你要我关窗 替你挡住阳光
You want me to close the window, to block the sunlight for you
现在的悲伤 不适合拥有温暖
This sadness now is not fit for holding warmth
早知道必须把他给的感情都归还
Had I known I had to return all the feelings he gave
当初的心就不该融化
That heart of mine should never have melted away
问我相信吗 你以为不会爱上他
Ask me if I believe, you think I wouldn't fall for him
幸福像神话 从来不能如愿以偿
Happiness is like a myth, never as it seems to be
谁知道你的心仿佛被带进了天堂
Who knew your heart seemed to be taken to paradise
又被放逐到原来地方
Only to be exiled back to where it once belonged
断了线索才发现自己太傻
Only after losing the clues did I see how foolish I was
竟然以为放的下
I actually thought I could let it go
猜他的心还会不会存有牵挂
Guess his heart still holds some concern.
还是把恩爱全都遗忘
Or has love all been forgotten?
断了线索才开始有的孤单
Only after the clues are cut do I feel this loneliness.
赢了所有的倔强
Having won over all my stubbornness.
再也不能拥有曾经属于你的心
I can no longer possess the heart that once belonged to you.
这条路走得好漫长
This road stretches on so long.
问我相信吗 你以为不会爱上他
Ask me if I believe, you think I wouldn't fall for him?
幸福像神话 从来不能如愿以偿
Happiness is like a myth, never comes true as we wish.
谁知道你的心仿佛被带进了天堂
Who knows your heart seems to be taken to heaven,
又被放逐到原来地方
Only to be exiled back to where it started.
断了线索才发现自己太傻
Only after cutting the clues did I realize how foolish I was
竟然以为放的下
I actually thought I could let go
猜他的心还会不会存有牵挂
I wonder if his heart still holds any attachments
还是把恩爱全都遗忘
Or if all the love has been completely forgotten
断了线索才开始有的孤单
Only after cutting the clues did I begin to feel this loneliness
赢了所有的倔强
Winning over all the stubbornness
再也不能拥有曾经属于你的心
Can no longer possess the heart that once belonged to you
这条路走得好漫长
This road feels endlessly long
问我相信吗 你始终深爱著他
Ask me if I believe, that you have always loved him deeply
幸福像神话 真的不能如愿以偿
Happiness is like a fairy tale, truly it cannot fulfill desires
早知道必须把他给的感情都归还
If I'd known I had to return all the feelings he gave me
何必在心底小心收藏
Why bother to keep them carefully hidden in my heart?
早知道必须把他给的感情都归还
If I'd known I had to return all the feelings he gave me
怎会相信 爱情真的有天堂
How could I believe that love truly has a paradise?
