[English]

She quietly came by

...

She slowly takes away the silence

Just the final promise

...

Still, it didn't take away the loneliness

Our love wasn't wrong

It's just that the beautiful solitude is too tormenting

She said it doesn't matter

As long as there’s something to hold onto during the restless nights

Can't wait for the night to fall

The fireworks won't be too perfect

Memories turn to ash

Still can't wait for the ending

What she once said doesn't matter

I'm afraid of being destroyed day by day

Can't wait for the night to fall

The bud that dares not wither

The green leaves follow

Let go of the stinging sensation

From now on, I won't fear the dawn

I think I'm just afraid of waking up

...

She quietly came by

She slowly takes away the silence

Just the final promise

Still, it didn't take away the loneliness

Our love wasn't wrong

It's just that the beautiful solitude is too tormenting

She said it doesn't matter

As long as there’s something to hold onto during the restless nights

Can't wait for the night to fall

The fireworks won't be too perfect

Memories turn to ash

Still can't wait for the ending

What she once said doesn't matter

I'm afraid of being destroyed day by day

Can't wait for the night to fall

The bud that dares not wither

The green leaves follow

Let go of the stinging sensation

From now on, I won't fear the dawn

I think I'm just afraid of waking up

Can't wait for the night to fall

The fireworks won't be too perfect

Memories turn to ash

Still can't wait for the ending

What she once said doesn't matter

I'm afraid of being destroyed day by day

...

Can't wait for the night to fall

The bud that dares not wither

The green leaves follow

Let go of the stinging sensation

From now on, I won't fear the dawn

I think I'm just afraid of waking up

Not afraid of the dawn

I think I'm just afraid of waking up

...

[Chinese]

她靜悄悄地來過

她慢慢帶走沉默

只是最後的承諾

還是沒有帶走了寂寞

我們愛的沒有錯

只是美麗的獨守太折磨

她說無所謂

只要能在夜裡翻來覆去的時候有寄託

等不到天黑

煙火不會太完美

回憶燒成灰

還是等不到結尾

她曾說的無所謂

我怕一天一天被摧毀

等不到天黑

不敢凋謝的花蕾

綠葉在跟隨

放開刺痛的滋味

今後不再怕天明

我想只是害怕清醒

她靜悄悄地來過

她慢慢帶走沉默

只是最後的承諾

還是沒有帶走了寂寞

我們愛的沒有錯

只是美麗的獨守太折磨

她說無所謂

只要能在夜裡翻來覆去的時候有寄託

等不到天黑

煙火不會太完美

回憶燒成灰

還是等不到結尾

她曾說的無所謂

我怕一天一天被摧毀

等不到天黑

不敢凋謝的花蕾

綠葉在跟隨

放開刺痛的滋味

今後不再怕天明

我想只是害怕清醒

等不到天黑

煙火不會太完美

回憶燒成灰

還是等不到結尾

她曾說的無所謂

我怕一天一天被摧毀

等不到天黑

不敢凋謝的花蕾

綠葉在跟隨

放開刺痛的滋味

今後不再怕天明

我想只是害怕清醒

不怕天明

我想只是害怕清醒
