[English]

I can't predict this ending

I'm so foolish to sacrifice everything just for you, it's abnormal

I sincerely offer fame and fortune, hoping you'll notice and appreciate—it's my delusion

I even, even don't dare to demand physical repayment from you

What’s terrifying is you, using your usual tricks to deceive

Causing me to drown in a sea of tenderness, confusing my thoughts

Craving a moment of warmth, nearly destroying my life

Seeking a fleeting happiness, receiving a kiss that makes me think I’ll die for it

Struck by the damn earthly temptation, I forcefully push away the pleasure with my ruthlessness

With you, no need to be happy; from now on, no need to get close

Cruelty only needs a single blow

Even if I sacrifice my freedom, it’s all for you, to play the role of a puppet for a few years

Stop my original rhythm, then you and whoever you’re with steal away

With lame excuses, hollow excuses

Craving a moment of warmth, nearly destroying my life

Seeking a fleeting happiness, receiving a kiss that makes me think I’ll die for it

Struck by the damn earthly temptation, I forcefully push away the pleasure with my ruthlessness

With you, no need to be happy—who resents deeply?

Why is it that loving without reason is me? Why do I suffer so much for love?

Knowing full well that red powder causes trouble, I’ve experienced it more or less

I owe you so much from my past life; today I want to clear it all up once and for all, no more dragging on

The result of indulgence, don’t hide away

Craving a moment of warmth, nearly destroying my life

Only to exchange for an even more absurd kiss

Bumping into the devil’s tattoo—I realize I can’t handle women anymore

Even if my heart is unwilling, it’s okay,

就算心中有不甘 不要緊

With you, it’s no longer happiness—cruelty only needs a single blow

I'm afraid—just pretend I’m afraid, I want to make myself happy, even if I have no right

I also, no way out—you're too perverted, I must tear down fiercely

I’m afraid—just pretend I’m afraid, I want to make myself happy, even if I have no right

I also, no way out—you're too perverted, I must tear down fiercely

[Chinese]

我沒法 沒法預計這一個下場

傻到為你 為你奉獻一切才異常

名利我虔誠送上 期望你留神欣賞 我妄想

我甚至 甚至沒有 希罕你肉償

可怕是你 用你用慣的騙人伎倆

害我葬身溫柔鄉 迷惑我思想

貪一刻溫暖 差點毀了我一生

貪一刻歡快 得到想我死的一吻

動了該死的凡心 我用無情力推開快感

和你不需要開心 從此不必走近

殘忍只需一棍

我就算 就算沒有犧牲我自由

都算為你 為你做過三兩年玩偶

停下我原來節奏 然後你和誰偷走

用藉口 爛藉口

貪一刻溫暖 差點毀了我一生

貪一刻歡快 得到想我死的一吻

動了該死的凡心 我用無情力推開快感

和你不需要開心 誰深深不忿

為何為情迷途是我 為何為情受罪太多

明知的 紅粉必惹禍 多多少少領略過

我上世欠你太多 今天一次過找清楚不必再拖

沉溺的結果 不要躲

貪一刻溫暖 差點毀了我一生

只會換來多可笑的一吻

撞向魔鬼的紋身 我原來承受不起女人

就算心中有不甘 不要緊

和你早不算開心 殘忍只需一棍

我怕 就當我怕 我要令我愉快 就算沒資格

我也 沒有辦法 是你太變態 我要猛烈清拆

我怕 就當我怕 我要令我愉快 就算沒資格

我也 沒有辦法 是你太變態 我要猛烈清拆
