[English]

A hug, let's pretend we were never together

Alright? It's too late for explanations now

Forget it, what I gave doesn't matter anyway

I lost myself ever since meeting you

Helpless, terrifying

That version of me was absurd

Always charging in recklessly - I was so foolish

If it's not love, don't lie

Just casual fondness

If it's not hate, don't cling

Stop faking sentiment

Treat me as troublesome

Constantly wounding myself

I keep telling myself

This is how love works

How did I get so reckless?

One last hug before accepting this can't last

Okay? Let's not dwell on what we owe each other

Enough - my efforts were never sufficient

I'm finally saved, no more humiliating myself

Can't help it - isn't this better?

No one stays anyway

Forcing it endlessly

Will only exhaust us

If it's not love, don't lie

Just casual fondness

If it's not hate, don't cling

Stop faking sentiment

Treat me as troublesome

Constantly wounding myself

I keep telling myself

This is how love works

How did I get so reckless?

No regrets even if we missed our chance

In the future, you'll occasionally remember

It wasn't all bad

Will you ache when I'm gone?

Could you ever be as detached as me?

If it's not love, don't lie

Just casual fondness

If it's not hate, don't cling

Stop faking sentiment

Understand everything, forgive everything

I sought answers that were painfully plain

Simple yet regrettable

Growing up forces us to accept

Growing up makes us

Suddenly walk away without warning...

Walk away

[Chinese]

抱一抱 就當作從沒有在一起

好不好 要解釋都已經來不及

算了吧 我付出過什麼沒關係

我忽略自己 就因為遇見你

沒辦法 好可怕

那個我不像話

一直奮不顧身 是我太傻

說不上愛別說謊

就一點喜歡

說不上恨別糾纏

別裝作感嘆

就當作我太麻煩

不停讓自己受傷

我告訴我自己

感情就是這樣

怎麼一不小心太瘋狂

抱一抱 再好好覺悟不能長久

好不好 有虧欠我們都別追究

算了吧 我付出再多都不足夠

我終於得救 我不想再獻醜

沒辦法 不好嗎

大家都不留下

一直勉強相處

總會累垮

說不上愛別說謊

就一點喜歡

說不上恨別糾纏

別裝作感嘆

就當作我太麻煩

不停讓自己受傷

我告訴我自己

感情就是這樣

怎麼一不小心太瘋狂

別後悔 就算錯過

在以後 你少不免想起我

還算不錯

當我不在你會不會難過

你夠不夠我這樣灑脫

說不上愛別說謊

就一點喜歡

說不上恨別糾纏

別裝作感嘆

將一切都體諒 將一切都原諒

我嘗試找答案 而答案很簡單

簡單得很遺憾

因為成長 我們逼不得已要習慣

因為成長

我們忽爾間說散就散...

就散
