我以前很乐观 尽管有些天真
I used to be so optimistic, though a bit naive.
我过去相信你 更相信我自己
In the past, I believed in you, and even more in myself.
时光飞逝 我们还在原地 没有改变
Time flies by, yet here we are, unchanged and still.
我念旧 我愧疚 但我必须要走
I hold onto memories, I feel guilty, but I must move on.
我不能再等待 互相依赖只是伤害
I can't wait any longer; depending on each other just brings pain.
时间不会等 我不能害怕
Time won't wait, I can't afford to be afraid.
我只能一直往前走
All I can do is keep moving forward.
我一直保护你 也爱护我自己
I've always protected you, and I've also loved myself.
时光无情 我们会分两地 各自改变
Time is merciless; we'll be apart, each changing in our own ways.
我冲动 我渴求 所以必须要走
I'm impulsive, I'm craving, so I have to go.
我不能再等待 没有承诺哪有未来
I can’t wait any longer, without a promise, where's the future?
有一片天空 画面太生动
There’s a sky, the scene is too vivid,
我只能一直往前走
I can only keep moving forward.
有时候我差点放手 因为感觉好痛
Sometimes I almost let go, because it hurts so much.
不管是否成功 一定要继续走
No matter if I succeed or not, I must keep going.
我不能再等待 互相依赖只是伤害
I can’t wait any longer, depending on each other only brings harm.
时间不会等 我不能害怕
Time won’t wait, I can’t be afraid.
我只能一直往前走
I can only keep moving forward.
我不能再等待 没有承诺哪有未来
I can’t wait any longer, without a promise, where's the future?
有一片天空 画面太生动
There’s a sky, the scene is too vivid.
我只能一直往前走 一直往前走
I can only keep moving forward, keep moving forward.
