[English]

Dismissing yesterday, now you're right in front of me

I want to love, please give me a chance

Even if I'm wrong, I'll take responsibility, believing you're the answer

I'm not afraid of anyone laughing at my extremes

Trust your instincts

Stubborn people don’t get tired

Falling in love with you, I won't retreat (hey)

I said I wouldn't hide, I must do this

Even if it’s against what they say, I love harder, love more, to make you understand

There’s no other way but this. You decide—will you stay with me or not?

Even if they ignore it, my love is biased, relying on my feelings, waiting for your dependence

Favoring you, love

Even pain feels joyful (ha-hi hi-yay)

Dismissing yesterday, now you're in front of me

Even if I’m wrong, I’ll take responsibility, believing you're the answer

I'm not afraid of anyone laughing at my extremes

Trust your instincts

Stubborn people don’t get tired

Falling in love with you, I won't retreat (hey yeah)

I said I wouldn't hide, I must do this

Even if they ignore it, my love is biased, loving more, loving harder to make you understand

There’s no other way but this. You decide—will you stay with me or not?

Even if they ignore it, my love depends on what I feel, waiting for your reliance

No regrets, confident, I won’t back down, I have to do this

Even if they ignore it, I love more, love harder, to make you understand

There’s no other way but this. You decide—will you stay with me or not?

Even if they ignore it, my love depends on what I feel, waiting for your reliance

Favoring you, love

Even pain feels joyful (ha-hi hi-yay)

[Chinese]

把昨天都作廢 現在你在我眼前

我想愛 請給我機會

如果我錯了也承擔 認定你就是答案

我不怕誰嘲笑我極端

相信自己的直覺

頑固的人不喊累

愛上你 我不撤退 （hey）

我說過 我不閃躲 我非要這麼做

講不聽也偏要愛 更努力愛 讓你明白

沒有別條路能走 你決定 要不要陪我

講不聽偏愛 靠我感覺愛 等你的依賴

對你偏愛 愛

痛也很愉快 （ha-hi hi-yay）
