[English]

One minute after breaking up, I hear the regret

The person who hurts me the most is the one I love

I should be indifferent, yet I'm still concerned

When holding someone else, I think of kissing you hotly

Loved so deeply, I realize the body questions itself

Can no longer adapt to anyone else

Willing to get drunk, hoping you can show mercy

If I knew I shouldn’t try to love, I’d have let go and mourned

Lovers, day and night, share feelings of separation

Avoid it—hope you change, just a small accident

No regret that I didn’t know; no breaking up, no love lost

Heart, let go—yet it doesn’t, rain suddenly arrives

Only then can we realize true love really exists

Loving fully, only to end up in pain, completely

Can I make a mistake once more and keep loving you?

Every day after breakup, feels like the greatest sacrifice

Your fingerprints remain on my skin, etched so deep

I should be indifferent, yet I still care

Holding someone else makes me think of that passionate kiss with you

Loved so intensely, now the body questions itself

Unable to adapt to anyone else

Willing to get drunk, hoping you can show mercy

If I knew I shouldn’t try to love, I’d have let go and mourned

Lovers, day and night, share feelings of separation

Avoid it—hope you change, just a small accident

No regret that I didn’t know; no breaking up, no love lost

Heart, let go—yet it doesn’t, rain suddenly arrives

Only then can we realize true love really exists

Loving fully, only to end up in pain, completely

Can I make a mistake once more

If I knew I shouldn’t try to love, I’d have let go and mourned

Lovers, day and night, share feelings of separation

Avoid it—hope you change, just a small accident

No regret that I didn’t know; no breaking up, no love lost

Heart, let go—yet it doesn’t, rain suddenly arrives

Only then can we realize true love really exists

Loving fully, only to end up in pain, completely

Can I make a mistake once more and keep loving you?

[Chinese]

分手後一分鐘 便有後悔聲音

能傷我最深的人 偏得我心

應該漠不關心 然而還著緊

當攬緊他人 想起跟你熱吻

愛過太深 原來身體會疑問

再沒法可適應別人

願醉掉了 能容許你憐憫

早知不應試愛 未放開 便節哀

有情人 日日夜夜同分開感慨

避開 願你改 一個 小小意外

未悔恨我未會知 不散不愛

心 話放開 未放開 雨驟來

才能提示真愛是確實存在

愛滿分 竟是換來 痛亦滿分

可否錯一次以後 一直愛

分手後天天都是最重要犧牲

皮膚有你的指紋 刻得太深

應該漠不關心 然而還著緊

當攬緊他人 想起跟你熱吻

愛過太深 原來身體會疑問

再沒法可適應別人

願醉掉了 能容許你憐憫

早知不應試愛 未放開 便節哀

有情人 日日夜夜同分開感慨

避開 願你改 一個 小小意外

未悔恨我未會知 不散不愛

心 話放開 未放開 雨驟來

才能提示真愛是確實存在

愛滿分 竟是換來 痛亦滿分

可否錯一次以後

早知不應試愛 未放開 便節哀

有情人 日日夜夜同分開感慨

避開 願你改 一個 小小意外

未悔恨我未會知 不散不愛

心 話放開 未放開 雨驟來

才能提示真愛是確實存在

愛滿分 竟是換來 痛亦滿分

可否錯一次以後 一直愛
