[English]

Kissing your hand, resting your head on me

Letting you lie on my chest — that person is no longer me

These little things I used to do, now just feel like sadness

Oh, sadness

Days go by, I carry on without you

It doesn't hurt that much; I accept quietly

Anyway, when we were together, we both had happiness

That's enough

My warmth and your indifference, they cloud love

If love is painted on a foggy window, it's blurry

But it's still clearer

What kind of man are you? What kind of man?

Watch her leave with your own eyes, without asking or saying a word

How naive can you be? Don't keep forcing it

Waiting for you to try and fix things, but you just let her go

What kind of man are you? What kind of man?

Still loving her but afraid to ask her to wait anymore

It doesn't matter, you just go on pretending

She'll find someone better

...

Kissing your hand, resting your head on me

Letting you lie on my chest — that person is no longer me

These little acts I used to do now just feel like sadness

Oh, sadness

Days go by, I carry on without you

It doesn't hurt that much; I accept quietly

Anyway, when we were together, we both had happiness

That's enough

My warmth and your indifference, they cloud love

If love is painted on a foggy window, it's blurry

But it's still clearer

What kind of man are you? What kind of man?

Watch her leave with your own eyes, without asking or saying a word

How naive can you be? Don't keep forcing it

Expecting you to turn things around, but you just give her up

What kind of man are you? What kind of man?

Still loving her but afraid to ask her to wait any longer

It doesn't matter, you keep pretending to be committed

She'll meet someone better

What kind of man are you? What kind of man?

Watch her leave with your own eyes, without asking or saying a word

How naive can you be? Don't keep forcing it

Expecting you to try and fix things, but you just let her go

What kind of man are you? What kind of man?

Still loving her but afraid to ask her to wait any longer

It doesn't matter, you keep pretending to be committed

She'll meet someone better

[Chinese]

親吻你的手 還靠著你的頭

讓你躺胸口 那個人已不是我

這些平常的舉動 現在叫做難過

喔 難過

日子開始過 我沒你照樣過

不會很難受 我會默默的接受

反正在一起時 你我都有開心過

就足夠

我的溫暖 你的冷漠 讓愛起霧了

如果愛心 畫在起霧 的窗是模糊

還是更清楚

你算什麼男人 算什麼男人

眼睜睜看 她走卻不聞不問

是有多天真 就別再硬撐

期待你挽回 你卻拱手讓人

你算什麼男人 算什麼男人

還愛著她 卻不敢叫她再等

沒差 你再繼續認份

她會遇到更好的男人

親吻你的手 還靠著你的頭

讓你躺胸口 那個人已不是我

這些平常的舉動現在叫做難過

哦 難過

日子開始過 我沒你照樣過

不會很難受 我會默默的接受

反正在一起時你我都有開心過

就足夠

我的溫暖你的冷漠讓愛起霧了

如果愛心畫在起霧的窗是模糊

還是更清楚

你算什麼男人 算什麼男人

眼睜睜看 她走卻不聞不問

是有多天真 就別再硬撐

期待你挽回 卻拱手讓人

你算什麼男人 算什麼男人

還愛著她卻不敢叫她再等

沒差 你再繼續認份

她會遇到更好的男人

你算什麼男人 算什麼男人

眼睜睜看她走卻不聞不問

是有多天真 就別再硬撐

期待你挽回卻拱手讓人

你算什麼男人 算什麼男人

還愛著她 卻不敢叫她再等

沒差 你再繼續認份

她會遇到更好的男人
