[English]

I'm most afraid of how silence falls suddenly

I'm most afraid of friends' sudden concern

I'm most afraid of memories that suddenly churn and hurt, never easing

I'm most afraid of hearing news about you out of the blue

If missing someone could have a voice

I wouldn't want it to be sorrowful crying

Now that it’s come to this, I finally let myself belong to myself

All that's left are tears, and I can't deceive myself anymore

Suddenly missing you so much, where would you be?

Living happily or feeling wronged

Suddenly missing you so much, with sharp memories rushing back

Suddenly my eyes become blurry

We are like the most beautiful song

Become two sad movies

Why did you take me on the most unforgettable journey?

And leave behind the most painful keepsake

Suddenly I really want to tell you all, thank you

Suddenly I really want to tell you, thank you

Facing you now, I feel that I am not so small

We were so sweet, so beautiful, so trusting

So crazy, so passionate, those times before

Why do we still have to run toward our own happiness and grow old with regrets?

Suddenly missing you so much, where would you be?

Living happily or feeling wronged

Suddenly missing you so much, with sharp memories rushing back

Suddenly my eyes become blurry

I'm most afraid of how silence falls suddenly

I'm most afraid of friends' sudden concern

I'm most afraid of memories that suddenly churn and hurt, never easing

I'm most afraid that this life is already decided to be lived without you

Yet suddenly hearing news of you

[Chinese]

最怕空氣突然安靜

最怕 朋友突然的關心

最怕回憶 突然翻滾絞痛著不平息

最怕突然 聽到你的消息

想念如果會有聲音

不願那是悲傷的哭泣

事到如今 終於讓自己 屬於 我自己

只剩眼淚 還騙不過自己

突然好想你 你會在 哪裡

過得快樂 或委屈

突然好想你 突然鋒利的回憶

突然模糊的眼睛

我們像一首最美麗的歌曲

變成兩部悲傷的電影

為什麼你 帶我走過最難忘的旅行

然後留下最痛的紀念品

突然很想告訴你們 謝謝你們

突然很想告訴你 謝謝你們

此時面對著你們 我感受到我不是渺小的

我們 那麼甜 那麼美 那麼相信

那麼瘋 那麼熱烈的曾經

為何我們 還是要奔向各自的幸福和遺憾中老去

突然好想你 你會在哪裡

過得快樂或委屈

突然好想你 突然鋒利的回憶

突然模糊的眼睛

最怕空氣突然安靜

最怕朋友突然的關心

最怕回憶 突然翻滾絞痛著不平息

最怕 此生 已經決心自己過

沒有你 卻又突然 聽到你的消息
