[English]

Still honest even if I look ordinary

To her, I feel like dirt

Everyone in this disaster has died, yet they refuse to hug

I know unrequited love leads to a dead end

If love is self-controlled

Perhaps such tragedy can be avoided

Accustomed to being honest and straightforward

I don’t want to hide my feelings, I want to be open and sincere

But little did I know, being so carefree

Opening my heart would make me the accused

The most passionate person towards others

She actually calls me a demon

In her earnest eyes, she shows her love

Yet I’m called too lewd

Millions see me as a fine catch

Why do I smile bitterly, when she sees only the worst in me

God has really been good to me

I don’t want to bother, so I steal a glance

Why do I feel drawn to her gaze

Making her think I’m a pervert watching her

Changing my approach, with a sneaky smile, everything looks brighter

If I dared to cross the line, saying hello could mean instant death

The most passionate person towards others

She actually calls me a demon

In her earnest eyes, she shows her love

She calls me too lewd

Millions see me as a fine catch

Why do I smile bitterly, when she sees only the worst in me

God, you really make me angry

Even exchanging eyes on site is forbidden

What’s there to talk about anymore

There are others waiting for me in the world

Does she really despise me that much?

It’s true, a person can be unlikable

But I won’t let myself suffer

There are others fighting to be with me

Changing their eyes to like me instead of hate

Claiming it’s your fault I’m lewd

If I trust the future, there are others

Willing to accept the black swan

Hundreds and thousands turn away

Love me

[Chinese]

長得 再普通 仍厚道

於她 我怎麼 像糞土

個個 浩劫𥚃 都死了 也不肯抱抱

單戀 我知一條死路

如果愛 自制到

這種 慘案大概 可免遇到

習慣 忠直做人

不想遮蓋 坦蕩蕩情愫

又哪知 這樣豪放

敞開我心 就成為被告

對待人 最熱情 的我

她竟然 稱之為 惡魔

於眼神中懇切示愛

還要被說是太猥瑣

百萬人 鑑定為 好貨

苦笑為何 她 只見最差的我

老天真待我不錯

不想 去騷擾 才偷望

何解仰慕眼光

叫她感到像個 痴漢在看

換個 花樣藝人 陰險的笑 都特別晴朗

若我敢 僭越防綫 講聲你好 或隨時命喪

對待人 最熱情 的我

她竟然 稱之為 惡魔

於眼神中懇切示愛

還要被說是太猥瑣

百萬人 鑑定為 好貨

苦笑為何 她 只見最差的我

老天真是氣死我

連同場 或互望 也不能

還談什麼

世上還 有别人 等我

她竟然 這麽 嫌棄麼

一個人 不可愛沒錯

不會自愛至坎坷

世上還 有別人 爭我

歧視我的 換一雙眼 變喜歡我

說猥瑣是你的錯

信未來 有別人

肯收容 黑天鵝

千百人 都踢走

愛我
