[English]

The road has come to an end, and there is nothing left

Words that can't be expressed represent too much

My heart raced, but I hesitated and gave up, whose fault is it?

I fought against all opponents and got to the end

But I couldn't win a moment of true sincerity for me

Maybe because we are different, we can't piece together the result

What I want is not my own reliance

You said you love me, yet you let me go

Sweet excuses can't melt away a night's pain

You said you love me, only you understand me

Yesterday's mistakes turned into a lifetime of misfortune

Don't say I don't understand

Separation is a kind of eternity

I can't believe that was what you said

That was what you said

The road has come to an end, and there is nothing left

Words that can't be expressed represent something

There are too many good things, my heart raced

I hesitated and gave up, whose fault is it?

I fought against all opponents and got to the end

But I couldn't win a moment of true sincerity for me

Maybe because we are different, we can't piece together the result, what I want is not me

You said you love me, yet you let me go

Sweet excuses can't melt away a night's pain

You said you love me, only you understand me

Yesterday's mistakes turned into a lifetime of misfortune

You said you love me

You said you love me

Don't say I don't understand

Separation is a kind of eternity

I can't believe that was what you said

That was what you said

That was what you said

That was what you said

...

[Chinese]

路走到了盡頭 就沒有

說不出又代表了什麼最好的有太多

心動過 退縮了放棄了誰的錯

拼過全部對手 得到了最後

贏不得一刻真心為我

也許因為不同 拼貼不出結果

要的不是我的寄託

你說你愛我 卻又讓我走

甜蜜的藉口 融不掉一夜的痛

你說你愛我 只有你懂我

昨天犯的錯 變成一輩子的禍

你別說 我不懂

分開是 天長地久的一種

我不能相信 那是你說的

那是你說的

路走到了盡頭 就沒有

說不出又代表了什麼

最好的有太多 心動過

退縮了放棄了誰的錯

拼過全部對手 得到了最後

贏不得一刻真心為我

也許因為不同 拼貼不出結果 要的不是我

你說你愛我 卻又讓我走

甜蜜的藉口 融不掉一夜的痛

你說你愛我 只有你懂我

昨天犯的錯 變成一輩子的禍

你說你愛我

你說你愛我

你別說 我不懂

分開是 天長地久的一種

我不能相信 那是你說的

那是你說的

那是你說的

那是你說的
