[English]

In the air, only breaths remain

Tears have fallen, turning to mud on the ground

In my world, you’ve left your own path

Blame myself for hesitating

Only left with myself, so isolated

Having loved you, I still can’t erase it

In the cold wind, memories chase after me

So captivating, it’s hard to resist

Shouting your name

How can I lose control like this?

Blame myself for hesitating

Summoning courage, yet giving up again

Throwing myself into chaos

Closing my eyes, you’re running away

I think of you in every dark night

Mocking myself for being so foolish

Never knowing how to cherish

So easily, I lost you

I’ll wait for you at the next crossroads

It doesn’t matter if there’s a reason or not

To meet you again, to hold you tightly once more

[Chinese]

空气中 只剩呼吸

眼泪已 落地成泥

我的世界里 你有了你的轨迹

怪自己 举棋不定

只剩自己 太过孤立

爱过你 终究还是 抹不去

冷风中 追来回忆

让人听了如此沉溺

喊你的姓名

该如何歇斯底里

怪自己 举棋不定

鼓起勇气 却又放弃

慌乱了自己

闭上眼 你在逃避

我总在每一个黑夜想你

嘲笑自己 傻得可以

没懂得珍惜

那么轻易 丢了你

我会在下一个路口等你

有没有原因也没关系

再次遇见你 再次拥你把你抱紧
