[English]

I ignore the calls, don’t want to remember the voices

Phone's off, rejecting boredom, no disturbances, stay in peace

It’s useless now, the secret was already exposed early on

Tired of explanations, enough of lies, I don’t need anything more

...

Changed my passwords, all your info's deleted

Emails changed, blogs erased, even my photo album’s cleared out

Let’s not meet again, I’ve seen through your true feelings too little

Enough of pretending, the show’s over, now it’s my turn to be cold

Our game is over, finally intense, isn’t it?

Am I the only one in your heart? Clearly it’s all just a joke

Our game is over, finally a shame, right?

No need to dwell on saying goodbye, no surprise — it's over now

Bye, no need to dream of a new beginning

Perfume fades, the necklace broke, even the stickers are peeled off

Let’s not meet again, I’ve seen through your true feelings too little

My heart’s enough, I’ve played enough — now it’s my turn to be ruthless

Keep fooling around with love, keep dreaming and keep smiling

Keep holding someone else each night, oh! Oh!

Continue to play around with love, keep dreaming and keep smiling

Stop pretending to regret, oh! Oh!

Our game is over, finally intense, isn’t it?

Am I the only one in your heart? Clearly, it’s all just a joke

Our game is over, no need to hide your change of heart

I should’ve seen right away, loving me was just a joke

Our game is over, finally a shame, right?

No need to dwell on parting, no surprise — it’s over now

...

No need to be surprised, it’s over now

Our game is over, yeah, finally intense, isn’t it?

Am I the only one in your heart? Clearly it’s all just a joke

Our game is over, no need to hide the change of heart (the game is now over)

I should’ve known from the start, loving me was just a joke

Our game is over, finally a shame, right?

No need to dwell on separation, no surprise — it’s over now

...

[Chinese]

來電沒理 不想將聲音記起

手機關上了 謝絕無聊 別滋擾 應心照

沒有用了 底牌一早給揭曉

解釋聽厭了 謊話講夠了 全也再不需要

密碼換了 親昵資料都報銷

E-mail改過了 Blog刪去了 連相簿都洗了

別再會了 已識穿真心太少

敷衍夠了 交足戲了 輪到我狠心了

Our game is over 終於緊張對嗎

心中只得我嗎 明明全是笑話

Our game is over 終於可惜對嗎

分開不需記掛 不必驚訝 game is over now

告別你 不必奢想新轉機

香水淡了 頸鏈斷了 連sticker都撕了

別再會了 已識穿真心太少

心花夠了 該玩夠了（輪到我狠心了）

繼續放任作弄愛吧 繼續發夢繼續笑吧

繼續每夜抱別個吧 oh! Oh!

繼續放任作弄愛吧 繼續發夢繼續笑吧

你別再扮作後悔吧 oh! Oh!

Our game is over 終於緊張對嗎

心中只得我嗎 明明全是笑話

Our game is over 不需掩飾變卦

應該一早看化 愛我全是笑話

Our game is over 終於可惜對嗎

分開不需記掛 不必驚訝 game is over now

不必驚訝 game is over now

Our game is over (yeah) 終於緊張對嗎

心中只得我嗎 明明全是笑話

Our game is over不需掩飾變卦 (the game is now over)

應該一早看化 愛我全是笑話

Our game is over 終於可惜對嗎

分開不需記掛 不必驚訝 game is over now
