[English]

I always felt that you were the only one who truly cared for me

I always felt that the past was the best, constantly looking back

Even in passionate times, there were storms, turbulent and much more romantic

Even though we're separated by a river, I believe we can return to the beginning

Why did you betray me again? Just as I was flying into space, you pushed me down

It turns out you betrayed me, even after the battle, the cracks are still clear

Who's wrong? Apologize, then repeat the mistake, there always seems to be an excuse to continue

Tears gather into a river, relit then blown out

...

This outcome, should I thank you for giving me another lesson?

This outcome, erases my self-confidence, leaving me helpless

Hurt and then don't play with fire again, constantly looking back is also a demon in my heart

Forgive me for being foolish, don't have illusions, we can't return to the beginning

Why did you betray me again? Just as I was flying into space, you pushed me down

It turns out you betrayed me, even after the battle, the cracks are still clear

Who's wrong? Apologize, then repeat the mistake, there always seems to be an excuse to continue

Tears gather into a river, how can I sit still?

Why did you betray me again? Even if it's just one torment, I will bear it for life

It turns out you betrayed me, even after the battle, the cracks are still clear

Who's wrong? Apologize, then repeat the mistake, how to find an excuse to work hard?

You hurt me repeatedly, and you say you like me

When dragging on and on, you insist on not being lonely and entangle me

If we go further and further away from each other, there will only be one result: getting hurt

Why did you betray me again? Just as I was flying into space, you pushed me down

It turns out you betrayed me, even after the battle, the cracks are still clear

Who's wrong? Apologize, then repeat the mistake, there always seems to be an excuse to continue

Tears gather into a river, how can I sit still?

Why did you betray me again? Even if it's just one torment, I will bear it for life

It turns out you betrayed me, even after the battle, the cracks are still clear

Who's wrong? Apologize, then repeat the mistake, how to find an excuse to work hard?

You hurt me repeatedly, and you say you like me

...

[Chinese]

总觉得 从来还是你 真的关心我

总觉得 从前是最好 一再回望

热烈时候有过风波 动荡回肠浪漫得多

明是隔着河 都相信定会 可重回最初

为何又背叛我 在我飞上宇宙 即推我向下堕

原来在背叛过 直到厮杀过后 但裂痕仍清楚

谁做错 再认错 再犯错 彷彿总有借口继续错

眼泪汇成河 重燃又吹熄火

这结果 难道鸣谢你 多供给一课

这结果 磨灭自信心 使我无助

被害然后别再玩火 密密回头亦是心魔

原谅我是傻 不必有幻觉 可重回最初

为何又背叛我 在我飞上宇宙 即推我向下堕

原来在背叛过 直到厮杀过后 但裂痕仍清楚

谁做错 再认错 再犯错 彷彿总有借口继续错

眼泪汇成河 如何让我安坐

为何又背叛我 就算一次折磨 终生也会负荷

原来在背叛过 直到厮杀过后 但裂痕仍清楚

谁做错 再认错 再犯错 怎么找个借口努力过

反覆伤了我 你说你喜欢我

当 一拖再拖偏要不甘寂寞 来缠我

如共你 越行越远 再下去只有受伤一种结果

为何又背叛我 在我飞上宇宙 即推我向下堕

原来在背叛过 直到厮杀过后 但裂痕仍清楚

谁做错 再认错 再犯错 彷彿总有借口继续错

眼泪汇成河 如何让我安坐

为何又背叛我 就算一次折磨 终生也会负荷

原来在背叛过 直到厮杀过后 但裂痕仍清楚

谁做错 再认错 再犯错 怎么找个借口努力过

反覆伤了我 你说你喜欢我
