[English]

I want to hold you close

I'm afraid to let you see

Rain hangs still in the sky

Like tears swirling in my eyes

This might be the last time we meet

The bygone moments we've passed along the way

There's no chance to replay them again

The hug has already quietly grown cold

The sound of the tide drowned the twilight at our parting

Only the lingering warmth of our bodies remains

Under the starry sky, we hold onto the warmth that's fading fast

Love can only be whole in memories

I want to hold you close

I'm afraid to let you see

The tear that still clings at the corner of my mouth

If this is the last page

Before you leave

May I rewrite the story

Rain hangs still in the sky

Like tears swirling in my eyes

This might be the last time we meet

The bygone moments we've passed along the way

There's no chance to replay them again

The hug has already quietly grown cold

The sound of the tide drowned the twilight at our parting

Only the lingering warmth of our bodies remains

Under the starry sky, we hold onto the warmth that's fading fast

Love can only be whole in memories

I want to hold you close

I'm afraid to let you see

The tear that still clings at the corner of my mouth

If this is the last page

Before you leave

May I rewrite the story

I want to hold you close

I'm afraid to let you see

The tear that still clings at the corner of my mouth

If this is the last page

Before you leave

May I rewrite the story

[Vietnamese]

想把你抱进身体里面

不敢让你看见

雨停滞天空之间

像泪在眼眶盘旋

这也许是最后一次见面

沿途经过的从前

还来不及再重演

拥抱早已悄悄冷却

海潮声淹没了离别时的黄昏

只留下不舍的体温

星空下拥抱着快凋零的温存

爱只能在回忆里完整

想把你抱进身体里面

不敢让你看见

嘴角那颗没落下的泪

如果这是最后的一页

在你离开之前

能否让我把故事重写

雨停滞天空之间

像泪在眼眶盘旋

这也许是最后一次见面

沿途经过的从前

还来不及再重演

拥抱早已悄悄冷却

海潮声淹没了离别时的黄昏

只留下不舍的体温

星空下拥抱着快凋零的温存

爱只能在回忆里完整

想把你抱进身体里面

不敢让你看见

嘴角那颗没落下的泪

如果这是最后的一页

在你离开之前

能否让我把故事重写

想把你抱进身体里面

不敢让你看见

嘴角那颗没落下的泪

如果这是最后的一页

在你离开之前

能否让我把故事重写
