[English]

Can I speak up to refute? Speaking up is also wrong.

I've learned to endure and yield in everything.

He nitpicks your faults, cherishing you not too much.

Long-term suppression, are you really better off?

Why not falsely accuse me of a crime? - (Your strengths)

Just a word of concern, yet you resist it so much. (You haven't really lost.)

My confidence has been shattered.

Please don't ignore your dignity being stolen by love. (How can you dare to expect praise?)

It turns out love is also a sin. - (I can't bear it.)

Yielding to a lover, yet stepping on a landmine. (Every day targeted for him.)

Still blaming me as if I'm a sheep.

Being scolded a hundred times, fantasizing about getting it right half the time. (Don't let him occupy you, longing for praise.)

...

An excuse to separate, just saying it is enough for me.

But I'm afraid to admit my goodness, so I have no excuse.

He isn't even that great, why can't you let go?

Why not face him and say, actually, you've suffered enough?

Why not falsely accuse me of a crime? - (Your strengths)

Just a word of concern, yet you resist it so much. (You haven't really lost.)

My confidence has been shattered.

Please don't ignore your dignity being stolen by love. (How can you dare to expect praise?)

It turns out love is also a sin. - (I can't bear it.)

Yielding to a lover, yet stepping on a landmine. (Every day targeted for him.)

Still blaming me as if I'm a sheep.

Being scolded a hundred times, fantasizing about getting it right half the time. (Don't let him occupy you, longing for praise.)

Forcing me to retreat again.

Breaking free from a lover is actually more straightforward. (My self-esteem is also shattered.)

Why not falsely accuse me of a crime? - (Your strengths)

Even though I yield today, I'm feeling very discouraged. - (You haven't really lost.)

Not opposing the slander.

Please don't numb yourself to please someone who forces you to be silent. (Can criticism lead to praise?)

Blindly following has made me very tired. - (I can't bear it.)

Love has become a dead end, so don't argue. (Every day targeted for him.)

Only reason can remove love.

Don't go against yourself, be generous in breaking up, this time getting it right.

...

[Chinese]

可開聲反駁麼 怎開聲也是錯

已做到凡事也啞忍讓步最多

他挑剔數你的錯 珍惜你沒有太多

長期地要忍氣難道你真的好過

何妨誣告我犯罪- (你優點)

講一句說話關心都十分抗拒 (根本未失去)

自信心都給踩碎

請不要 無視自己尊嚴被愛竊取 (何來又敢奢求受到讚許)

原來愛也是罪- (我不忍)

對愛人容讓偏偏踩上地雷 (為了他每天慘被針對)

還責怪我仿似綿羊

被責備一百句 幻想爭取 半次做對 (別要被他佔據 望穿秋水 讚你做對)

想分開的借口 講一聲我便夠

卻害怕承認我的好便沒借口

他根本不算優秀 怎麼你沒法放手

何妨面對他說 其實你都辛苦夠

何妨誣告我犯罪- (你優點)

講一句說話關心都十分抗拒 (根本未失去)

自信心都給踩碎

請不要 無視自己尊嚴被愛竊取 (何來又敢奢求受到讚許)

原來愛也是罪- (我不忍)

對愛人容讓偏偏踩上地雷 (為了他每天慘被針對)

還責怪我仿似綿羊

被責備一百句 幻想爭取 半次做對 (別要被他佔據 望穿秋水 讚你做對)

迫我再後退

擺脫過愛侶 其實更乾脆 (自尊心 也粉碎)

何妨誣告我犯罪- (你優點)

雖則我退讓今天都十分氣餒- (根本未失去)

被中傷都不反對

請不要 麻木地討好誰被迫封嘴 (難道受得批評便會讚許)

盲從到我很累- (我不忍)

愛已成殘局所以別駁嘴 (為了他每天慘被針對)

唯有理性將愛移除

別與自己作對 大方分手 這次做對
