[English]

Why do I need so many excuses

It makes me feel guilty that I haven't loved enough

I've been plotting for a long time, just to break up

Why not say it directly

Since you insist on having your freedom

Even staying would still leave me feeling wronged in the end

I've been tormented for so long

I have no reason to continue

Anyway, he doesn't suffer; all he wants is freedom

He never cares about my feelings

When there's no way out, it's better to let go

I also want freedom

He doesn't suffer; all he wants is freedom

He never cares about my feelings

When there's no way out, it's better to let go

...

Yeah-yeah

I also want freedom

[Chinese]

何必要那麼多的藉口

讓我內疚自己還愛的不夠

預謀了很久不過是想分手

何不直截了當的說出口

既然你非要你的自由

輓留也會讓我委屈到最後

煎熬了這麼久

已沒有繼續的理由

反正他都不難受 他只要自由

他都不會理會我的感受

退到無路可走 不如就放開手

我也想要自由

他都不難受 他只要自由

他都不會理會我的感受

退到無路可走 不如就放開手
