你说你爱了不该爱的人
You said you loved someone you shouldn't have
你的心中满是伤痕
Your heart is filled with scars
你说你犯了不该犯的错
You said you made a mistake you shouldn't have
心中满是悔恨
Your heart is full of regret
你说你尝尽了生活的苦
You said you've tasted all the bitterness of life
找不到可以相信的人
Can't find anyone you can trust
你说你感到万分沮丧
You said you feel utterly frustrated
甚至开始怀疑人生
Even began to doubt life itself
早知道伤心总是难免的
If I had known heartache was unavoidable
你又何苦一往情深
Why do you make it so hard to love deeply?
因为爱情总是难舍难分
For love is always hard to let go and hard to hold on to,
何必在意那一点点温存
Why bother with that little bit of warmth,
要知道伤心总是难免的
You must know that heartache is always unavoidable,
在每一个梦醒时分
In every moment when dreams awaken,
有些事情你现在不必问
There are some things you don't need to ask right now,
有些人你永远不必等
There are some people you never need to wait for,
你说你爱了不该爱的人
You said you loved someone you shouldn't have,
你的心中满是伤痕
Your heart is filled with scars,
你说你犯了不该犯的错
You said you made a mistake you shouldn't have,
心中满是悔恨
Filled with regret in your heart.
你说你尝尽了生活的苦
You said you've tasted all the bitterness of life,
找不到可以相信的人
Can’t find a soul to trust,
你说你感到万分沮丧
You said you're feeling deeply frustrated,
甚至开始怀疑人生
Even starting to doubt your very existence.
早知道伤心总是难免的
If only I'd known that heartache is always inevitable,
你又何苦一往情深
Why must you love so deeply?
因为爱情总是难舍难分
Because love is always hard to let go of,
何必在意那一点点温存
Why care about that little warmth?
要知道伤心总是难免的
You should know that heartache is always inevitable,
在每一个梦醒时分
In every moment when dreams awaken.
有些事情你现在不必问
Some things you don't need to ask right now
有些人你永远不必等
Some people you never need to wait for
早知道伤心总是难免的
If I had known heartache was always inevitable
你又何苦一往情深
Why must you cling so deeply to your love?
因为爱情总是难舍难分
Because love is always hard to let go and to hold on to
何必在意那一点点温存
Why care about that tiny bit of tenderness?
要知道伤心总是难免的
You should know heartache is always inevitable
在每一个梦醒时分
At every moment when dreams wake up
有些事情你现在不必问
Some things you don't need to ask right now
有些人你永远不必等
Some people you never need to wait for
