[English]

Do you remember the first belief we shared, you and me?

Do you remember the childlike, simple love?

It felt like we were born to be together, with endless understanding and topics.

Putting on headphones, we slip into past memories.

Happy memories become the enemy of pursuing happiness.

Lonely gaps deepen the trap of loneliness.

The memories we treasured endlessly back then.

Turned into a rainy season with nowhere to hide.

Even the smallest things become the most painful sighs.

Every painful love story

traps two hurting hearts trying to break free.

If we call it a pity, then in the next chapter we'll cherish even more.

Perhaps a brave decision

could bring about two renewed vows.

We've arrived at a station, this station is called "Finally."

Finally, the beginning of an end, finally writing a period.

Finally we say goodbye, finally we return to the starting point.

We dry our tears day and night.

Before the future arrives, maybe we can say "long time no see."

Love isn’t about right or wrong; it’s not a simple black‑and‑white question.

Two people who love each other aren’t necessarily able to stay together.

Because we love, we stay together.

Because of deep love, we also part.

Meet at the next station; the ticket is our courage.

Every regrettable past

Back then, our hearts were named longing.

What cannot be forgotten, at least let it drift away in the wind.

Those sighs that we can’t see through.

One day they’ll become a faded scenery.

Even though that scenery always has someone absent.

Finally, the beginning of an end, finally writing a period.

Finally we say goodbye, finally we return to the starting point.

We dry our tears day and night.

Before the future arrives, maybe we can say "long time no see."

Long time no see, long time no see.

Finally, the beginning of an end, finally writing a period.

Finally we say goodbye, finally we return to the starting point.

We dry our tears day and night.

Before the future arrives, maybe we can say "long time no see."

Long time no see.

Standing at this starting point, we haven’t really gone far.

Actually I don’t want to say goodbye; my heart still misses you.

Embracing regrets year after year.

But today we must say farewell to yesterday we can’t return to, and rush toward tomorrow.

Rushing toward tomorrow, without looking back, a tomorrow without lingering affection.

[Chinese]

還記不記得 我和你 最初的相信

還記不記得 孩子般 最簡單的愛情

我們彷彿天生在一起 用不完的默契和話題

戴上了耳機 穿入曾經的 回憶

幸福的回憶 是追求 幸福的天敵

寂寞的間隙 是加深 寂寞的陷阱

當時無限珍藏的 回憶

變成無處躲藏的 雨季

讓最小事情 都變成最痛的嘆息

每一段傷痛的愛情

都困住兩顆想掙脫 傷痛的心

如果說可惜 就在下一章 更珍惜

也許一個勇敢的決定

能換兩個重生的 約定

我們到了站 這一站叫做 終於

終於結束的起點 終於寫下句點

終於我們告別 終於我們又 回到原點

流乾了眼淚 日日夜夜

未來前的我們 也許能說聲 好久不見

愛情並不是 對與錯 簡單是非題

相愛的兩人 不一定 能相守相依

因為相愛 所以在一起

因為深愛 所以又分離

約在下一站 車票是你我 勇氣

每一段遺憾的曾經

當時名字都叫憧憬 我們的心

不能忘懷的 至少釋懷吧 在風裡

那些無法看破的嘆息

某天會是看淡的 風景

雖然那風景 永遠有誰缺席

終於結束的起點 終於寫下句點

終於我們告別 終於我們又 回到原點

流乾了眼淚 日日夜夜

未來前的我們 也許能說聲 好久不見

好久不見 好久不見

終於結束的起點 終於寫下句點

終於我們告別 終於我們又 回到原點

流乾了眼淚 日日夜夜

未來前的我們 也許能說聲 好久不見

好久不見

站在這起點 其實沒有走遠

其實不願告別 其實我心中 依然想念

擁抱著遺憾 歲歲年年

卻要在今天 卻又不回的告別昨天 奔向明天

奔向明天 不回頭不眷戀的明天
