Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

分手 難以招架 收回去吧

Breakup, I can't handle it, take it back

相愛 竟慘變做仇人嗎 真可怕

Love, unexpectedly turns into enemies, how scary

難與他 爭拗完嗎

Can't I stop arguing with him?

難與他 挨近一下

Can't I get close to him?

愛情是這麼殘忍嗎

Is love this cruel?

原來談戀愛 得不到理睬

So that's what love is like, being ignored

原來談戀愛 一起不會耐

So that's what love is like, we won't last together

原來談起傷害 淚流下伴侶可 沒存在

So that's what hurting is like, tears fall, but the partner is not there

原來談戀愛 需當出氣袋

So that's what love is like, needing to be a punching bag

原來我不該 信會被憐愛

So that's what it is, I shouldn't have believed I'd be loved

分手短訊 截圖上載

Breakup text, screenshot uploaded

想有人能知道 我悲哀

Wanting someone to know my sadness

...

...

好感 還記得嗎 刪除了吧

Good feelings, do you still remember? Delete them

相處 身心會累成如此 真驚訝

Being together, body and mind become so tired, such a surprise

難怪他 早就 沒牽掛

No wonder he stopped caring long ago

難怪他 一直 在欺詐

No wonder he has been cheating all along

愛情是這麼無法講價

Love is so priceless

原來談戀愛 等不到悔改

So that's what love is like, unable to wait for repentance

原來談戀愛 專一都有害

So that's what love is like, even devotion is harmful

原來談起將來 論承諾伴侶可 沒期待

So that's what talking about the future is like, no expectations of promises

原來談戀愛 都反面拍檯

So that's what love is like, turning against each other and banging the table

原來我不該 靜候被憐愛

So that's what it is, I shouldn't have waited to be loved

當初短訊 動人示愛

Back then, text messages, moving declarations of love

一個人重溫得 更悲哀

Revisiting it alone is even more sad

難放下善良

Hard to let go of kindness

看他如常 更該離場

Seeing him as usual, it's even more time to leave

原諒完又原諒 太過傷

Forgiving again and again, too much hurt

原來談戀愛 需狠心放開

So that's what love is like, needing to let go heartlessly

原來談戀愛 都必須自愛

So that's what love is like, needing to love yourself

原來要改改 別麻木投入錯裝載

So that's what it is, needing to change, don't numbly throw yourself into the wrong container

原來談戀愛 應懂得退開

So that's what love is like, needing to know when to back away

原來說分開 為另覓所愛

So that's what saying goodbye is for, to find another love

終止通訊 動搖別再

End communication, no more hesitation

找個人值得我 不斷愛

Find someone worth my constant love

無用怕熱戀 會刪改

No need to fear that passionate love will be deleted

更懂愛

Understand love even more

...
