没有表情一个人坐着
Sitting alone without a trace of expression
等着一个安慰的理由
Waiting for a reason to find some comfort
但你没有
But you never came
她不是始作俑者 缺席的你罪恶的问候
She’s not the instigator, your absent, wicked greeting
用沉默代替解脱 迷失在你的话语
Replacing freedom with silence, lost in your words
用微笑告别以后 这一刻后彼此要擦身而过
Saying goodbye with a smile, after this moment we’ll just pass by
放下一切让你走 就这样不再联络
Letting everything go, letting you walk away, just like that, no more contact
想起你电话来时的表情 想起从前爱你的声音
Remembering the look on your face when you called, recalling the voice that once loved you
想起总是微微笑的你 想起从前爱你的调皮
Thinking of you always smiling gently, reminiscing about your playful love
想起如果没有遇见你 想起从前爱你的甜言蜜语
Remembering what it would be like if I never met you, recalling sweet words that once captured my heart
面对着自己 背对离去的你 我已失去
Facing myself, turned away from you departing, I have lost.
她不是始作俑者 缺席的你罪恶的问候
She is not the instigator, your absent, wicked greetings.
用沉默代替解脱 迷失在你的话语
Replacing liberation with silence, lost in your words.
用微笑告别以后 这一刻后彼此要擦身而过
Saying goodbye with a smile, after this moment we must brush past each other.
放下一切让你走 就这样不再联络
Letting go of everything to let you leave, just like that we no longer contact.
想起你电话来时的表情 想起从前爱你的声音
Recalling the expression when your call came, remembering the voice that once loved you.
想起总是微微笑的你 想起从前爱你的调皮
Remembering you who always smiled gently, recalling the playful love we used to share.
想起如果没有遇见你 想起从前爱你的甜言蜜语
Thinking of if I had never met you, remembering the sweet nothings from our past love.
面对着自己 背对离去的你 我已失去
Facing myself, turned away from you departing, I have lost.
多年后时间不再紧凑 你我的以后也不再拼凑
Years later, time is no longer tight, our futures will no longer fit together.
爱情始作俑者不是谁 没有谁错又或谁对
Love's instigator is none but fate, no one is wrong, nor is anyone right.
不再害怕面对
No longer afraid to face it.
想起你电话来时的表情 想起从前爱你的声音
Remembering your expression when your call came, recalling the sound of your love from before.
想起总是微微笑的你 想起从前爱你的调皮
Thinking of you, always smiling softly, reminiscing about your playful charm from days gone by.
想起如果没有遇见你 想起从前爱你的甜言蜜语
Pondering how life would be without meeting you, recalling your sweet words of love from the past.
面对着自己 背对离去的你 我已失去
Facing myself while turning away from you who has gone, I have already lost.
面对着自己 背对离去的你 选择放弃
Facing myself while turning away from you who has left, choosing to let go.
