道 煩惱會解決煩惱

新的剛來到 舊的就忘掉

渺小的控訴就是你想要的生活情調

還會有人讓你睡不著

還能為某人燃燒

我親愛的 這樣浪漫的煎熬

不是想要就能要 別炫耀

別說你還好 沒什麼不好

你就怨日子枯燥

沒什麼煩惱 恐怕就想到

什麼生存意義 想到沒完沒了

你給我聽好 想哭就要笑

其實你知道 煩惱會解決煩惱

新的剛來到 那舊的就忘掉

渺小的控訴只是證明生活並不無聊

別說你還好 沒什麼不好

你就怨日子枯燥

沒什麼煩惱 恐怕就想到

什麼生存意義 想到沒完沒了

你給我聽好 想哭就要笑

其實你知道 煩惱會解決煩惱

新的剛來到 舊的就忘掉

渺小的控訴只是證明生活並不無聊

別讓我知道其實你在背著我們偷笑
