[English]

I try to get through the day in a rush

But at night I hear my heart breaking apart

Walking home alone, hugging my shoulders

How do I find a way to bear life's changes

Today I should be at peace

Why do I suddenly think of how I used to run away

Can't tell how many years since we parted

It's clear that when someone becomes vulnerable, they fall apart and forget

It turns out I tried to love, even if we were apart

It turns out I can't forget, no matter how much effort and mind I spend

But memories are so detailed

They disappear but still make me nostalgic, right? I replay

It turns out I loved with sincerity, but I can't just wish to give up

It turns out that even if I endure moments of courage and humility

I'm still sad, still thinking of you, still crying because of you

...

Only after life passes do we realize

Only after saying goodbye do we understand what loved ones mean

In chaos, afraid I might go crazy

In this vast world, who is my story

Today I should be at peace

Why do I suddenly think of how I used to run away

Can't tell how many years since we parted

It's clear that when someone is fragile, they regret and feel sorry

I tried to love, even if we were separated

I can't forget, no matter how much effort and mind I spend

But memories are so detailed

They disappear but still make me nostalgic, right? I replay

It turns out I loved with sincerity, but I can't just wish to give up

It turns out that even if I endure moments of courage and humility

I'm still sad

Still thinking of you, secretly loving you

It's wrong that happiness is always remembered

The further the past is, the more beautiful the story

If love only makes me joyfully empty in front of life

Could it also be eternal until death?

I tried to love, even if we were apart

I can't forget, no matter how much effort and mind I spend

But memories are so detailed

They disappear but still make me nostalgic. I should hate myself

I loved sincerely, but I can't give up

It turns out I can't understand, even if I endure moments of bravery and humility

I'm still sad

Still thinking of you, still longing and unwilling, I don't want to forget you

...

[Chinese]

盡量匆匆過了一天

然而入夜會聽到心的碎裂

獨自歸家抱抱雙肩

如何用辦法承受生的變遷

今天應該很安然

怎麼竟偏偏忽然會想起 我原來逃避

分不清分開幾年

很清楚一脆弱了人就亂了 就會想起

原來曾嘗試愛的即使分不可離

原來難忘掉就算消耗幾多氣力和心機

但回憶細膩

消失的竟會這樣懷念對不對 卻回味

原來曾誠意愛的縱願拋不想棄

原來難明白就算撐過幾多壯烈和謙卑

仍然哀傷 仍然記掛 仍然在哭都因為你

命運統統過了方知

和誰道別了方知親的意義

動盪之間怕會瘋癲

茫茫大地裡誰是我的故事

今天應該很安然

怎麼竟偏偏忽然會想起 我原來逃避

分不清分開幾年

很清楚一脆弱了人就後悔 就對不起

原來曾嘗試愛的即使分不可離

原來難忘掉就算消耗幾多氣力和心機

但回憶細膩

消失的竟會這樣懷念對不對 卻回味

原來曾誠意愛的縱願拋不想棄

原來難明白就算撐過幾多壯烈和謙卑

仍然哀傷

仍然記掛 仍然偷偷愛著你

錯在快樂的總會被記起

往事越遠的情節越美

若愛令我在生命面前空歡喜

難道亦會永恆到至死

原來曾嘗試愛的即使分不可離

原來難忘掉就算消耗幾多氣力和心機

但回憶細膩

消失的竟會這樣懷念 我應該 恨自己

原來曾誠意愛的縱願拋不想棄

原來難明白就算撐過幾多壯烈和謙卑

仍然哀傷

仍然記掛 仍然不甘 不想你
