不想 不想再被你看轻
I don't want, I don't want to be belittled by you again.
可是我始终还不够聪明
But I still never seem to be smart enough.
在你面前不敢表现不高兴
In front of you, I can't dare to show my unhappiness.
不想 不想爱被看清
I don't want, I don't want love to be seen through.
然而决定总是不够坚定
Yet my decisions are always not strong enough.
狠不下心 不懂对你任性
I can't be cruel, don't understand how to be willful with you.
为何付出的心都得不到回应? 一切努力都是零
Why is the heart I give never returned? All my efforts add up to nothing.
多么可惜我还分得清 这是同情不是感情
How regrettable it is that I can still tell the difference; this is sympathy, not love.
我只要做一天的你 让我用一天你的表情
I just want to be you for a day, let me wear your expressions for a day.
了解你的心情 永远受欢迎 带一点烦恼的高兴
Understanding your feelings, always welcome, bringing a bit of troubled joy.
只要你做一天的我 让你过一天我的心情
Just let me be you for a day, to feel your heart for just one day.
耗尽所有热情 所有决心 还被你否定 是多么不公平?
Exhausting all my passion, all my resolve, only to be rejected by you—how is that so unfair?
不想 不想爱被看清
I don’t want, I don’t want love to be exposed.
然而决定总是不够坚定
Yet, decisions are never quite firm enough.
狠不下心 不懂对你任性
I can't be cruel, I don’t understand my stubbornness towards you.
为何付出的心都得不到回应? 一切努力都是零
Why is it that all my heartfelt efforts go unanswered? Every endeavor amounts to nothing.
多么可惜我还分得清 这是同情不是感情
How unfortunate it is that I can still tell the difference: this is sympathy, not love.
我只要做一天的你 让我用一天你的表情
I just want to be you for a day, to wear your expressions for a day.
了解你的心情 永远受欢迎 带一点烦恼的高兴
To understand your feelings, forever welcomed, carrying a bit of happy trouble.
只要你做一天的我 让你过一天我的心情
Just let me be you for a day, to feel your heart for just one day.
耗尽所有热情 所有决心 还被你否定 是多么不公平?
Having exhausted all passion and resolve, being denied by you, how unfair is that?
我只要做一天的你 让我用一天你的姓
I just want to be you for a day, let me carry your last name for one day.
让我疲倦的心能和你合并 就算是最虚荣的梦境
Let my weary heart merge with yours, even if it's the most vain of dreams.
只要你做一天的我 让你过一天我的心情
As long as you can be me for a day, let me share with you my feelings for a day.
耗尽所有热情 所有决心 还被你否定 是多么不公平?
Having exhausted all passion and resolve, being denied by you, how unfair is that?
