这一刻突然觉得好熟悉
In this moment, I suddenly feel so familiar
像昨天今天同时在放映
Like yesterday and today are playing at once
我这句语气原来好像你
The tone of my voice sounds just like yours
不就是我们爱过的证据
Isn't it the proof of the love we once shared?
差一点骗了自己骗了你
Almost tricked myself, deceiving you too
爱与被爱不一定成正比
Love and being loved aren't always equal
我知道被疼是一种运气
I know being cherished is a kind of luck
但我无法完全交出自己
But I can't fully give myself away
努力为你改变却变不了预留的伏线
Trying hard to change for you, yet can't alter the hidden clues
以为在你身边那也算永远
Thought being by your side counted as forever
仿佛还是昨天可是昨天已非常遥远
It seems like just yesterday, but yesterday feels so far away now.
但闭上双眼我还看得见
Yet when I close my eyes, I can still see it all.
可惜不是你陪我到最后
Unfortunately, you weren't there with me till the end.
曾一起走却走失那路口
Once we walked together, but lost our way at that intersection.
感谢那是你牵过我的手
Thank you for holding my hand at that time.
还能感受那温柔
I can still feel that tenderness.
那一段我们曾心贴著心
In that moment, our hearts were closely connected.
我想我更有权利关心你
I believe I have the right to care for you more.
可能你已走进别人风景
Perhaps you've stepped into someone else's scenery.
多希望也有星光的投影
How I wish there was also a reflection of starlight.
努力为你改变却变不了预留的伏线
Working hard to change for you but can't escape the hidden lines.
以为在你身边那也算永远
Thought being by your side could count as forever.
仿佛还是昨天可是昨天已非常遥远
It feels like just yesterday, but yesterday is so very far away.
但闭上双眼我还看得见
Yet when I close my eyes, I can still see it all.
可惜不是你陪我到最后
Sadly, it wasn't you who stayed with me till the end.
曾一起走却走失那路口
We once walked together, but lost our way at that intersection.
感谢那是你牵过我的手
Thank you for holding my hand back then.
还能感受那温柔
I can still feel that tenderness.
可惜不是你陪我到最后
Sadly, it wasn't you who stayed with me till the end.
曾一起走却走失那路口
We once walked together, but lost our way at that intersection.
感谢那是你牵过我的手
Thank you for holding my hand once more,
还能感受那温柔
I can still feel that gentle touch.
感谢那是你牵过我的手
Thank you for holding my hand once more,
还能温暖我胸口
It still warms my heart so much.
