非常感謝各位媒體記者朋友們的出席

Thank you very much to all the members of the press for attending.

今天小弟來到這兒呢

The reason I'm here today is...

是要跟大家澄清一些事兒

To clarify a few things with everyone.

對不起 我思想禁不起誘惑

I'm sorry, I couldn't resist the temptation.

把任性當成了自我

Mistook my stubbornness for individuality.

還追求什麼私生活

And what private life was I even chasing?

那都是飛蛾撲火

That was just a moth drawn to a flame.

對不起 總是想掙脫愛的枷鎖

I'm sorry, I always wanted to break free from the shackles of love.

動不動就是情緒勒索

Resorting to emotional blackmail at the slightest thing.

被外面世界蠱惑 看風不會使舵

Seduced by the outside world, unable to read the signs.

而現在我 決定認錯

And now, I've decided to admit my mistakes.

這不過是一場小風波

This is just a minor squall.

低下了頭 勇敢地示弱

I bow my head, bravely showing my weakness.

將無腦的自己數落

Reproaching my mindless self.

所以千錯萬錯都是我的錯

So all the wrongs are mine, all my fault.

你是如此傾城又傾國

You are so beautiful, devastatingly gorgeous.

我還貪圖天空海闊

And I still craved the open sky and vast sea.

失去你又怎麼過活

How can I live without you?

不知死活

Oblivious to my own peril.

犯了不少人會犯的錯

I made mistakes that many people make.

有話直說不考慮結果

Saying what's on my mind without considering the consequences.

我會慢慢學習揣摩

I will slowly learn to understand.

該怎麼說怎麼面對

How to speak, how to face things.

怎麼承諾

How to make promises.

有錯沒錯

Right or wrong.

都不再去顛頗

I won't wander aimlessly anymore.

不再讓你難過

I won't make you sad anymore.

本人某某承諾

I, so-and-so, promise.

錯了就認錯

If I'm wrong, I'll admit it.

在你面前尊嚴又算什麼

What is dignity worth in front of you?

最好就沉默

It's best to stay silent.

我越軌我是鬼哭愛人禍

I overstepped, I'm the one who caused this tragedy.

重新振作乖乖合作

I'll pick myself up and cooperate obediently.

畢竟不是非要你死我活

After all, it doesn't have to be a life-or-death situation.

何必猜疑捉摸

Why bother with suspicion and guessing?

說什麼我就是我卻疑惑

Saying I'm myself, yet feeling uncertain.

又不甘寂寞

And yet, unwilling to be lonely.

怪當初太執著太不識貨

Blame myself for being too stubborn and not knowing what I had.

才死得其所

That's why I deserve this end.

當愛走到走火入魔不再胡說

When love becomes obsessive, I'll stop talking nonsense.

答應你下次絕沒有如果

I promise you, there will be no next time, no what-ifs.

我拼死的拼活的

I desperately, frantically...

說服我投降了可能會比較好過

Convinced myself that surrendering might be easier.

所以千錯萬錯都是我的錯

So all the wrongs are mine, all my fault.

你是如此傾城又傾國

You are so beautiful, devastatingly gorgeous.

我還貪圖天空海闊

And I still craved the open sky and vast sea.

失去你又怎麼過活

How can I live without you?

不知死活

Oblivious to my own peril.

犯了不少人會犯的錯

I made mistakes that many people make.

有話直說不考慮結果

Saying what's on my mind without considering the consequences.

我會慢慢學習揣摩

I will slowly learn to understand.

該怎麼說怎麼面對

How to speak, how to face things.

怎麼承諾

How to make promises.

你是否能接受

Can you accept it?

如今我 只能夠靜待著結果

Now, I can only patiently wait for the result.

不需再懷疑

No need to doubt anymore.

這人生是否仍屬於我

Whether this life still belongs to me.
