[English]

He used his forgotten instinct and walked so far

Even today, you still remember him

With your half-step slow footsteps, you walk so tired

Even now, he hasn't noticed

I feel sorry for you, not knowing how to say goodbye

Let the past keep replaying

Stubbornly circling in the sky of memories, that day

On a rainy night, your heart shattered completely

Let the rain quietly hide your tears

I won't ask, won't say you're a bit silly

I'm soaked through, I'll be here with you

...

Like an actor, treating sadness as rehearsals

Tamed during the day, but nights become even more intense

Like a fallen leaf, yellow and drifting before landing

The heavier the emotions, the closer to the ground you get

I feel sorry for you, refusing to stop

Can't let go, stubbornly wanting to break free

Lies are easy to understand, but facing the truth is always hard

On a rainy night, your heart shattered completely

Let the rain quietly hide your tears

I won't ask, won't say you're a bit silly

I'm soaked through, I'll be here

On a clear night, your heart finally falls asleep quietly

Let the moonlight gently evaporate your tears

No one asks, no one advises you to be smarter

The rain has stopped, and I'm still here

...

Everyone gets hurt, everyone will cry. After crying, don't deny the past

Happiness and good times are still here, waiting for you

...

[Chinese]

他用他遺忘的本能 走了那麼遠

一直到今天 你還為他紀念

你用慢半拍的腳步 走得那麼累

一直到今天 他都沒有察覺

心疼你 不懂告別

讓過往 不斷上演

記憶的上空 倔強地盤旋著那一天

下雨的夜晚 你的心整個都摔碎了

讓雨水 靜靜掩護你的眼淚

我不會問 不會說你太傻了一點

濕透了 我會在這裡 陪著你

像一個演員 把悲傷當作是排練

白天被馴服 夜晚卻更劇烈

像一片落葉 墜落前枯黃的紛飛

情緒越沈重 就越貼近地面

心疼你 不肯停歇

離不開 固執欲絕

謊言容易懂 真相卻總難以去面對

下雨的夜晚 你的心整個都摔碎了

讓雨水 靜靜掩護你的眼淚

我不會問 不會說你太傻了一點

濕透了 我會在這裡

放晴的夜晚 你的心終於悄悄睡了

讓月光 靜靜蒸發你的眼淚

誰都別問 都別勸你要聰明一點

雨停了 我還在這裡

受傷了 誰都會哭泣 哭完了 別否定過去

快樂的 美好的 都還在這裡 等著你
