If you cry, time feels like it stops

...

Just to get a smile, one eye alone

...

After the fun, you always forget your composure, talking about him again, his posture and movement

...

Still want to invite me to analyze his personality

...

Unable to respond, in the end I gave you a Smiley Face

...

To avoid embarrassment, I lift my smile and show you my warmth

...

Forget me, it's okay. Whoever lets go, I hold tight

...

All because you are the reason for my happiness

...

I don't care if you're far or near, I don't even want a kiss

...

Just think about a day when you're cold, I'll be your heat

...

Forget me, it's okay. Even if I wait, I wait alone

...

Don't get angry when the sky playfully jokes

...

Here with me, every day is a smiling face greeting others

...

Being bullied, holding me and crying, turns out it's even more fitting

...

Impossible to control the ending, I knew from the start

...

Just erase the words, love of mine, tender yet uncertain

...

Forget me, it's okay. Even if I can't be with you, I wait

...

All because you are the reason for my happiness

...

I don't care if you're far or near, I don't even want a kiss

...

Just think about a day when you're cold, I'll be your heat

...

Forget me, it's okay. Even if I can't see you, I wait

...

The sky is just joking, don't be too upset

...

Here with me, every day is a smiling face greeting others

...

After being bullied, holding me and crying

...

Perhaps you'll want to keep hugging me all your life

...

When dawn breaks, my heart opens up; where are the scars?

...

I don’t wanna see you cry again

...

I wish I could be more than just a friend

I wish I could be more than just a friend

...

若你哭了 時間都叫停

...

為博一笑 單一單眼睛

...

愉快後你總是忘形 又再講起他 體態動靜

...

還想邀請我 分析他個性

...

無法對應最後我交出了 A Smiley Face

...

為怕為難你 翹起嘴角 奉上熱情

...

忘記我 不要緊 誰鬆手 我握緊

...

全因你是我的快樂原因

...

從不管 遠或近 亦不想 貪一吻

...

只想到某日當你寒冷 做你熱能

...

忘記我 不要緊 等不到 我都等

...

天開個玩笑不要極不忿

...

在我這邊 天天都笑面迎人

...

給欺負了 擁著我哭 原來更合襯

...

難以控制結局一早知道 Impossible

...

就抹掉言語 當我的愛 若有若無

...

忘記我 不要緊 誰鬆手 我握緊

...

全因你是我的快樂原因

...

從不管 遠或近 亦不想 貪一吻

...

只想到某日當你寒冷 做你熱能

...

忘記我 不要緊 等不到 我都等

...

天開個玩笑不要極不忿

...

在我這邊 天天都笑面迎人

...

給欺負了 擁著我哭

...

或你會想 一生都繼續抱緊

...

當天亮了 心便會開 何來有烙印

...

I don't wanna see you cry again

...

I wish i could be more than just a friend

I wish i could be more than just a friend
