拼图一片片失落 像枫叶的冷漠
Pieces of a puzzle lost one by one, like the cold indifference of maple leaves.
墙上的钟 默默数著寂寞
The clock on the wall silently counts the loneliness.
咖啡飘散过香味 剩苦涩陪著我
The aroma of coffee drifts away, leaving bitterness to accompany me.
想念的心 埋葬我在深夜的脆弱
A heart full of longing buries my weakness in the deep night.
无尽的苍穹 满天的星座
An endless expanse of sky, filled with constellations.
你的光亮一闪而过
Your light flickers past like a fleeting moment.
只想要记住这永恒的瞬间
All I want is to remember this eternal instant.
像流星的坠落 灿烂夺去了轮廓
Like the fall of a shooting star, dazzling in its loss of form.
这刹那过后 世界只是 回忆的沙漏
After this moment passes, the world becomes just an hourglass of memories.
像流星的坠落 绚丽地点亮了整个星空
Like the fall of a shooting star, brilliantly illuminating the entire night sky.
像你故事在我生命留下 不褪色的伤口
Like your story, a wound that never fades in my life
湖水守候著沉默 等待天边的月
The lake waits in silence, longing for the moon on the horizon
孤独的水面 却漆黑整夜
The lonely water's surface, yet dark through the night
夜雾凝结的泪光 被蒸发在角落
Tears crystallized in the night mist, evaporated in the corners
他无情地 遗忘我在追忆的漩涡
He mercilessly forgets me in the whirlpool of memories
无尽的苍穹 满天的星座
Endless skies, a universe full of constellations
你的光亮一闪而过
Your brilliance flickers and passes by
只想要记住这永恒的瞬间
Only wishing to remember this eternal moment
像流星的坠落 灿烂夺去了轮廓
Like a shooting star's fall, dazzling yet steals the outline
这刹那过后 世界只是 回忆的沙漏
After this instant, the world is just an hourglass of memories
像流星的坠落 绚丽地点亮了整个星空
Like a falling meteor, it brilliantly lights up the entire sky.
像你故事在我生命留下 不褪色的伤口
Like your story leaves an indelible mark on my life, a wound that doesn’t fade.
在黑夜的尽头 是你的捉弄 和无声的伤痛
At the end of the night, it’s your teasing and the silent pain.
燃烧过后 只剩静默
After the blaze, only silence remains.
Hey yeah yeah
像流星的坠落 灿烂夺去了轮廓
Like a falling meteor, its splendor steals away the outlines.
这刹那过后 世界只是 回忆的沙漏
After this moment, the world is just an hourglass of memories.
流星坠落 绚丽地点亮了整个星空
A meteor falls, brilliantly lighting up the entire sky.
像你故事在我生命留下 不褪色的伤口
Like your story leaves an indelible mark on my life, a wound that doesn’t fade.
