[English]

I’m not crazy

How we started, how we ended

How it ended, yet it began again

Do you remember or not? How late it is now, yet another morning begins

How we separated, how we parted ways

How we met again, and fell in love

Do you recognize me or not? You should, all from you

I’m not crazy, I’m just really sad

I’m not crazy, I’m just fragile

No matter how much it hurts, I’ll let us be free

This is the real me, a truthful person

Time passes, and I’m still sad

I don’t want to stay, this wound still hurts

I’m not crazy, I just forgot to scream out in pain

Why don’t you understand? I just didn’t say anything, never said anything

How we broke up, how we parted ways

How we met again, and fell in love

Do you recognize me or not? You should, all from you

I’m not crazy, I’m just really sad

I’m not crazy, I’m just fragile

No matter how much it hurts, I’ll let us be free

This is the real me, a truthful person

Time passes, and I’m still sad

I don’t want to stay, this wound still hurts

I’m not crazy, I just forgot to scream out in pain

Why don’t you understand? I just didn’t say anything, never said anything

I’m not crazy, I’m just really sad

I’m not crazy, I’m just fragile

No matter how much it hurts, I’ll let us be free

This is the real me, a truthful person

Time passes, and I’m still sad

I don’t want to stay, this wound still hurts

I’m not crazy, I just forgot to scream out in pain

Why don’t you understand? I just didn’t say anything

Never said anything

Never said anything

[Chinese]

我沒有瘋

我們怎麼開始的 結束的

怎麼結束的 卻開始了

記得不記得 現在多晚了 又開始了早晨

我們怎麼分開的 分開了

怎麼相遇的 又愛著的

認得不認得 你應該認得 都是你給的

我沒有瘋 我只是很難過

我沒有瘋 我只是很脆弱

就算再痛 我也會讓我們自由

這才是我 一個坦白的我

時間走過 我只是還難過

我不想留 這傷口還在痛

我沒有瘋 是當初忘記了喊痛

怎麼不懂 我只是沒有說 都沒有說

我們怎麼分開的 分開了

怎麼相遇的 又愛著的

認得不認得 你應該認得 都是你給的

我沒有瘋 我只是很難過

我沒有瘋 我只是很脆弱

就算再痛 我也會讓我們自由

這才是我 一個坦白的我

時間走過 我只是還難過

我不想留 這傷口還在痛

我沒有瘋 是當初忘記了喊痛

怎麼不懂 我只是沒有說 都沒有說

我沒有瘋 我只是很難過

我沒有瘋 我只是很脆弱

就算再痛 我也會讓我們自由

這才是我 一個坦白的我

時間走過 我只是還難過

我不想留 這傷口還在痛

我沒有瘋 是當初忘記了喊痛

怎麼不懂 我只是沒有說

都沒有說

都沒有說
