[English]

Because of you, I won't back down

No more regrets in this life, I won't argue

No longer listening to what others say, I don't care who understands

Just because the world is vast, it's just you and me

Building the universe with the smallest memories

Crowds, fireworks, champagne, and balloons

It's you who took me away from the party

Escaping the whispers and commotion of the world

Here, it's just you, me, and the starry sky

When did you quietly come close to me?

When did you secretly save me?

You placed a candy in the palm of my hand

Why do humans love to gaze at the sky?

Yet they all carry a pair of wounds on their backs

Born on this mortal planet

Do we not deserve to dream of being angels?

You gave me your wings

Taking me through the wolves and the cameras

Allowing me to taste a moment of freedom

Because of you, I fell in love with that piece of sky

Under the sky, I pray that it's you holding me

The most profound stories, the most eternal legends

It's just you and me who can live an ordinary life

Life is just a fleeting moment

The world is merely a gap between heaven and earth

Why must people live like demons?

Living in the cage of obsession with right and wrong

It's you who helped me stop the hourglass

It's you who taught me not to be afraid of making mistakes

It's you who makes me live differently

Because of you, I won't back down

No more regrets in this life, I won't argue

No longer listening to what others say, I don't care who understands

Just because the world is vast, it's just you and me

Building the universe with the smallest memories

Because of you, I fell in love with that piece of sky

Under the sky, I pray that it's you holding me

The most profound stories, the most eternal legends

It's just you and me who can live an ordinary life

Because of you, I won't back down

No more regrets in this life, I won't argue

No longer listening to what others say, I don't care who understands

Just because the world is vast, it's just you and me

Building the universe with the smallest memories

[Chinese]

因為你 所以我 所以我 不退縮

再不願 這一生中 有遺憾 不反駁

不再聽 別人說 不在乎 誰能懂

只因 世界 再大 不過 你和我

用最小回憶 堆成宇宙

人群 煙火 香檳和氣球

是你 帶我 從派對逃走

逃離 人間 耳語和騷動

這裏 只有 你我和星空

你是 何時 靜靜靠近我

你是 何時 偷偷拯救我

在我 掌心 放了 一顆糖果

人類 為何 都愛看天空

背上 卻都 有一對傷口

生在 這個 凡人的星球

是否 不配 作天使的夢

你將 你的 翅膀給了我

帶我 穿越 狼群和鏡頭

讓我 能夠 品嘗 片刻自由

因為你 所以我 愛上那 片天空

天空下 我在祈求 那是你 牽著我

最深刻 的故事 最永恆 的傳說

不過 是你 是我 能夠 平凡生活

人生 只是 須臾的剎那

人間 只是 天地的夾縫

人們 何苦 要活成修羅

活在 執著 對錯的牢籠

是你 幫我 停下了沙漏

是你 教我 別害怕闖禍

是你 讓我 活得 與眾不同

因為你 所以我 所以我 不退縮

再不願 這一生中 有遺憾 不反駁

不再聽 別人說 不在乎 誰能懂

只因 世界 再大 不過 你和我

用最小回憶 堆成宇宙

因為你 所以我 愛上那 片天空

天空下 我在祈求 那是你 牽著我

最深刻 的故事 最永恆 的傳說

不過 是你 是我 能夠 平凡生活

因為你 所以我 所以我 不退縮

再不願 這一生中 有遺憾 不反駁

不再聽 別人說 不在乎 誰能懂

只因 世界 再大 不過 你和我

用最小回憶 堆成宇宙
