[English]

The wind leaves only fallen leaves on an empty street.

You left, and only my red eyes remain.

I force myself to sleep early,

hoping to dream of you again.

I feel like a beam of polar light,

waiting alone at the edge of a distant world.

After seeing your eyes,

I learned how hard loneliness can be.

It’s ridiculous how nervous I get deleting my search history,

wondering if he can see what used to be only mine.

Sadness stretches from midnight till dawn,

You wouldn’t care that my heart still aches faintly.

Maybe meeting me made you long for freedom.

You’d give up everything for him without hesitation.

Maybe I’m just pathetic—

you don’t love me, yet I still push forward,

crashing into that hard southern wall.

Maybe deep down I wish the wounds would remind you

of the time when you loved me most.

Baby, our love feels like a drop tower ride—

lifting me to the sky, then crashing me down fast.

You gave me a rush so wild,

but it’s hard to breathe after surviving it.

That day’s sky was rarely clear,

but your words trapped me in endless rain.

Maybe it’s not that you stopped loving me,

just some friction left unresolved.

Why do you stay silent—

did my words hit what you truly felt inside?

Just admit that you still care,

even if it’s just a comforting lie.

It’s almost absurd, you became a wound I can’t avoid.

How can I accept something so absurd?

Maybe I’m just pathetic again—

you don’t love me, yet I still come close,

crashing again into that hard southern wall.

Maybe I hope the pain will bring back

the time when you loved me most.

Baby, our love feels like a drop tower ride—

lifting me high, then dropping me fast.

You gave me a madness I can’t escape.

[Chinese]

風走了只留下一條街的葉落

你走了只留下我雙眼的紅

逼著自己早點睡

能不能再做一個有你的美夢

我好像一束極光

守在遙遠的世界盡頭

看過了你的眼眸

才知道孤獨很難忍受

可笑嗎我刪訪問記錄的時候有多慌張

他會看見嗎曾經只有我能看的模樣

從夜深人靜一直難過到天亮

你反正不會再擔心我隱隱作疼的心臟

好像遇到我你才對自由嚮往

怎麼為他失去一切也無妨

可能是​​我賤吧

不愛我的非要上

那麼硬的南墻非要撞

是不是內心希望頭破血流就會讓你想起

最愛我的時光

Baby 我們的感情好像跳樓機

讓我突然地升空又急速落地

你帶給我一場瘋狂

劫後餘生好難呼吸

那天的天氣難得放晴

你說的話卻把我困在雨季

其實你不是不愛了吧

只是有些摩擦沒處理

怎麼你閉口不語

是不是我正好說中你的心

就承認還是在意吧

哪怕騙騙我也可以

可笑嗎你的出現是我不能規避的傷

怎麼能接受這荒唐

可能是我賤吧

不愛我的非要上

那麼硬的南墻非要撞

是不是內心希望頭破血流就會讓你想起

最愛我的時光

Baby 我們的感情好像跳樓機

讓我突然地升空又急速落地

你帶給我一場瘋狂
