[English]

The most beautiful scenery once was your side-profile smile

Friends laugh at me hiding my eyes, falling in love is so crazy

Oh woman, keep loving this way, foolishly forgetting the test

Searching and searching, like grasping at smoke that slips away

Sometimes I still dream of you, I should hold back more

Though it hurts, I hide you deep inside my heart

I just want to step forward bravely

Let the sunshine shine bright, leave worries behind

Let go of you, free myself, no tears at night, no insomnia

Promised to live vividly

I just want to step forward bravely

With sadness, still able to smile and say goodbye

No longer relying on anyone’s shoulders, finally grown up, finally brave

I know I’ll be okay, Goodbye my love

Every time I pass that shop, I’m used to looking inside

You knocked over my coffee—it was our moment of encounter

Love came, love went, no rehearsal, I remember each day

How many tears does it take to write a story

Actually, I still miss you when I think of you

Stubborn as we are, it’s hard to change

I just want to step forward bravely

Let the sunshine shine bright, leave worries behind

Let go of you, free myself, no tears at night, no insomnia

Promised to live vividly

I just want to step forward bravely

With sadness, still able to smile and say goodbye

No longer relying on anyone’s shoulders, finally grown up, finally brave

Without you, I am still fine, Goodbye my love

Releasing my hand makes it hard to hold again

There’s nothing to regret

Every experience will be a blessing

It takes years to forget your face

But I know I will let you go somehow

I just want to step forward bravely

Let the sunshine shine bright, leave worries behind

Let go of you, free myself, no tears at night, no insomnia

Promised to live vividly

I just want to step forward bravely

With sadness, still able to smile and say goodbye

No longer relying on anyone’s shoulders, finally grown up, finally brave

Without you, I am still fine, Goodbye my love

Goodbye my love

Goodbye my love

Goodbye my love

Goodbye, my love

[Chinese]

曾經最美的風景 你微笑的側臉

朋友笑我遮了眼 愛上就很瘋癲

女人啊 總這樣 傻傻愛 忘記了考驗

找尋又找尋 像抓不住的煙

偶爾還是 夢到你 我該再收斂

雖然痛 把你藏 心裡面

我只想 大步走向前

讓陽光 曬到發亮 煩惱放一邊

放下你放過自己 夜裡 不准有眼淚 不准失眠

說好要過的鮮豔

我只想 大步走向前

很不捨 都要能夠 笑著說再見

不再依靠誰的肩 終於長大了 終於勇敢了

我確定我會很好 Goodbye my love

每次走過那間店 總習慣望裡面

你碰倒我的咖啡 是相遇的瞬間

愛來了 愛走了 沒排練 我牢記每天

要多少眼淚 才能寫成一篇

其實常常 提起你 還是會想念

倔強的 我們都 難改變

我只想 大步走向前

讓陽光 曬到發亮 煩惱放一邊

放下你放過自己 夜裡 不准有眼淚不准失眠

說好要過的鮮豔

我只想 大步走向前

很不捨 都要能夠 笑著說再見

不再依靠誰的肩 終於長大了 終於勇敢了

沒有你一樣很好 Goodbye my love

放開的手 難再牽

沒有什麼 好虧欠

經歷的 每件事 都會是恩典

忘記你的臉 要花好多年

But I know I will let you go somehow

我只想 大步走向前

讓陽光 曬到發亮 煩惱放一邊

放下你放過自己 夜裡 不准有眼淚不准失眠

說好要過的鮮豔

我只想 大步走向前

很不捨 都要能夠 笑著說再見

不再依靠誰的肩 終於長大了 終於我勇敢了

沒有你一樣很好 Goodbye my love

Goodbye my love

Goodbye my love

Goodbye my love

再見 My love
