[English]

Everyone says, just love openly, as long as love, never fears challenges

Why today, finally, I’m doing everything to hold on to you

I haven't changed my heart, nor crossed the line, we should guard this love for a lifetime

Why do things change, not respecting the original plans

What you believe in lying together is not like you, more like two opposing winds

Can emotions truly merge faith into one

As long as we admit mistakes, making errors isn't a problem

Who said that? Not understanding the truth

I will love you forever, but I can't give in, make concessions, or promise

I will love you forever, but I can't abandon my thoughts to agree with your views

My heart has endured countless sacrifices

Rare to have conflicts, being open-minded enough for two to share a true love

News arrived, soldiers set out to fight, you said you would help and support in difficult times

...

Global warming, won't hurt you, talking about it is pointless

Listening to these words, how can I pretend to agree

Even if I love deeply, I can't hold it in, after all

Clearly aware, daring to speak out, contradicting you, every sentence carefully considered

Like planting bitter feelings deep in my heart

This time, how many lingering effects will there be

Tried to understand, ten years all wasted

I will love you forever, but I can't give in, make concessions, or promise

I will love you forever, but this competitive heart can never be stopped

Fighting too hurt love

Many things, their value, cannot be fully controlled by the one I love

I will love you forever, but I can't give in, make concessions, or promise

I will love you forever, but I can't abandon my thoughts to agree with your views

My heart has endured countless sacrifices

Many conflicts, victory and defeat, make it hard for us to be real champions

...

[Chinese]

人人都講 即管相愛 只要愛 永不怕難題

為何今天 終於跟你 全力在維繫

既未變心 亦無越軌 應廝守半世

何以事變 不依最初 設計

同床的 所相信的 不似你 像兩股風勢

憑情感 可不可以 將信仰 融合於一體

只要認錯 犯錯不是問題

誰這樣說的 未明瞭實際

我永遠愛你 但我未能 投降 讓步 答允

我永遠愛你 亦不可以 放棄思想 去贊同你見解

胸襟 試過無數犧牲

很少糾紛 夠豁達 容納兩人 有雙冠軍

傳來新聞 出兵開戰 得你說 會解困扶危

全球升溫 傷不到你 談論亦無謂

聽着這種口脗 如何扮附和同意

就算極愛 不可強忍 到底

明明知 斗膽脫口 反駁你 逐句都統計

猶如將 夭心夭肺 的芥蒂 培植於心底

今次讓你 又有幾樣後遺

曾試着了解 十年全白費

我永遠愛你 但我未能 投降 讓步 答允

我永遠愛你 但這一對 好勝的心 永遠無法制止

相爭 叫愛情太傷感

很多東西 那價值 難被愛人 徹底軟禁

我永遠愛你 但我未能 投降 讓步 答允

我永遠愛你 亦不可以 放棄思想 去贊同你見解

胸襟 試過無數犧牲

很多糾紛 有勝負 難讓我們 有雙冠軍
