[English]

When longing slowly accumulates, becoming a burden,

Isn't it really time I let you go?

In the dark zone without you,

I try to get used to it,

Not talking about regrets is considered perfection.

Forgive me, I'm really not good at goodbyes,

Never thought this day would come.

I thought the forever you casually promised,

Could stand the test of time.

But the affectionate words in your eyes, are as fleeting as fireworks,

Novelty is ultimately not love.

Memories are rewinding, how can I let go?

Saying I'll let go, but stuck in an endless loop.

But the heartless words in your eyes, drain all my tears,

But you don't give an answer.

Let it be, fading away with the cold wind.

But after so long, how are you still,

My weakness?

...

Forgive me, I'm really not good at goodbyes,

Never thought this day would come.

I thought the forever you casually promised,

Could stand the test of time.

But the affectionate words in your eyes, are as fleeting as fireworks,

Novelty is ultimately not love.

Memories are rewinding, how can I let go?

Saying I'll let go, but stuck in an endless loop.

But the heartless words in your eyes, drain all my tears,

But you don't give an answer.

Let it be, fading away with the cold wind.

But after so long, I finally realized,

It's too late to understand you.

Sleepless nights alone, over and over.

I'm not regretting, but left a loophole, invaded by memories.

But the affectionate words in your eyes, are as fleeting as fireworks,

Novelty is ultimately not love.

Memories are rewinding, how can I let go?

Saying I'll let go, but stuck in an endless loop.

But the heartless words in your eyes, drain all my tears,

But you don't give an answer.

Let it be, fading away with the cold wind.

But after so long, I finally realized,

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
