Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

我一直都覺得時間還很多

I always felt there was still plenty of time

今天沒有為妳做的 等明天再說

Today I didn't do anything for you, let's talk about it tomorrow

忘了抓緊妳的手 當我回頭

I forgot to hold your hand when I turned back

幸福就像我指尖 不知不覺放飛的氣球

Happiness is like a balloon that I unknowingly let go of

這算什麼

What does this count for?

不能保護妳的我 有什麼用

What use am I if I can't protect you?

妳害不害怕 妳寂寞不寂寞

Are you scared? Are you lonely?

我的胸口很痛 我怎麼會把妳搞丟

My chest hurts so much, how could I have lost you?

妳微笑的對我的信任的表情 還在我心中

The expression of trust in your smile still lingers in my heart

我瘋狂的祈求 完成我未完成的承諾

I desperately pray to fulfill my unfinished promise

因為我愛妳我想妳我要妳 再愛我

Because I love you, I miss you, I want you, love me again

我的天空下著雪 我的夢想破了洞

Snow falls under my sky, my dreams have holes in them

我拚命的呼喊妳名字 消失在風中

I shout your name with all my might, disappearing in the wind

失魂落魄

Lost and disoriented

贏得多少未來 又有什麼用

What use is winning a future?

我已經沒有 想飛翔的理由

I no longer have a reason to want to fly

我的胸口很痛 我怎麼會把妳搞丟

My chest hurts so much, how could I have lost you?

妳微笑地對我的信任的表情 還在我心中

The expression of trust in your smile still lingers in my heart

我瘋狂的祈求 完成我未完成的承諾

I desperately pray to fulfill my unfinished promise

因為我愛妳我想妳我要妳 再愛我

Because I love you, I miss you, I want you, love me again

給我一個機會 重新再來過

Give me a chance to start over

想要妳再回到我身邊 跟我有始有終

I want you back by my side, to have a beginning and an end with me

我的胸口很痛 我怎麼會把妳搞丟

My chest hurts so much, how could I have lost you?

我的肩膀很重 我扛著未完的承諾

My shoulders are heavy, carrying the unfinished promise

我自責的懺悔的愧疚的繼續 尋找妳影蹤

I continue to search for your trace, feeling guilty and remorseful

想再牽著妳的手 不在乎代價是什麼

I want to hold your hand again, not caring about the cost

因為我愛妳我想妳我要妳

Because I love you, I miss you, I want you

因為我愛妳我想妳我要妳 再愛我

Because I love you, I miss you, I want you, love me again
