你的视线 今晚有些改变
Your gaze has changed a bit tonight
害怕你说出伤人的字眼
I'm afraid you'll speak hurtful words
爱是苦辣酸甜 我都不能拒绝
Love is bittersweet, I can't refuse its call
陪你尝一遍 无怨
I'll taste it with you, no regrets
不想再见 却又回到原点
I don't want to see you again, yet here I am back at square one
掩饰不了双眼流落的思念
I can't hide the longing spilling from my eyes
爱是无路可逃 谁都不能忘掉
Love is a path with no escape, no one can forget
真实的拥抱 与哭嚎
A genuine embrace, and the sound of weeping
如果不想要 就不要 别假装一切都好
If you don't want it, then just don't pretend that everything's fine
我也受不了 梦想太无聊 抓不住你的心跳
I can't take it either, dreams feel too dull, can't hold onto your heartbeat
如果不想要 就不要 能这样简单多好
If you don't want it, then don't, how nice it would be if it were that simple.
爱也爱够了 伤痛太无聊 不要
I've loved enough, the hurt is just too boring, no more.
不想再见 却又回到原点
I don't want to see you again, yet I'm back to where it all began.
掩饰不了双眼流落的思念
Can't mask the longing that spills from my eyes.
爱是无路可逃 谁都不能忘掉
Love is a dead end, something that no one can forget.
真实的拥抱 与哭嚎
A real embrace, accompanied by cries.
如果不想要 就不要 别假装一切都好
If you don't want it, then don't, stop pretending everything is fine.
我也受不了 梦想太无聊 抓不住你的心跳
I can't take it anymore, chasing dreams is too dull, can't catch your heartbeat.
如果不想要 就不要 能这样简单多好
If you don't want it, then don't, how nice it would be if it were that simple.
爱也爱够了 伤痛太无聊 不要
I've loved enough, the hurt is just too boring, no more.
夏天已过了 回忆有泪有笑
Summer has passed, memories are filled with tears and smiles.
我站在失去你的街角
I stand at the corner where I lost you.
如果不想要 就不要 别假装一切都好
If you don't want it, then don't—don't pretend that everything's fine.
我也受不了 梦想太无聊 抓不住你的心跳
I can't take it either, dreams are too dull, I can't grasp your heartbeat.
如果不想要 就不要 能这样简单多好
If you don't want it, then don't—how much simpler it would be.
爱也爱够了 伤痛太无聊 不要
I've loved enough, the pain is too boring, just let go.
