[English]

When missing you slowly accumulates and becomes a burden

Should I really let you go?

In the dark place without you

I try hard to get used to it

Not mentioning regrets, that's considered perfect

Forgive me, I'm really not good at saying goodbye

And never thought this day would come

I thought the forever you casually promised

Could withstand the test of time

But the passionate dialogue in your eyes, like fireworks, is fleeting

The feeling of novelty is not love after all

Memories rewinding, how can I let go?

Saying let go, but falling into an endless loop

But the emotionless dialogue in your eyes, my tears have dried

Yet you don't give an answer

Let nature take its course, and let it dissipate with the cold wind

But after all this time, why are you still

My weakness

...

Forgive me, I'm really not good at saying goodbye

And never thought this day would come

I thought the forever you casually promised

Could withstand the test of time

But the passionate dialogue in your eyes, like fireworks, is fleeting

The feeling of novelty is not love after all

Memories rewinding, how can I let go?

Saying let go, but falling into an endless loop

But the emotionless dialogue in your eyes, my tears have dried

Yet you don't give an answer

Let nature take its course, and let it dissipate with the cold wind

But after all this time, I finally realize

It's too late to understand you

I'm alone, repeatedly sleepless

I'm not regretful, but I've left flaws, being invaded by memories

But the passionate dialogue in your eyes, like fireworks, is fleeting

The feeling of novelty is not love after all

Memories rewinding, how can I let go?

Saying let go, but falling into an endless loop

But the emotionless dialogue in your eyes, my tears have dried

Yet you don't give an answer

Let nature take its course, and let it dissipate with the cold wind

But after all this time, I finally realize

It's too late to understand you

...

[Chinese]

當想念慢慢積攢變成 一種負擔

是不是 真的該放你離開

在沒有你的黑暗地帶

我努力習慣

不談遺憾 就算得上圓滿

原諒我真的不太會告別

也沒想過有這一天

以為你隨口承諾的永遠

就可以敵過時間

可你眼中深情的對白 如煙花短暫

新鮮感終歸不是愛

回憶在倒帶 要怎麼釋懷

說著放下卻陷入無限循環

可你眼中無情的對白 淚都流乾

卻不說答案

順其自然 隨冷風消散

可過了這麼久你怎麼還是

我的短板

原諒我真的不太會告別

也沒想過有這一天

以為你隨口承諾的永遠

就可以敵過時間

可你眼中深情的對白 如煙花短暫

新鮮感終歸不是愛

回憶在倒帶 要怎麼釋懷

說著放下卻陷入無限循環

可你眼中無情的對白 淚都流乾

卻不說答案

順其自然 隨冷風消散

可過了這麼久我終於發現

讀懂你已晚

一個人反復失眠

我才不遺憾 卻留了破綻 被回憶侵佔

可你眼中深情的對白 如煙花短暫

新鮮感終歸不是愛

回憶在倒帶 要怎麼釋懷

說著放下卻陷入無限循環

可你眼中無情的對白 淚都流乾

卻不說答案

順其自然 隨冷風消散

可過了這麼久我終於發現

讀懂你已晚
