  1. 假如

    If I can afford to make mistakes,

  2. 错过

    Then let all the chances slip away,

  3. 应该来得及悔过

    I should still have time to regret it,

  4. 假如一切

    If all secrets were left unsaid,

  5. 那一风波

    That little storm we faced,

  6. 一笑带过

    Could simply be brushed aside with a smile.

  7. 感情面前 什么自我

    In the face of love, what's with the self-righteous talk?

  8. 得过 才好

    Sometimes just getting by is enough to get through,

  9. 全都怪我

    It's all my fault,

  10. 不该沉默沉默

    Shouldn't have stayed silent when I should've spoken up.

  11. 勇敢软弱

    When I should be brave, I turn weak

  12. 如果不是

    If it weren't for me

  13. 误会自己洒脱 我们难过

    Misunderstanding myself, carefree, makes us sad

  14. 当初 现在 假如

    What if the you back then and the me now could start over

  15. 倘若那天

    If only that day

  16. 该说的话好好

    We could say what needed to be said

  17. 体谅

    And let go of the things we should understand

  18. 如果那天 不受情绪挑拨

    If that day I hadn't let emotions provoke me

  19. 你会怎么

    What would you have done

  20. 那么如果 可能如果

    So many 'ifs', perhaps if I

  21. 可惜如果 只剩下结果

    It's a pity there are no 'ifs', only the outcome remains.

  22. 如果早点了解 性的

    If I had understood earlier, the you who was so carefree.

  23. 或者一点 遇上成熟

    Or if I had met the mature version of myself a bit later.

  24. 不过

    But,

  25. 全都怪我

    It's all my fault.

  26. 不该沉默沉默

    I shouldn't have been silent when I needed to speak.

  27. 勇敢软弱

    I faltered when I should have been brave.

  28. 如果不是

    If it weren't for me,

  29. 误会自己洒脱 我们难过

    Misunderstanding my own ease, it made us sad.

  30. 当初 现在 假如

    But the you back then and the me now, if only we could start over.

  31. 倘若那天

    If that day

  32. 该说的话好好 体谅

    We spoke our truths and let go of what wasn't understood

  33. 如果那天

    If that day I

  34. 不受情绪挑拨 你会怎么

    Wasn't provoked by emotions, what would you do?

  35. 那么如果 可能如果

    So many 'ifs', maybe if I

  36. 可惜如果 没有

    But sadly there are no 'ifs', no you and me

  37. 怪我

    It's all my fault

  38. 不该沉默沉默 勇敢软弱

    I shouldn't have stayed silent when I should have spoken, I shouldn't have been weak when I should have been brave

  39. 如果不是 误会自己洒脱 我们难过

    If it weren't for me, misunderstanding myself so freely, making us sad

  40. 当初 现在 假如

    But the you from back then and the me of now, if we could start over

  41. 倘若那天

    If that day comes

  42. 该说的话好好 体谅

    We'd speak our minds clearly, letting go of stubbornness

  43. 如果那天 不受情绪挑拨

    If that day I wouldn’t be swayed by emotions

  44. 你会怎么

    What would you do?

  45. 那么如果 可能如果

    So many possibilities, what if I...

  46. 可惜如果 只剩下结果

    But sadly, there are no possibilities left, just the outcome

  47. 可惜如果

    But sadly, there are no possibilities
