反正也经过
Anyway, it's all been through
反正没人再罗嗦
After all, no one is complaining anymore
选个人多的场合
Choosing a place bustling with people
换上一件从没穿过的夹克
Putting on a jacket I've never worn before
喝太多
Drinking too much
是知道稍后会难过
Knowing I'll feel sad later on
路人怎么这样看我
Why do passersby look at me like that?
又不是都没有过
It's not like I haven't been there before
可能我有病
Maybe there's something wrong with me
本来就不该担心
I shouldn't have worried in the first place
搞不清什么关系
Can't figure out what kind of relationship this is
有时候像知己有时像亲戚
Sometimes like a confidant, sometimes like a relative
我不信别人说这才是感情
I don't believe what others say this is love
要么刻骨要么铭心
Either profound or unforgettable
这方面我不算太聪明
In this aspect, I'm not too clever
爱情的优点
The virtues of love
是我的缺陷
Are my flaws
没做好准备
Not ready for it at all
全都被浪费
All of it wasted away
伤的再直接
Wounds that are so direct
我也可以背
I can play along too,
用了好几年
It's been a few good years,
换一两天伤悲
Trading a day or two of sorrow,
太迷恋还不如道别
Too obsessed, might as well say goodbye,
说话的口吻故意留一点陌生
The way we speak, leaving a hint of distance,
像是旧时的情人
Like former lovers from times long past,
这种方式太笨难掌握分寸
This way is too clumsy, hard to find the balance,
看他们终成眷属都很感人
Seeing them become a couple is quite touching,
我们还在营造气氛
We're still creating the atmosphere,
还在争论几年前的梗
Still debating jokes from a few years ago.
爱情的优点
The merits of love
是我的缺陷
Are my flaws
没做好准备
Not well prepared
全都被浪费
All wasted away
伤的再直接
As direct as the pain is
我也可以背
I can bear it too
用了好几年
Used for many years
换一两天伤悲
Trading a day or two of sorrow
太迷恋还不如道别
Better to part than to be obsessed
爱情的优点
The merits of love
是我的缺陷
It's my flaw
没做好准备
I wasn't fully ready
全都被浪费
All of it has been wasted
伤的再直接
The hurt cuts so deep
我也可以背
I can bear it too
用了好几年
It's been a few years now
换一两天伤悲
Trading just a day or two of sorrow
太迷恋还不如道别
Better to part than to be so infatuated
