不敢睡怕噩梦 醒著又怕想到心痛
Afraid to sleep, scared of nightmares; awake, yet haunted by heartache.
血滴在心中 多苦我能懂
Blood drips in my heart; how bitter it is, I understand.
绝不让一步 把自己逼疯
I won't take a step back; driving myself to madness.
你很想知道 谁盗走 她的梦
You really want to know who stole her dreams.
梁: 我们都会失控 有人抢 越是不放松
We all lose control; someone grabs, yet doesn’t let go.
如果忘了初衷 最后争到手也没用
If you forget your original intent, fighting to hold on is pointless.
感觉自己像 面对个黑洞
Feeling like I'm facing a black hole.
多努力激动 回应都是空
No matter how hard I try to stir things up, responses are empty.
除非自己想通 挣脱这场捉弄
Unless I come to terms with this, breaking free from this teasing.
陈: 你为谁拔河 梁: 女人之间计较特别苛
For whom are you tugging at? Between women, the calculations can be particularly harsh.
陈: 爱恨在拉扯 梁: 男人的错很快不记得
Chen: Love and hate in a tug-of-war, Liang: A man's mistakes are quickly forgotten
陈: 感情怎么分割
Chen: How do you divide feelings?
合: 怎么曲折 都等她选择 你争的究竟是爱 还是种资格
Together: No matter how twisted it gets, we wait for her choice; are you fighting for love, or just for status?
梁: 你别再拔河 陈: 真心不是谁比谁坎坷
Liang: Don't pull against each other; Chen: True hearts don't measure struggles against each other.
梁: 能舍才能得 陈: 泪水不能解幸福的渴
Liang: You must let go to gain; Chen: Tears can't quench the thirst for happiness.
梁: 爱其实说穿了
Liang: To be honest about love.
合: 不该你的 不怪谁招惹 只拖著 她的躯壳爱著 那又如何
Together: What's not yours shouldn't be blamed on anyone; it's merely dragging her shell, loving her—so what?
陈: 我们都会失控 有人抢 越是不放松
Chen: We'll all lose control; someone grabs on tighter, never letting go.
如果忘了初衷 最后争到手也没用
If you've forgotten the original intention, in the end, what's the point of winning?
梁: 感觉自己像 面对个黑洞多努力激动
Liang: I feel like I'm facing a black hole, no matter how hard I strive, it's overwhelming.
回应都是空除非自己想通 挣脱这场捉弄
Responses are all empty unless you find your own clarity, breaking free from this game of tricks.
陈: 你为谁拔河 梁: 女人之间计较特别苛
Chen: Who are you pulling the rope for? Liang: Women weigh their concerns especially harshly.
陈: 爱恨在拉扯 梁: 男人的错很快不记得
Chen: Love and hate are in a tug-of-war. Liang: Men's mistakes are quickly forgotten.
陈: 感情怎么分割
Chen: How do we divide these feelings?
合: 怎么曲折 都等她选择 你争的究竟是爱 还是种资格
Together: No matter how twisted, we're just waiting for her choice. Are you fighting for love or for some kind of status?
梁: 你别再拔河 陈: 真心不是谁比谁坎坷
Liang: Don't pull the rope anymore. Chen: True feelings aren't about who has it tougher.
梁: 能舍才能得 陈: 泪水不能解幸福的渴
Liang: To gain, you must be willing to let go. Chen: Tears won't quench the thirst for happiness.
梁: 爱其实说穿了
Liang: Love, if you strip it bare,
合: 不该你的 不怪谁招惹 只拖著 她的躯壳爱著 那又如何
Together: What's not meant for you, don't blame anyone for stirring it up. Just holding on, loving her empty shell, so what?
陈: 你别再拔河 梁: 真心不是谁比谁坎坷
Chen: Don't pull the rope anymore. Liang: True feelings aren't about who has it tougher.
陈: 能舍才能得 梁: 泪水不能解幸福的渴
Chen: You can only gain by letting go. Liang: Tears cannot quench the thirst for happiness.
陈: 爱其实说穿了
Chen: Love, to be honest, is laid bare.
合: 不该你的 不怪谁招惹 只拖著 她的躯壳爱著 那又如何
Together: What's not meant to be yours, don't blame anyone for stirring it up, just dragging along, loving her hollow shell, and so what?
你说她又失踪 一整夜电话拨不通
You say she's gone missing again, the whole night, calls won't go through.
不敢睡怕噩梦 醒著又怕想到心痛
Afraid to sleep, fearing nightmares, awake yet scared to think of the heartache.
血滴在心中 多苦我能懂 绝不让一步 把自己逼疯
Blood drips in my heart, I understand the pain, never taking a step back, driving myself to madness.
你很想知道 谁盗走 她的梦
You really want to know who stole her dreams.
我们都会失控 有人抢 越是不放松
We all lose control, someone snatches, the more we hold on, the tighter it gets.
如果忘了初衷 最后争到手也没用
If you forget your original intention, in the end, fighting for it means nothing.
感觉自己像 面对个黑洞 多努力激动 回应都是空
I feel like I'm facing a black hole, no matter how hard I strive and stir, the response is all emptiness.
除非自己想通 挣脱这场捉弄
Unless you come to terms, break free from this jest.
你为谁拔河(女人之间计较特别苛)
Who are you tugging for? (Women’s rivalries are especially harsh.)
爱恨在拉扯(男人的错很快不记得)
Love and hate are in a tug-of-war. (Men forget their mistakes all too soon.)
感情怎么分割 怎么曲折 都等她选择
How can feelings be divided, and all the twists and turns, waiting for her choice?
你争的究竟是爱 还是种资格
What exactly are you fighting for? Love, or a kind of qualification?
你别再拔河(真心不是谁比谁坎坷)
Stop the tug-of-war. (True feelings aren't just who has it worse in life.)
能舍才能得(泪水不能解幸福的渴)
You must let go to gain. (Tears can’t quench the thirst for happiness.)
爱其实说穿了 不该你的 不怪谁招惹
Love, when stripped bare, shouldn't be yours, nor should anyone be blamed for the allure.
只拖著 她的躯壳爱著 那又如何
Dragging along, loving her mere shell, so what of that?
