[English]

Actually, no need for medical proof

The illnesses I have, I can cure

I'll win a Nobel Prize (clap hands quickly)

Accustomed to being sick, I can cure the sickness, wounded in the crossfire (also winning prizes)

Honestly, it’s just one phrase

"Taking your life, saving your life"

The secret often involves serious injury (saving serious injuries)

Your kind of fate, my kind of fate, I have to listen (I will listen)

Love is a tough battle, setbacks turn you into a general

Today you’re half-wings, you are an idol

Every time I can’t kill you, I can’t kill you, I heal you

Remember to fight back, fight back, don’t die

Tears contain painkillers

Everyone relies on crying, crying, crying to open eyes, ears, mouth, and nose

Every time I can’t kill you, I can’t kill you, I heal you

Willing to find flavors and fragrances in the dust

Absorbing heartbreak, accepting parting

Forge chest muscles, abs, and heart muscles, to treat the root, it must be heavy on the taste

...

Who cares about encouraging quotes?

Teach you how, teach me how

Every time I get into trouble, I meditate (meditative thinking)

This dose, this dose to calm the nerves (more than light)

Love is a tough battle, setbacks turn you into a general

Today you’re half-wings, you are an idol

Every time I can’t kill you, I can’t kill you, I heal you

Remember to fight back, fight back, don’t die

Tears contain painkillers

Everyone relies on crying, crying, crying to open eyes, ears, mouth, and nose

Every time I can’t kill you, I can’t kill you, I heal you

Willing to find flavors and fragrances in the dust

Absorbing heartbreak, accepting parting

Forge chest muscles, abs, and heart muscles, to treat the root, it must be heavy on the taste

...

The world suddenly freezes, past events all flash by

Poisoning wounds with arsenic, shining with pain

Every time I can’t kill you, I can’t kill you, I heal you

Remember to fight back, fight back, don’t die

Tears contain painkillers

Everyone relies on crying, crying, crying to open eyes, ears, mouth, and nose

Every time I can’t kill you, I can’t kill you, I heal you

Willing to find flavors and fragrances in the dust

Absorbing heartbreak, accepting parting

Whoever wants victory, victory, victory, victory, victory, victory

The deadliest breakups are the most flavorful

...

[Chinese]

其實不必醫學根據

我有的病 我會醫病

我會攞諾貝爾獎 (快拍掌)

慣了生病 已會醫病 既中槍 (也中獎)

其實講穿只是一句

"要你的命 救你的命"

秘訣一般以重傷 (救重傷)

你這種命 我這種命 也要聽 (我會聽)

愛也是場硬仗 挫折練成大將

今天羽翼半張 你是偶像

每次殺不死你 殺不死你 也醫好你

切記要爭口氣 要爭口氣 你不要死

眼淚裡含有止痛藥

誰亦靠啜泣 啜泣 啜泣去通眼耳口鼻?

每次殺不死你 殺不死你 也醫好你

情願從山埃找到了色香味

吸收心痛 接受別離

磨練出胸肌 腹肌 心肌 要治本必須重口味

誰又稀罕鼓勵金句?

教你怎樣 教我怎樣

每次遭殃靠冥想 (去養想)

這個劑量 這個劑量去壓驚 (大過輕)

愛也是場硬仗 挫折練成大將

今天羽翼半張 你是偶像

每次殺不死你 殺不死你 也醫好你

切記要爭口氣 要爭口氣 你不要死

眼淚裡含有止痛藥

誰亦靠啜泣 啜泣 啜泣去通眼耳口鼻?

每次殺不死你 殺不死你 也醫好你

情願從山埃找到了色香味

吸收心痛 接受別離

磨練出胸肌 腹肌 心肌 要治本必須重口味

世界突然定鏡 過去事全冒上

砒霜對付創傷 痛著發亮

每次殺不死你 殺不死你 也醫好你

切記要爭口氣 要爭口氣 你不要死

眼淚裡含有止痛藥

誰亦靠啜泣 啜泣 啜泣去通眼耳口鼻?

每次殺不死你 殺不死你 也醫好你

情願從山埃找到了色香味

吸收心痛 接受別離

誰若要勝利 勝利 勝利 勝利 勝利 勝利

最毒的分手也細味
