Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

看你 垂頭喪氣

...

過去如何刻骨銘記

...

也應該捨棄 要將傷心處 治理

...

看你 逢場作戲

...

勉強談情 不忍後會無期

...

痛得多淒美 共愛侶漫遊赤地

...

像滿開的薔薇 逐片枯死

...

遠離 尚有逆轉時機

...

重頭開始 當你拔去心底裡那根刺

...

何來流血不止

...

你還明智 創傷懂得去醫

...

重頭開始 當你遺忘歷史

...

往事才擱置

...

思憶也無瑕如白紙

...

重編寫一次

...

...

...

看你 長埋志氣

...

妥協情人委屈了你

...

怕失之交臂 結果將知覺都拋棄

...

看你 無從斷尾

...

惡性循環充當後備

...

有多少歪理 為愛侶視為見地

...

劇痛不足為奇 但你竟怕忍痛別離

...

直至面相全非

...

重頭開始 當你拔去心底裡那根刺

...

何來流血不止

...

你還明智 創傷懂得去醫

...

重頭開始 當你遺忘歷史

...

往事才擱置

...

思憶也無瑕如白紙

...

餘生改寫於此

...

共愛侶 未相倚

...

已消磨意志

...

如何憑存在意義

...

再相擁半次

...

重頭開始 當你撥去心底裡那根刺

...

何來流血不止

...

你還明智 創傷懂得去醫

...

重頭開始 當你遺忘歷史

...

掛念難添置

...

讓痛苦血淚停止

...

何苦抑鬱不已

...

別感性地 摧毀理智

...

...

...
