  1. 不敢噩梦 醒著想到心痛

    Afraid to sleep, scared of nightmares; awake, yet haunted by heartache.

  2. 血滴心中 我能

    Blood drips in my heart; how bitter it is, I understand.

  3. 绝不一步 自己

    I won't take a step back; driving myself to madness.

  4. 很想知道 盗走 她的

    You really want to know who stole her dreams.

  5. : 我们都会失控 有人 越是放松

    We all lose control; someone grabs, yet doesn’t let go.

  6. 如果忘了初衷 最后也没

    If you forget your original intent, fighting to hold on is pointless.

  7. 感觉自己 面对黑洞

    Feeling like I'm facing a black hole.

  8. 努力激动 回应都是

    No matter how hard I try to stir things up, responses are empty.

  9. 除非自己想通 挣脱捉弄

    Unless I come to terms with this, breaking free from this teasing.

  10. : 拔河 : 女人之间计较特别

    For whom are you tugging at? Between women, the calculations can be particularly harsh.

  11. : 爱恨拉扯 : 男人很快记得

    Chen: Love and hate in a tug-of-war, Liang: A man's mistakes are quickly forgotten

  12. : 感情怎么分割

    Chen: How do you divide feelings?

  13. : 怎么曲折 选择 究竟是 还是资格

    Together: No matter how twisted it gets, we wait for her choice; are you fighting for love, or just for status?

  14. : 别再拔河 : 真心不是坎坷

    Liang: Don't pull against each other; Chen: True hearts don't measure struggles against each other.

  15. : 才能 : 泪水不能幸福

    Liang: You must let go to gain; Chen: Tears can't quench the thirst for happiness.

  16. : 其实穿

    Liang: To be honest about love.

  17. : 不该你的 招惹 拖著 她的躯壳 如何

    Together: What's not yours shouldn't be blamed on anyone; it's merely dragging her shell, loving her—so what?

  18. : 我们都会失控 有人 越是放松

    Chen: We'll all lose control; someone grabs on tighter, never letting go.

  19. 如果忘了初衷 最后也没

    If you've forgotten the original intention, in the end, what's the point of winning?

  20. : 感觉自己 面对黑洞努力激动

    Liang: I feel like I'm facing a black hole, no matter how hard I strive, it's overwhelming.

  21. 回应都是除非自己想通 挣脱捉弄

    Responses are all empty unless you find your own clarity, breaking free from this game of tricks.

  22. : 拔河 : 女人之间计较特别

    Chen: Who are you pulling the rope for? Liang: Women weigh their concerns especially harshly.

  23. : 爱恨拉扯 : 男人很快记得

    Chen: Love and hate are in a tug-of-war. Liang: Men's mistakes are quickly forgotten.

  24. : 感情怎么分割

    Chen: How do we divide these feelings?

  25. : 怎么曲折 选择 究竟是 还是资格

    Together: No matter how twisted, we're just waiting for her choice. Are you fighting for love or for some kind of status?

  26. : 别再拔河 : 真心不是坎坷

    Liang: Don't pull the rope anymore. Chen: True feelings aren't about who has it tougher.

  27. : 才能 : 泪水不能幸福

    Liang: To gain, you must be willing to let go. Chen: Tears won't quench the thirst for happiness.

  28. : 其实穿

    Liang: Love, if you strip it bare,

  29. : 不该你的 招惹 拖著 她的躯壳 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?

  30. : 别再拔河 : 真心不是坎坷

    Chen: Don't pull the rope anymore. Liang: True feelings aren't about who has it tougher.

  31. : 才能 : 泪水不能幸福

    Chen: You can only gain by letting go. Liang: Tears cannot quench the thirst for happiness.

  32. : 其实穿

    Chen: Love, to be honest, is laid bare.

  33. : 不该你的 招惹 拖著 她的躯壳 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?

  34. 失踪 整夜电话不通

    You say she's gone missing again, the whole night, calls won't go through.

  35. 不敢噩梦 醒著想到心痛

    Afraid to sleep, fearing nightmares, awake yet scared to think of the heartache.

  36. 血滴心中 我能 绝不一步 自己

    Blood drips in my heart, I understand the pain, never taking a step back, driving myself to madness.

  37. 很想知道 盗走 她的

    You really want to know who stole her dreams.

  38. 我们都会失控 有人 越是放松

    We all lose control, someone snatches, the more we hold on, the tighter it gets.

  39. 如果忘了初衷 最后也没

    If you forget your original intention, in the end, fighting for it means nothing.

  40. 感觉自己 面对黑洞 努力激动 回应都是

    I feel like I'm facing a black hole, no matter how hard I strive and stir, the response is all emptiness.

  41. 除非自己想通 挣脱捉弄

    Unless you come to terms, break free from this jest.

  42. 拔河(女人之间计较特别)

    Who are you tugging for? (Women’s rivalries are especially harsh.)

  43. 爱恨拉扯(男人很快记得)

    Love and hate are in a tug-of-war. (Men forget their mistakes all too soon.)

  44. 感情怎么分割 怎么曲折 选择

    How can feelings be divided, and all the twists and turns, waiting for her choice?

  45. 究竟是 还是资格

    What exactly are you fighting for? Love, or a kind of qualification?

  46. 别再拔河(真心不是坎坷)

    Stop the tug-of-war. (True feelings aren't just who has it worse in life.)

  47. 才能(泪水不能幸福)

    You must let go to gain. (Tears can’t quench the thirst for happiness.)

  48. 其实穿 不该你的 招惹

    Love, when stripped bare, shouldn't be yours, nor should anyone be blamed for the allure.

  49. 拖著 她的躯壳 如何

    Dragging along, loving her mere shell, so what of that?
