我受够了等待你所谓的安排
I'm done waiting for your so-called plan,
说的未来到底多久才来?
How long until the future you promised arrives?
总是要来不及 才知道我可爱
I always find out too late just how charming I can be.
我想依赖 而你却都不在
I want to lean on you, but you're never around.
应该开心的地带 你给的全是空白
In the place where I should feel happy, all you've given me is emptiness.
一个人假日发呆 找不到人陪我看海
On my own during the holidays, I can't find anyone to watch the sea with me.
我在幸福的门外 却一直都进不来
I'm standing outside the door of happiness, yet I can never get in.
你累积给的伤害 我是真的很难释怀
The pain you've accumulated is something I truly struggle to let go.
终于看开 爱回不来
Finally coming to terms, but love won't return.
而你总是太晚明白
And you always realize things too late.
最后才把话说开
Only at the end do we finally speak our minds.
哭著求我留下来
Crying, you beg me to stay.
终于看开 爱回不来
Finally coming to terms, love can't return.
我们面前太多阻碍
So many obstacles stand before us.
你的手却放不开
Yet your hand refuses to let go.
宁愿没出息 求我别离开
I'd rather be a failure than ask you not to leave.
你总是要我乖 慢慢计划将来
You always want me to behave, planning our future slowly.
我的眼泪却一直掉下来
But my tears keep falling down.
过去怎么交代 你该给的信赖?
How do we explain the past, the trust you should have given?
被你亲手缓缓推入悬崖
Gently pushed by your own hands into the abyss.
从我脸上的苍白 看到记忆慢下来
From the pallor on my face, I see memories slowing down.
过去甜蜜在倒带 只是感觉已经不在
The sweetness of the past rewinds, yet the feeling is gone.
而我对你的期待被你一次次摔坏
And my expectations for you have been shattered time and again.
已经碎成太多块 要怎么拼凑跟重来?
They've broken into too many pieces, how can I piece them together and start anew?
终于看开 爱回不来
Finally, I've come to terms; love cannot return.
而你总是太晚明白
But you're always too late to understand.
最后才把话说开
In the end, that's when we finally spoke our truths.
哭著求我留下来
Crying, begging me to stay.
终于看开 爱回不来
Finally, I've come to terms; love cannot return.
我们面前太多阻碍
There are too many obstacles in front of us.
你的手却放不开
Yet your hand can't let go.
宁愿没出息 求我别离开
You'd rather have no future than ask me not to leave.
终于看开 爱回不来
Finally let it go, love won't return.
而你总是太晚明白
And you always understand too late.
最后才把话说开
Only at the end do you finally speak your mind.
哭著求我留下来
Crying, you beg me to stay.
终于看开 爱回不来
Finally let it go, love won't return.
我们面前太多阻碍
There are too many obstacles in front of us.
你的手却放不开
Yet your hand can't let go.
宁愿没出息 求我别离开
You'd rather have no future than ask me not to leave.
