[English]

Forgive me, I really got drunk

Because I truly miss you

Without meaning to, loneliness takes over

It devours the happiness of loving you

I know I shouldn't do this

And I know you'll get hurt

I just don't want to rely on you too much anymore

I understand that the love you give

Is real and genuine

It's just that I don't know how to love

Which makes you want to leave

...

Because I don't know

If I'll meet you again in the next life

That's why in this lifetime,

I try so hard to give you my best

Loving you becomes hurting you

Our love is suffocating

It's not on purpose, but I love you too much

...

Forgive me, I really got drunk

Without meaning to, loneliness takes over

It devours the happiness of loving you

I understand that the love you give

Is real and genuine

It's just that I don't know how to love

Which makes you want to leave

Because I don't know if I will meet you again in the next life

That's why in this lifetime

I try so hard to give you my best

Loving you becomes hurting you

Our love is suffocating

It's not on purpose, but I love you too much

Because I don't know if I will meet you again in the next life

That's why in this lifetime,

I try so hard to give you everything I have

Loving you becomes hurting you

Our love is suffocating

It's not on purpose, I just love you too much

...

[Chinese]

原諒我真的喝醉了

因為我真的想你了

一不小心就被寂寞

吞噬了愛著你的快樂

我知道這樣不應該

也知道你會受傷害

只是不想再讓自己對你太過依賴

我明白 你給的愛

是真實地存在

只是我 不懂得如何去愛

才會讓你想離開

因為我不知道

下一輩子 還是否能遇見你

所以我今生才會

那麼努力 把最好的給你

愛你都變成傷害你

我們的愛快要窒息

不是故意 只是太愛你

我們的愛快要窒息

不是故意 只是太愛你
