如果那两个字没有颤抖 我不会发现我难受
If those two words didn’t tremble, I wouldn’t realize my pain.
怎么说出口 也不过是分手
How can I speak it out? It's just a goodbye.
如果对于明天没有要求 牵牵手就像旅游
If tomorrow holds no expectations, holding hands feels like travel.
成千上万个门口 总有一个人要先走
With thousands of doorways, someone always has to step ahead.
怀抱既然不能逗留 何不在离开的时候
Since we cannot linger in embrace, why not savor the moment before we part?
一边享受 一边泪流？
As we enjoy, tears still flow?
十年之前 我不认识你
Ten years ago, I didn’t know you.
你不属于我 我们还是一样
You don’t belong to me, yet we’re still the same.
陪在一个陌生人左右
Beside a stranger, I stay close.
走过渐渐熟悉的街头
Walking through the streets that slowly become familiar.
十年之后 我们是朋友
Ten years later, we are just friends
还可以问候 只是那种温柔
Still able to greet, but it's a different kind of warmth
再也找不到拥抱的理由
No more reasons to embrace
情人最后难免沦为朋友
In the end, lovers inevitably turn into friends
怀抱既然不能逗留 何不在离开的时候
Since we can't linger in each other's arms, why not, when we leave
一边享受 一边泪流？
Enjoy it while shedding tears?
十年之前 我不认识你
Ten years ago, I didn't know you
你不属于我 我们还是一样
You don't belong to me, yet we're still the same
陪在一个陌生人左右
By the side of a stranger
走过渐渐熟悉的街头
Walking through the streets that are slowly becoming familiar
十年之后 我们是朋友
Ten years later, we are friends
还可以问候 只是那种温柔
Still able to greet, but it's a different kind of warmth
再也找不到拥抱的理由
No longer can I find a reason to embrace
情人最后难免沦为朋友
In the end, lovers inevitably become friends
直到和你做了多年朋友 才明白我的眼泪
Only after being your friend for many years did I understand my tears
不是为你而流 也为别人而流
They don't flow just for you, but also for others
