[English]

No one could have imagined~

You would appear beside me~

Maybe it's just a joke played by fate~

I dare not get too close to you~

Afraid you might find me annoying~

Only myself, quietly alone~

What is it that brought us together?

What made the distance closer?

I don't ask for much, just a little more of your smile~~~

You’re just a passing guest passing through my world~

I'm afraid to hold on too tightly, worried you'll see I'm sad~

Maybe I think too much, but I can't give you anything~

Just trying to hurt less and smile more, that’s enough~~

I'm just a companion, here with you through sadness and hurt~

Loneliness counts your countless disappointments every day~

Tell me what you want, as long as I have it now~

All the little moments between us, I’ve always remembered~

I dare not get too close to you

Afraid you'll find me annoying

Only myself, quietly alone~

What is it that brought us together?

What made the distance closer?

I don't ask for much, just a little more of your smile~~~

You’re just a passing guest passing through my world~

I'm afraid to hold on too tightly, worried you'll see I'm sad~

Maybe I think too much, but I can't give you anything~

Just trying to hurt less and smile more, that’s enough

I'm just a companion, here with you through sadness and hurt~

Loneliness counts your countless disappointments every day~

Tell me what you want, as long as I have it now~

All the little moments between us, I’ve always remembered~

I’m just a passing guest passing through your world~

I dare not hold on too tightly, worried you'll see I'm sad~

I think too much, but I can't give you anything~

Just trying to hurt less and smile more, that’s enough~~~

I just want to stay with you every day, sharing your sadness and hurt~

Loneliness counts your many disappointments every day!

Tell me what you want, as long as I have it now~

All the little moments, I always remember~

[Chinese]

没有 谁能够想到~

你会 出现我身旁~

也许 使命运开的玩笑~

不敢 太靠近你的~

身边 怕你会嫌烦~

只有 一个人默默孤单~

是什么 让我们遇见的？

是什么 让距离更近了？

不奢求你多好 给我多一点微笑~~~

你只是一个过客 从我的世界路过~

我不敢太多不舍 怕你看出我难过~

也许我想的太多 却不能给你什么~

努力把伤心变少 笑容变多就好了~~

我只是个陪伴者 陪着你伤心难过~

寂寞它每天数着 你那么多的失落~

你想要什么你说 只要我现在有的~

我们之间的点点滴滴 我一直都记得~

不敢 太靠近你的

身边 怕你会嫌烦

只有 一个人默默孤单

是什么 让我们遇见的？

是什么 让距离更近了？

不奢求你多好 再多给我一点微笑~~~

你只是一个过客 从我的世界路过~

我不敢太多不舍 怕你看出我难过~

也许我想的太多 却不能给你什么~

努力把伤心变少 笑容变多就好了

我只是个陪伴者 陪着你伤心难过~

寂寞它每天数着 你那么多的失落~

你想要什么你说 只要我现在有的~

我们之间的点点滴滴 我一直都记得~

我只是一个过客 从你的世界路过~

我不敢太多不舍 怕你看出我难过~

我想的太多 却不能给你什么~

努力把伤心变少 笑容变多就好了~~~

我只想每天陪着 陪着你伤心难过~

寂寞它每天数着 你那么多的失落！

你想要什么你说 只要我现在有的~

点点滴滴 我一直都记得~
