[English]

We used to gaze at the starry sky, chatting and feeling the breeze, watching the sunrise so excitedly.

We used to stay together every day, foolishly talking about loving each other into the next generation.

How is it that you've captured my heart, but then pulled away and withdrew, no longer close?

Waiting alone, still empty-handed, tears barely hidden.

Looking at the text messages on my phone.

Listening to the voice messages in the recorder.

When will you come close again, from yesterday?

Tell me, where did you go? I can't even express my feelings clearly.

Oh, tell me, baby, where did you hide? My struggles haven't been understood.

Where did you go? It's been so long since I saw you.

Every night, I stay awake, obsessively wondering: where did you go?

Under the moonlight tonight, I see your shadow again, and giving flowers feels so touching.

My heart, once sweet as honey, is obviously happy, so why does it suddenly turn cold?

Why do you hug me suddenly, then turn around just as quick, no longer close?

Waiting alone, still empty-handed, tears barely hidden.

Looking at the text messages on my phone.

Listening to the voice messages in the recorder.

When will you come close again, from yesterday?

Tell me, where did you go? I can't even express my feelings clearly.

Oh, tell me, baby, where did you hide? My struggles haven't been understood.

Where did you go? It's been so long since I saw you.

Every night, I stay awake, obsessively thinking: where did you go?

Where did you go?

Where did you go?

How come at this moment I need you?

But you're not by my side.

Where did you go?

Where did you go?

This moment, I feel so attached, yet you can't feel it.

Where did you go?

Tell me, where did you go? I can't even express my feelings clearly.

Oh, tell me, baby, where did you hide? My struggles haven't been understood.

Where did you go? It's been so long since I saw you.

Every night, I stay awake, obsessively wondering: where did you go?

Tell me, where did you go? I can't even express my feelings clearly.

Oh, tell me, baby, where did you hide? My struggles haven't been understood.

Where did you go? It's been so long since I saw you.

Every night, I stay awake, obsessively thinking: where did you go?

[Chinese]

曾看著同星空 閒聊吹風 看日出多心動

曾每日纏一起 傻傻講起 能愛到下世紀

怎麼你俘虜這個心 卻抽身退隱 不再親近

獨自苦等 仍然空等 難藏淚印

看著 電話中短訊

聽著 錄音的口訊

昨天的你哪天再接近

Tell me where did you go? 心聲都不可細訴

Oh tell me baby where did you hide? 辛苦都未被諒解

Where did you go? 數數多久不碰到

我在每夜 徹夜狂想 Where did you go?

而這夜月光中 再見影縱 再獻花多感動

而似蜜甜的心 明明開心 為何又驟降溫

怎麼你一下子抱緊 卻一下子轉身 不再親近

獨自苦等 仍然空等 難藏淚印

看著 電話中短訊

聽著 錄音的口訊

昨天的你哪天再接近

Tell me where did you go? 心聲都不可細訴

Oh tell me baby where did you hide? 辛苦都未被諒解

Where did you go? 數數多久不碰到

我在每夜 徹夜狂想

Where did you go?

Where did you go?

怎會當這刻我需要你

你卻沒在我身邊

Where did you go?

Where did you go?

這秒鐘很掛牽 你卻不可感覺到

Where did you go?

Tell me where did you go? 心聲都不可細訴

Oh tell me baby where did you hide? 辛苦都未被諒解

Where did you go? 數數多久不碰到

我在每夜 徹夜狂想

Tell me where did you go? 心聲都不可細訴

Oh tell me baby where did you hide? 辛苦都未被諒解

Where did you go? 數數多久不碰到

我在每夜 徹夜狂想 Where did you go?
