数着时间我陷入一个深渊
Counting the time, I fall into an abyss,
那容易让人变得胆怯
One that easily makes people timid.
灵魂锁在你的心间
My soul is locked in your heart,
我不能向前也不能后退
I can't move forward nor retreat,
既然爱了你
Since I fell in love with you,
再苦也只有自己背
No matter how bitter, I bear it alone.
你怎么能挥霍自己的感觉
How can you squander your own feelings?
给每个朋友一点安慰
Give every friend a little comfort,
也许是天不肯成全
Perhaps it's the heavens refusing to fulfill,
你终究在别人的身边
In the end, you're beside someone else.
我必需承认
I must admit,
被爱在某些时候是一种负担
Being loved can sometimes feel like a burden.
一辈子东藏西藏爱你的那种感觉
A lifetime of hiding and seeking love for you,
却藏不住心中的伤痕
Yet I can't conceal the scars within my heart.
为爱受过的苦 心甘情愿
The pain endured for love, I accept willingly.
爱过你是我一生中最奢侈的感觉
Loving you is the most luxurious feeling of my life.
就算我早以伤痕累累
Even though I'm already battered and bruised,
情愿一个人 让忧伤淹没了时间
I’d rather be alone, letting sadness drown the time.
你怎么能挥霍自己的感觉
How can you squander your own feelings?
给每个朋友一点安慰
Give a little comfort to every friend.
也许是天不肯成全
Perhaps it's heaven that refuses to grant our wish
你终究在别人的身边
In the end, you're beside someone else
我必需承认
I must confess
被爱在某些时候是一种负担
Being loved can sometimes feel like a burden
一辈子东藏西藏爱你的那种感觉
A lifetime of hiding my love for you
却藏不住心中的伤痕
Yet I can't conceal the scars in my heart
为爱受过的苦 心甘情愿
Willingly endured the pain for love
爱过你是我一生中最奢侈的感觉
Loving you was the most extravagant feeling in my life
就算我早以伤痕累累
Even if I'm already battered and bruised
情愿一个人 让忧伤淹没了时间
I'd rather be alone, letting sorrow drown out time
一辈子东藏西藏爱你的那种感觉
A lifetime of loving you, hidden in the east and the west,
却藏不住心中的伤痕
Yet I can't conceal the scars within my heart.
为爱受过的苦 心甘情愿
Willingly I endured the pain for love,
爱过你是我一生中最奢侈的感觉
Loving you is the most extravagant feeling of my life.
就算我早以伤痕累累
Even if I am already covered in wounds,
情愿一个人 让忧伤淹没了时间
I would rather be alone, letting sorrow drown time.
