[English]

I'd rather worry but hope you find a few more lovers

Don't love to sacrifice so much; happiness for yourself matters most

We once were together but couldn't keep you; I know clearly who you are

The sadder I am, the more excited I become

*Haven't truly thanked you for what you've done; I can't compare to you*

I'd rather this blessing be fully returned to you someday

If he doesn't cherish you, then let me cry for you instead

It's so fulfilling to suffer for you

Even after leaving you, I can still smile and cry for you

If hating someone means I suffer in your place, let me do it*

...

If I can't get sweet words, having a true friend is better

If this is me, I will pour out my feelings just like the first time

Who cares who was wrong at the start, just leave the sadness to me

To thank you for loving me so deeply

REPEAT＊

...

Even after parting, I will still hurt

...

[Chinese]

寧願擔心亦期望你 多找幾個情人

别這麽愛奉獻 但求自己快樂要緊

曾經一起未留住你 都清楚你爲人

越傷心你越會興奮

＊還未答謝你 曾付出的跟你沒法比

寧願這福氣 來日全部回贈你

如果那個他不愛護你準我代你哭

因你受罪是多麽滿足

離開了你都可以代你歡笑代你哭

若痛恨誰讓我代你痛＊

如得不到甜言蜜語 得到知己好過

若果這個是我 盡情地傾訴像最初

誰管當初是誰做錯 将悲傷交給我

爲感激你曾太愛我

REPEAT＊

就算别離後我亦會痛
