[English]

The light is on, the scene before me

A vast room, a lonely bed

The light is off, everything looks the same

The pain in my heart cannot be shared

Life flows away with the years, grows old with white hair

With your departure, happiness fades into silence

As the past fades away, I drift into dreams

As my numb heart gradually drifts away

I miss you so much, so much, yet I leave no trace

I still stand on tiptoe, missing you, I still let memories swirl

I still close my eyes and cry, I still pretend it doesn't matter

I miss you so much, so much, yet I deceive myself

...

The light is on, the scene before me

A vast room, a lonely bed

The light is off, everything looks the same

The pain in my heart cannot be shared

Life flows away with the years, grows old with white hair

With your departure, happiness fades into silence

As the past fades away, I drift into dreams

As my numb heart gradually drifts away

I miss you so much, so much, yet I leave no trace

I still stand on tiptoe, missing you, I still let memories swirl

I still close my eyes and cry, I still pretend it doesn't matter

I miss you so much, so much, yet I deceive myself

I miss you so much, so much, let it be a secret

I miss you so much, so much, buried deep in my heart

...

[Chinese]

開了燈 眼前的模樣

偌大的房 寂寞的床

關了燈 全都一個樣

心裡的傷 無法分享

生命隨年月流去 隨白髮老去

隨著你離去 快樂渺無音訊

隨往事淡去 隨夢境睡去

隨麻痺的心逐漸遠去

我好想你 好想你 卻不露痕跡

我還踮著腳思念 我還任記憶盤旋

我還閉著眼流淚 我還裝作無所謂

我好想你 好想你 卻欺騙自己

開了燈 眼前的模樣

偌大的房 寂寞的床

關了燈 全都一個樣

心裡的傷 無法分享

生命隨年月流去 隨白髮老去

隨著你離去 快樂渺無音訊

隨往事淡去 隨夢境睡去

隨麻痺的心逐漸遠去

我好想你 好想你 卻不露痕跡

我還踮著腳思念 我還任記憶盤旋

我還閉著眼流淚 我還裝作無所謂

我好想你 好想你 卻欺騙自己

我好想你 好想你 就當作秘密

我好想你 好想你 就深藏在心
