[English]

Time cannot melt this hatred

In a fleeting moment with you, it's over, it's done

Living a happy life

Unable to fill this gap with love

Like a peak that’s been surpassed, in the rest of my days I only see

The approaching end

To prove I’ve let you go, I keep changing lovers

Talking about you with friends, yet still feeling bitter

Without you, who am I bringing home this life?

It’s all just an compromise

Even if adorable, never quite become the one I love

In a passionate kiss, still full of sorrow

Others seem so good, compared to you, so ordinary

If only that day, we had held each other tight

Or if we had already gone through something perfect

Countless autumns and winters

All I wish is to hold your hand till old age

All else is just compromises

Trying to settle and love someone else—with you in my heart

No one’s useful

In the last second, I said I’d forget

Next second, a sudden gust, and the pain returns

Even if I can endure this

But the best future has already fallen apart

Without you in the story, life feels so hazy

Blurred, no tears or smiles, unable to be moved anymore

Without you, who am I bringing home this life?

It’s all just an compromise

Even if adorable, never quite become the one I love

In a passionate kiss, still full of sorrow

Others seem so good, compared to you, so ordinary

Worldly troubles are relentless, youth passes quickly

Only this chapter with you, the most beautiful and painful

Everyday memories of that day

Shared stories and traditions between us

You might dream of coming back

Staying with me, in the memories of that room

How I wish to turn off the clock beside the bed

Stay with you in that night forever

In love passionately

Without you, who am I bringing home this life? All just compromises

Even if adorable, never quite become the one I love

In a passionate kiss, still full of sorrow

Others seem so good, compared to you, so ordinary

World’s approval, don’t forget your original intention

But my initial wish is weighing on my heart

A glance makes my eyes water

All I wish is to hold your hand till old age

All else is just compromises

Trying to settle and love someone else

Deceiving easily fooled, lacking confidence

In the last second, I said I’d forget

Next second, I accidentally lose control again

It all seems healthy and normal

But who was my deepest love, that’s already fallen apart

[Chinese]

時間沒法 融化的恨

共你分開剎那 從此宣告 完了吧

快樂人生

難以用愛 填滿這道缺陷

就似高峯過了 餘生只見

末日靠近

為証實放下你 不斷轉換情人

和同伴 一講起你 卻仍然不忿

如沒有你 今生再帶誰回家

皆一種折衷

就算可愛 難成最愛

熱吻中 亦滿面愁容

旁人多好 比起你 太普通

要是當天 牢牢相擁

或已經一起 過了完美的

很多秋與冬

唯願與你 牽手到老

其餘的 拉扯皆折衷

想將就 愛旁人 有你在我心

誰亦沒有用

上秒鐘 說淡忘

下秒鐘 一翻風 又劇痛

就算可 撐下來

但最好那未來 已落空

沒你在故事裡 生活那樣迷濛

模糊地 不哭不笑 無力再感動

如沒有你 今生再帶誰回家

皆一種折衷

就算可愛 難成最愛

熱吻中 亦滿面愁容

旁人多好 比起你 太普通

世事多舛 韶華匆匆

獨你這一章 最美亦最痛

日常亦記起 當天的各種

二人共有的 逸事及傳統

你會託夢回來

陪住 我在 思憶 那套房中

多麼想按熄 牀畔的鐘

好好跟你 停留在那夜

熱戀中

如沒有你 今生再帶誰回家 皆一種折衷

就算可愛 難成最愛

熱吻中 亦滿面愁容

旁人多好 比起你 太普通

世道嘉許 毋忘初衷

但我的初衷 卻壓住我心

一碰眼又紅

唯願與你 牽手到老

其餘的 拉扯皆折衷

想將就 愛旁人

騙個易騙的 都欠缺自信

上秒鐘 說淡忘

下秒鐘 不小心 又失控

貌似一切健全

但最深愛是誰 已落空
