[English]

This time I walk away, with nothing left to say

I no longer want to expect or see how much more exciting it can be

I don't understand how you can be so at peace

Nor hold onto your stubbornness

But I know you—why do you lie?

You say you're still here, not having left for even a second

I want to stay, but it's already too late

I can't be like I used to be anymore

Crazy for our tomorrow

You don't need to explain why you lied

You can't say I never loved

Say I never waited, never hurt—I'd also like to say

Maybe we could start over, but I remain silent

You've kept asking if my heart's really here

Asking how I can be without regrets, losing love

And how my tears simply started to fall

...

You say you're still here, not having left for even a second

I want to stay, but it's already too late

I can't be like I used to be anymore

Crazy for our tomorrow

You don't need to explain why you lied

You can't say I never loved

Say I never waited, never hurt—I'd also like to say

Maybe we could start over, but I remain silent

You've kept asking if my heart's really here

Asking how I can be without regrets, losing love

And how my tears simply started to fall

...

You can't say I never loved

Say I never waited, never hurt—I'd also like to say

Maybe we could start over, but I remain silent

You've kept asking if my heart's really here

Asking how I can be without regrets, losing love

And how my tears simply started to fall

You've kept asking if my heart's really here

Asking how I can be without regrets, losing love

And how my tears simply started to fall

...

[Chinese]

這次我走開 再沒有話要說出來

我不想再期待走下去 還能多精彩

我不瞭解你怎能心安

也捉不住你的倔強

可是我知道你 你為什麼說謊

你說你還在 一分一秒也沒走開

我想留在這裡 可是這一切已太晚

我不能再像從前一樣

為我們的明天瘋狂

你不必解釋 你為什麼說謊

你不能說我沒有愛過

說我沒等過難過 我也想說

也許能重來我卻還是沉默

你一直問我的心到底在不在

問我怎能不遺憾就丟失了愛

而我的淚 怎麼就流下來

你說你還在 一分一秒也沒走開

我想留在這裡 可是這一切已太晚

我不能再像從前一樣

為我們的明天瘋狂

你不必解釋 你為什麼說謊

你不能說我沒有愛過

說我沒等過難過 我也想說

也許能重來我卻還是沉默

你一直問我的心到底在不在

問我怎能不遺憾就丟失了愛

而我的淚 怎麼就流下來

你不能說我沒有愛過

說我沒等過難過 我也想說

也許能重來我卻還是沉默

你一直問我的心到底在不在

問我怎能不遺憾就丟失了愛

而我的淚 怎麼就流下來

你一直問我的心到底在不在

問我怎能不遺憾就丟失了愛

而我的淚 怎麼就流下來
