[English]

What do you say? Knowing you're not here, I still ask.

The air, but it can't replace your voice.

Habit, like an stubborn scar that never heals.

Tears the soul apart with every thought.

I'll print an extra copy of the photo, so you can keep it.

I'll prepare an extra layer of sweater for you.

But, how can I save an extra portion of the warmth

that comforts you when you're alone?

I don't want to leave you alone, drifting in the sea of people alone.

I don't want you to walk through the wind and rain alone.

I don't want to leave you alone, bearing the cruelty of this world.

I don't want tears to accompany you to eternity.

After you left, the ruins of love are like an empty city.

Leaving behind your cup, gloves, and laughter.

In the end, you only took away your fragility and innocence.

And the person I can't let go of the most.

...

Maybe in the future, you'll find someone who understands you, cherishes you, someone better.

In the next journey, you must be happier and more abundant.

I don't want to leave you alone, drifting in the sea of people alone.

I don't want you to walk through the wind and rain alone.

I don't want to leave you alone, bearing the cruelty of this world.

I don't want tears to accompany you to eternity.

What do you say? Knowing you're not here, I still ask.

Just because I'm used to your satisfied gaze.

It's just the last extravagant wish I have.

I only wish you a happy life.

I only ask fate to take you on a brand new journey.

Rush towards the horizon of happiness.

Don't look back, just rush forward.

Please forget that I'm still alone.

...

[Chinese]

你說呢 明知你不在 還是會問

空氣 卻不能代替你 出聲

習慣 像永不癒合 的固執傷痕

一思念就撕裂靈魂

把相片 讓你能保存 多洗一本

毛衣 也為你準備多 一層

但是 你孤單時刻 安慰的體溫

怎麼為你多留一份？

我不願讓你一個人 一個人在人海浮沉

我不願你獨自走過 風雨的 時分

我不願讓你一個人 承受這世界的殘忍

我不願眼淚陪你到 永恆

你走後 愛情的遺跡 像是空城

遺落 你杯子手套和 笑聲

最後 你只帶走你 脆弱和單純

和我最放不下的人

也許未來 你會找到 懂你疼你 更好的人

下段旅程 你一定要 更幸福豐盛

我不願讓你一個人 一個人在人海浮沉

我不願你獨自走過 風雨的 時分

我不願讓你一個人 承受這世界的殘忍

我不願眼淚陪你到 永恆

你說呢 明知你不在 還是會問

只因 習慣你滿足的 眼神

只是 我最後一個 奢求的可能

只求你有快樂人生

只求命運 帶你去一段 全新的旅程

往幸福的天涯飛奔

別回頭就往前飛奔

請忘了我還 一個人
