[English]

After you left, the whole world was like a night waiting for dawn.

I locked myself in the fifth season that doesn't exist.

A butterfly with clipped wings can only choose to say goodbye to the rose.

I never thought about the consequences; I thought you were everything I loved.

Scenes from novels and movies, embracing in front of the camera, then separating.

The overlapping of memories becomes obvious, blurring the past.

My love, drop by drop, in circles and circles, like a broken thread.

You once, cherished, swore an oath.

Time changes yesterday, so love will disappear.

My heart, bright and dark, scattered and adrift, suffocating and stranded.

You took away my breath, without a care.

Love is sinking at the edge, waiting for rescue.

[Chinese]

你走之後整個世界 像是期待黎明的黑夜

我被自己封鎖 在第五個不存在的季節

剪下了翅膀的蝴蝶 只能選擇和玫瑰告別

我沒想過後果 以為你就是我愛的一切

出現在 小說電影的橋段 鏡頭下擁抱 分開的畫面

回憶情節 重合明顯 模糊了從前

我的愛 滴滴點點 圓圓圈圈 像斷了線

你曾經 心心念念 信誓旦旦

時間 改變 昨天 所以 愛會消失不見

我的心 明明暗暗 零零散散 缺氧擱淺

你帶走 我的呼吸 不顧不管

愛淪陷在邊緣 等待救援

你走之後整個世界 像是期待黎明的黑夜

我被自己封鎖 在第五個不存在的季節

剪下了翅膀的蝴蝶 只能選擇和玫瑰告別

我沒想過後果 以為你就是我愛的一切

出現在 小說電影的橋段 鏡頭下擁抱 分開的畫面

回憶情節 重合明顯 模糊了從前

我的愛 滴滴點點 圓圓圈圈 像斷了線

你曾經 心心念念 信誓旦旦

時間 改變 昨天 所以 愛會消失不見

我的心 明明暗暗 零零散散 缺氧擱淺

你帶走 我的呼吸 不顧不管

愛淪陷在邊緣 等待救援

我的愛 滴滴點點 圓圓圈圈 像斷了線

你曾經 心心念念 信誓旦旦

時間 改變 昨天 所以 愛會消失不見

我的心 明明暗暗 零零散散 缺氧擱淺

你帶走 我的呼吸 不顧不管

愛淪陷在邊緣 等待救援
