[English]

Used to playing a minor role, who cares about existence

Lonely in the corner, gazing into the distance in the dark

Cast away, sitting alone on an island waiting for a visit

Until one day you crossed that storm

Discovering me, running a quick errand for me

Though the odds are slim, you’re always by my side

Is it an illusion? You’re unusually tense about me

Ignored for so long, I’m starting to shine

Miracles are the main character

Thanks to every storyline, never leaving me behind

Let’s spend endless scenes and time together, surrounding me

The chapter of being pampered never ends

In our shared topics, I can play my part

Ten years from now, I hope our story is still airing

Despite some mistakes, I’ll never miss being with you

...

Until one day I suddenly spark, like a treasure

Flaws that block the view, all look good to me

Though the odds are slim, you’re happy to stand by me

Perfect match, you’re amazingly understanding

My clumsy, dull self no longer hides

Breaking out from my introverted corner

Thanks to every storyline, never leaving me behind

Let’s spend endless scenes and time together, surrounding me

The chapter of being pampered never ends

In our shared topics, I can play my part

Ten years from now, I hope our story is still airing

Despite some mistakes, I’ll never miss being with you

Bad luck is broken because of you

Even the worst can be endured

No one loves me like you do

Thanks to every storyline, never leaving me behind

Let’s rebirth without wasting a single day of endless tomorrows

Loving you alone is pointless

In our shared topics, I can play my part

Twenty years from now, I hope our story is still popular

Thanks to the glow, I can show off as a supporting role

...

[Chinese]

做慣小角色 存在 誰稀罕

角落裡 獨處 暗中遠望

被流放 呆坐孤島等探訪

自某天你竟 橫渡 那風浪

發掘我 為我 跑一趟

機率縱渺茫 你亦已在旁

幻覺麼 你異常著緊我

受盡無視的我 漸發光芒

奇蹟做了主角

鳴謝 任何劇情絕不拋低我

讓無限橋段光陰一起消磨 圍繞我

受寵的章節沒結束過

從 共同話題內可飾演我

未來十年後願故事還在播

儘管不免差錯 和你總不錯過

自某天我竟 明亮 似寶藏

缺陷處 礙眼 都好看

機率縱渺茫 你樂意在旁

絕配麼 你異常諒解我

笨拙沉悶的我 沒再隱藏

逃出內向死角

鳴謝 任何劇情絕不拋低我

讓無限橋段光陰一起消磨 圍繞我

受寵的章節沒結束過

從 共同話題內可飾演我

未來十年後願故事還在播

儘管不免差錯 和你總不錯過

惡運也因你打破

最壞結果仍可 捱過

無人能如你 愛惜我

鳴謝 任何劇情絕不拋低我

讓無限明日不必啞口蹉跎 重生過

被愛下去無用單丁一個

從 共同話題內可飾演我

未來廿年後願故事還熱播

感激光環給我 炫耀我這種配角
