以为能够看见阳光才想起你早已离开
Thought I could see the sunlight, only to remember you've long gone.
时间忽然全故障 心永远在漆黑的晚上
Time suddenly breaks down, my heart forever lost in the dark of night.
还没一起去的地方 还没实现过的梦想
Places we've yet to visit, dreams we've yet to fulfill.
只能暂时先遗忘
For now, I can only try to forget.
照片里你的脸庞 笑容停在我眼眶
In the photos, your face remains, your smile frozen in my eyes.
美好转眼变了样 像是底片见了光
Beauty changes in the blink of an eye, like film exposed to light.
变一片空白
It all turns to a blank.
不想更新你的近况 不想删除你的模样
I don’t want to know your updates, don’t want to erase your image.
假装有人取代你每天在我身旁
Pretending someone else is by my side every day.
不愿意被谁看穿 只剩我一个人的孤单
Unwilling to be seen through by anyone, just left with my loneliness.
若谁问起你来 我会说那又怎样
If someone asks about you, I'll just say, so what?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, whoa
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
想像和你吃晚餐 想像和你等天亮
Imagining having dinner with you, imagining waiting for dawn with you
故事就像标本一样 眼前是美丽的假象
The story is like a specimen, right in front of me is a beautiful illusion
却已经死亡
But it's already dead
自己编造你的近况 自己描绘你的模样
I create your current situation, I depict your image
假装还是一样你每天在我身旁
Pretending you're still the same, you’re by my side every day
不愿意被谁看穿 只剩我一个人的害怕
Unwilling to be seen through, left alone with my fear
若谁问起你来 我会说一如往常
If anyone asks about you, I'll say it's just the same as always
没人理解的武装 没人怀疑的坚强
An armor no one understands, a strength no one questions
Whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa
不想面对我的痴狂 不想正视我的荒唐
I don't want to face my madness, don't want to confront my absurdity
假装没受过伤 所有痛一个人承担
Pretending I haven't been hurt, bearing all the pain alone
不愿意自己揭穿 这是我对自己的惩罚
Unwilling to expose myself, this is my punishment to myself
不存在的情人就不会离开我身旁
A nonexistent lover will never leave my side
Yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, whoa
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
