我溺在一片眼泪海 需要你你却不在
I'm drowning in a sea of tears, needing you, yet you're not here
不在乎我和我那湿得沉重的裙䙓
Not caring about me and my heavy, damp skirt
是责任把爱活埋 让人忘了怎相爱
It's responsibility that buries love alive, making us forget how to love
相爱的慢慢不想爱
In love, gradually losing the desire to love
彷佛我们的爱 已来到 冰河时代
As if our love has arrived at the Ice Age
冰雪慢慢覆盖 积成了 一片苍白
Snow slowly covers, forming a pallid expanse
从前我们坚定炙热的爱 从何开始摇摆
Once our steadfast and fervent love, where did it start to sway?
被你冰封的爱 还有没有 后来
The love you've frozen, is there still a later?
洒脱也只是在人前 洒脱也把自己欺骗
Being carefree is just for show, it deceives even myself
欺骗那被击碎的自己并没有那么可怜
Deceiving that shattered self isn’t that pitiful
是骄傲把爱活埋 才装作伤痕不存在
Pride buried our love alive, pretending scars don't exist,
存在心底的对白 一句说不出来
The dialogue deep in my heart, a line I can't express,
彷佛我们的爱 已来到 冰河时代
It feels like our love has entered the ice age,
冰雪慢慢覆盖 积成了 一片苍白
Snow gradually covers, piling up to a pallid white,
从前我们坚定炙热的爱 从何开始摇摆
Our once steadfast and passionate love, when did it start to sway?
被你冰封的爱 还有没有 后来 后来
The love you encased in ice, does it still have a later, a later?
相爱的人从何时开始互相伤害
When did lovers begin to hurt each other?
靠近的人为什么开始互相推开
Why do those who draw near start to push away?
从无话不说 到此刻无言以待
From having nothing to hide, to this moment of silence,
我们从忘我慢慢开始忘了爱
We slowly began to forget love, lost in ourselves.
相爱的我们从何开始互相伤害
Where did our love begin to hurt each other?
靠近的我们为何开始互相推开
Why do we, so close, start to push each other away?
从无话不说 到此刻无言以待
From having endless things to say to now waiting in silence.
无畏的你我从何开始不敢爱
Fearless as we were, when did we start to shy away from love?
彷佛我们的爱 已来到 冰河时代
It seems our love has entered the Ice Age.
冰雪慢慢覆盖 积成了 一片苍白
Snow and ice slowly cover, forming a pallid white layer.
从前我们坚定炙热的爱 从何开始摇摆
When did our once firm and burning love start to waver?
被你冰封的爱 还有没有 后来
Is there still a future for the love you've frozen?
