[English]

Why is it so hard to spend my vacation with you?

Used to be I had no time, but today I find it troublesome.

Don’t be afraid, look into my eyes.

Who was it that dated you that day? Can you tell me?

I don't really have the right to ask much.

Now it's so hard to even meet you.

And I lack the confidence to face your thoughts.

Things are so bad that I feel dull, but I understand.

Surrender. I can't do anything, I’d fill the sky with petals for you.

What can replace you? Yet love is even more frightening.

Staying with you feels like behind me there are a thousand others.

When will this cliff fall? Maybe only three can bear the weight.

Surrender. I can't do anything, powerless to make you happy.

If it's for you, I’ll step back. Please don’t delay anymore.

Tomorrow I'll face the wind and rain alone.

Even if I wither, I won't care.

...

It's just me facing sleepless nights.

Still reminiscing about when I and you were happy and simple.

What makes me afraid is your eyes.

Since when did they turn tired of me? Can you tell me?

I don't really have the right to ask much.

Now it's so hard even to meet you.

And I lack the confidence to face your thoughts.

Things are so bad that I feel dull, but I understand.

Surrender. I can't do anything, I’d fill the sky with petals for you.

What can replace you? Yet love is even more frightening.

Staying with you feels like behind me there are a thousand others.

When will this cliff fall? Maybe only three can bear the weight.

Surrender. I can't do anything, powerless to make you happy.

If it's for you, I’ll step back. Please don’t delay anymore.

Tomorrow I go alone to face the wind and rain.

No problem if he leaves with you.

Clearly I promised to love you, but then I didn't keep it.

Can I leave when the flowers are in full bloom and then go home?

Surrender. I can't do anything, I’d fill the sky with petals for you.

What can replace you? Yet love is even more frightening.

Actually, I already knew there was someone else around you.

When will this cliff collapse? Maybe only three can hold it.

Surrender. I can't do anything, powerless to make you happy.

If it's for you, let me go, okay?

Tomorrow I’ll face the wind and rain alone.

Even if I wither, I won’t care.

共我度假為何這樣難

從前是我沒有時間 但今天竟說麻煩

別要害怕望我的雙眼

誰人在那日約會你 能說嗎

並沒太多過問的資格

已沉淪到見面亦難

亦沒信心去面對你的想法

情形壞到遲鈍似我都明白

投降吧我沒有辦法 為你開滿天花瓣

有什麼可以替代你 然而愛更加可怕

陪著你彷似背後有一千個他

這懸崖何時會墮下 難盛載到三個吧

投降吧我沒有辦法 無能力讓你歡顏

如為你我就退下去 別再拖好嗎

明日我一個去面對風吹雨打

縱使枯萎也不牽掛

剩我面對無眠的夜闌

仍回味那時我和你 幸福都可以平凡

讓我害怕是你的雙眼

從何日變成厭倦我 能說嗎

並沒太多過問的資格

已沉淪到見面亦難

亦沒信心去面對你的想法

情形壞到遲鈍似我都明白

投降吧我沒有辦法 為你開滿天花瓣

有什麼可以替代你 然而愛更加可怕

陪著你彷似背後有一千個他

這懸崖何時會墮下 難盛載到三個吧

投降吧我沒有辦法 無能力讓你歡顏

如為你我就退下去 別再拖好嗎

明日我一個去面對風吹雨打

無礙他跟你出發

明明話過愛你不要還

無悔開過花再回家 可以嗎

投降吧我沒有辦法 為你開滿天花瓣

有什麼可以替代你 然而愛更加可怕

其實我早已發現你身邊有他

這懸崖何時會倒下 難盛載到三個吧

投降吧我沒有辦法 無能力讓你歡顏

如為你我就退下去 讓我走好嗎

明日我一個去面對風吹雨打

縱使枯萎也不牽掛
