梦游现实世界 你要我成熟一点
Dreaming through this real world, you want me to grow up a little.
收起天真的笑脸 学著温柔妩媚
Hiding away my innocent smile, learning to be gentle and charming.
但昨天的我 是那么无邪的体贴
But the me from yesterday was so innocently considerate.
若你不能爱我的一切 我就会消失不见
If you can't love all of me, I will vanish without a trace.
握著左手的自由 看见右手的伤口
Holding onto the freedom of my left hand, seeing the wounds of my right.
你不要为难我 我已经选择
Please don't make it hard for me; I've already made my choice.
两个人的寂寞 请你都回收
The loneliness of two, please take it all back.
是爱情的错 舍不得又如何
Is it the fault of love? If I can't let go, then what can I do?
握著你给的自由 却看见我的伤口
Holding onto the freedom you gave me, yet seeing my own wounds.
我不想再配合 你太多的规则
I don't want to comply anymore with your many rules.
两个人的伤痛 我都能承受
The pain of two, I can bear it all,
是我爱错了 却还是舍不得
It's my mistake in love, yet I can't let go,
梦游现实世界 你要我成熟一点
Dreamwalking through this reality, you want me to grow up a bit,
收起天真的笑脸 学著温柔妩媚
Hide away that innocent smile, learning to be gentle and alluring,
但昨天的我 是那么无邪的体贴
Yet yesterday, I was so pure and caring,
若你不能爱我的一切 我就会消失不见
If you can't love me entirely, I will fade away,
握著左手的自由 看见右手的伤口
Holding the freedom of my left hand, seeing the wounds on my right,
你不要为难我 我已经选择
Don't put me in a difficult spot, I've already made my choice,
两个人的寂寞 请你都回收
The loneliness of two, please take it all back,
是爱情的错 舍不得又如何
It's love's fault, but what can I do when I can't let go?
握著你给的自由 却看见我的伤口
Holding onto the freedom you gave, yet I see my wounds
我不想再配合 你太多的规则
I don’t want to comply any longer with your many rules
两个人的伤痛 我都能承受
I can bear the pain of both of us
是我爱错了 却还是舍不得
It’s my wrong love, but I still can’t let go
是风 是火 是海洋 是你残忍的眼光
It's the wind, it’s fire, it’s the ocean, it’s your cruel gaze
似懂 非懂 看不清 沿路伤心
Partly understood, partly unclear, unable to see, heartbroken along the way
是你 是我 是爱情 是满天哭泣的星星
It’s you, it’s me, it’s love, it’s the starry sky crying with tears
爱到心都碎了还是舍不得
Love has shattered my heart, yet I can't let go
握著你给的自由 却看见我的伤口
Holding onto the freedom you gave, yet I see my wounds
我不想再配合 你太多的规则
I don’t want to comply any longer with your many rules
两个人的伤痛 我都能承受
The pain of both of us, I can endure it all,
是我爱错了 却还是舍不得
It's my mistake in love, yet I still can't let go.
