Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

是不是 還那麼愛遲到

Do you still love being late so much?

熬夜工作又睡不好

Staying up late for work and not sleeping well

等你 完成你的目標

Waiting for you to achieve your goals

要戒掉逞強的嗜好

You need to quit the habit of acting tough

都怪我 把自尊放太高

It's all my fault for having too much pride

沒有把你照顧好

I didn't take good care of you

驕傲 是脆弱的外表

Pride is just a fragile facade

最怕我的心你不要

I'm most afraid that you don't want my heart

能不能繼續 對我哭 對我笑 對我好

Can you keep crying, laughing, and being good to me?

繼續讓我 為你想 為你瘋 陪你老

Keep letting me think of you, be crazy for you, and grow old with you

你好不好 好想知道

How have you been? I really want to know

別急著把回憶都丟掉

Don't rush to throw away all the memories

我只需要你 在身邊 陪我吵 陪我鬧

I just need you by my side, arguing and playing around with me

用好的我 把過去 壞的我 都換掉

Let the better me replace all the bad things from the past

好想聽到 你堅決說愛我

I really want to hear you say you love me with conviction

可惜回不去那一秒

It's a pity we can't go back to that moment

你好不好

How have you been?

天知道 我快要受不了

God knows, I can't take it anymore

後悔鑽進心裡燒

Regret is burning in my heart

擁抱 再多一次就好

Just one more hug would be enough

你要的我都做得到

I can do everything you want

能不能繼續 對我哭 對我笑 對我好

Can you keep crying, laughing, and being good to me?

繼續讓我 為你想 為你瘋 陪你老

Keep letting me think of you, be crazy for you, and grow old with you

給你的好 還要不要

Do you still want the good things I gave you?

答案我卻不敢揭曉

But I don't dare to reveal the answer

我只需要你 在身邊 陪我吵 陪我鬧

I just need you by my side, arguing and playing around with me

別用離開教我 失去的人最重要

Don't use leaving to teach me that the person you lost is the most important

別說 你曾經愛過我

Don't say you once loved me

讓我們回到那一秒

Let's go back to that moment

你好不好

How have you been?

能不能繼續 對我哭 對我笑 對我好

Can you keep crying, laughing, and being good to me?

繼續讓我 為你想 為你瘋 陪你老

Keep letting me think of you, be crazy for you, and grow old with you

你好不好 我好想知道

How have you been? I really want to know

別急著把我的愛丟掉

Don't rush to throw away my love

我只需要你 在身邊 陪我吵 陪我鬧

I just need you by my side, arguing and playing around with me

別用離開教我 失去的人最重要

Don't use leaving to teach me that the person you lost is the most important

別說 你曾經愛過我

Don't say you once loved me

讓我們回到那一秒

Let's go back to that moment

你好不好

How have you been?
