你所谓的浪漫
The romance you speak of
我根本没有办法能感觉到
I simply can't feel it at all
没有人能让我尽情的拥抱
No one can let me embrace fully
说谎的眼神又怎么能够
How can a lying gaze
让我可以去依靠
Allow me to rely on it?
妳从不知道
You never knew
爱 还是不要说的好
It's better if we don't speak of love
免得往深渊里掉
To avoid falling into the abyss
又忘不了
Yet I can't forget
妳那看来
The way you look
毫不在乎的微笑
A smile that's utterly carefree
爱 还是不要说的好
Love, it's better left unspoken
妳的表情太少
Your expressions are too few
少到让我无法明了
So few that I can't comprehend
心中的伤
The pain within my heart
什么时候才好得了
When will it heal?
谁会知道
Who would know?
说谎的眼神又怎么能够
How could those lying eyes
让我可以去依靠
Ever make me feel secure?
妳从不知道
You never knew
爱 还是不要说的好
Love, it's better left unspoken,
免得往深渊里掉
To avoid falling into the abyss,
又忘不了
Yet I can’t forget,
妳那看来
Your seemingly,
毫不在乎的微笑
Indifferent smile.
爱 还是不要说的好
Love, it's better left unspoken,
妳的表情太少
Your expressions are too few,
少到让我无法明了
Too few for me to truly understand,
心中的伤
The pain within my heart,
什么时候才好得了
When will it ever heal?
谁会知道
Who would know
