[English]

Who says all fairy tales are just lies?

But some stories actually come true in the end.

Even though the journey was tough, the ending was beautiful.

Just one message can make me happy all day.

One single meeting makes me miss you for a whole month.

What's wrong with me? My old habits are back again.

Why am I thinking of you again?

This heartfelt song hasn't reached my soul, but its string broke again.

The words stuck in my throat cause a dull ache.

Gently humming, a quiet sadness playing out.

This heartfelt song, before I'm even sad, I'm already too deeply invested.

My burning lips sing out the true feelings from my heart.

This time, I've decided to throw caution to the wind and speak my heart.

Just one message can make me happy all day.

誰說童話裡面都是騙人的

可是有些故事最後成真了

儘管過程艱困最後結局是美的

一則訊息可以幸福一整天

一次碰面花一個月去想念

我怎麼了舊毛病又犯了

怎麼我又想你了

走心的歌還沒到心卻又斷了絃

卡在喉嚨裡的那一聲隱隱作疼

輕輕的哼淡淡的悲劇著

走心的歌還沒傷心卻入戲太深

唱出內心裡的那份真炙熱的唇

這次我決定奮不顧身把內心的話釋放了

一則訊息可以幸福一整天

一次碰面花一個月去想念

我怎麼了舊毛病又犯了

怎麼我又想你了

走心的歌還沒到心卻又斷了絃

卡在喉嚨裡的那一聲隱隱作疼

輕輕的哼淡淡的悲劇著

走心的歌還沒傷心卻入戲太深

唱出內心裡的那份真炙熱的唇

這次我決定奮不顧身把內心的話釋放了

走心的歌還沒到心卻又斷了絃

卡在喉嚨裡的那一聲隱隱作疼

輕輕的哼淡淡的悲劇著

走心的歌還沒傷心卻入戲太深

唱出內心裡的那份真炙熱的唇

這次我決定奮不顧身把內心的話釋放了
