[English]

If I truly mean nothing to you,

You wouldn't have cut your long hair,

Fluttering like butterflies on your cheeks.

Are those tears?

If I truly mean something to you,

You wouldn't be so quiet,

Quietly watching the world's vanity, my heart is numb.

If steel can be ground into a needle, as long as one is willing to wait,

If one is willing to love deeply, is there a chance,

To possibly move this cold-hearted person?

But even if dreams can come true,

Who can truly guess how much happiness they'll receive?

A straight flush in life, even if the hole cards don't have you, I'll accept it.

If gentleness is a lie,

You wouldn't challenge this idea.

You held your eyes open without blinking.

Are those tears?

If you truly could let go,

How could you not say a single word?

Wandering far and wide, struggling bitterly, my heart is numb.

If steel can be ground into a needle, as long as one is willing to wait,

If one is willing to love deeply, is there a chance,

To possibly move this cold-hearted person?

But even if dreams can come true,

Who can truly guess how much happiness they'll receive?

A straight flush in life, even if the hole cards don't have you, I'll accept it.

If steel can be ground into a needle, as long as one is willing to wait,

If one is willing to love deeply, is there a chance,

To possibly move this cold-hearted person?

Even if dreams can come true,

Who can truly guess how much happiness they'll receive?

A straight flush in life, even if the hole cards don't have you, I'll accept it.

[Chinese]

要是你心裡真沒我

你不會剪去了長髮

閃動如蝴蝶在雙頰

那是眼淚嗎

要是你心裡真有我

你不會嘴邊無火花

靜靜觀察人世浮華心已麻

假如說鋼鐵磨成針只要願意等

只要肯愛得深是不是就有這可能

有可能打動這鐵石心腸的人

可惜就算夢能成真

有誰猜得準能分到多少福份

生命的同花順底牌沒有你我也認

假如說溫柔是謊話

你不會顛覆這想法

你撐著眼兒都不眨

是眼淚嗎

假如你真的放得下

你怎會一言也不發

漂泊天涯苦苦掙扎心已麻

假如說鋼鐵磨成針只要願意等

只要肯愛得深是不是就有這可能

有可能打動這鐵石心腸的人

可惜就算夢能成真

有誰猜得準能分到多少福份

生命的同花順底牌沒有你我也認

假如說鋼鐵磨成針只要願意等

只要肯愛得深是不是就有這可能

有可能打動這鐵石心腸的人

就算夢能夠成真

有誰猜得準能分到多少福份

生命的同花順底牌沒有你我也認
