[English]

Walking alone

Love can only be complete in memories

Want to hold you inside my body

...

The rain lingers between the skies, like tears circling in my eyes

This might be the last time we meet

The past we’ve passed through, no time to relive it again

The embrace has long since grown cold

The sound of the tide drowns out the twilight of our farewell

Leaving only the warmth of reluctance

Under the stars, holding onto the fading warmth

Love can only be complete in memories

Want to hold you inside my body, but I dare not let you see

The tear that hasn’t fallen from the corner of my mouth

If this is the last page, before you leave

Can I rewrite the story?

...

The sound of the tide drowns out the twilight of our farewell

Leaving only the warmth of reluctance

Under the stars, holding onto the fading warmth

Love can only be complete in memories

Want to hold you inside my body, but I dare not let you see

The tear that hasn’t fallen from the corner of my mouth

If this is the last page, before you leave

Can I rewrite the story?

Want to hold you inside my body, but I dare not let you see

The tear that hasn’t fallen from the corner of my mouth

If this is the last page, before you leave

Can I rewrite the story?

...

[Chinese]

一個人走

愛只能在回憶裡完整

想把你抱進身體裡面

雨停滯天空之間 像淚在眼眶盤旋

這也許是最後一次見面

沿途經過的從前 還來不及再重演

擁抱早已悄悄冷卻

海潮聲淹沒了離別時的黃昏

只留下不捨的體溫

星空下擁抱著快雕零的溫存

愛只能在回憶裡完整

想把你抱進身體裡面 不敢讓你看見

嘴角那顆沒落下的淚

如果這是最後的一頁 在你離開之前

能否讓我把故事重寫?

海潮聲淹沒了離別時的黃昏

只留下不捨的體溫

星空下擁抱著快雕零的溫存

愛只能在回憶裡完整

想把你抱進身體裡面 不敢讓你看見

嘴角那顆沒落下的淚

如果這是最後的一頁 在你離開之前

能否讓我把故事重寫?

想把你抱進身體裡面 不敢讓你看見

嘴角那顆沒落下的淚

如果這是最後的一頁 在你離開之前

能否讓我把故事重寫?
