  1. 假如把犯得起的错

    If I can afford to make mistakes,

  2. 能错的都错过

    Then let all the chances slip away,

  3. 应该还来得及去悔过

    I should still have time to regret it,

  4. 假如没把一切说破

    If all secrets were left unsaid,

  5. 那一场小风波

    That little storm we faced,

  6. 将一笑带过

    Could simply be brushed aside with a smile.

  7. 在感情面前 讲什么自我

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

  8. 要得过且过 才好过

    Sometimes just getting by is enough to get through,

  1. 全都怪我

    It's all my fault,

  2. 不该沉默时沉默

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

  3. 该勇敢时软弱

    When I should be brave, I turn weak

  4. 如果不是我

    If it weren't for me

  5. 误会自己洒脱 让我们难过

    Misunderstanding myself, carefree, makes us sad

  6. 可当初的你 和现在的我 假如重来过

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

  7. 倘若那天

    If only that day

  8. 把该说的话好好说

    We could say what needed to be said

  9. 该体谅的不执著

    And let go of the things we should understand

  10. 如果那天我 不受情绪挑拨

    If that day I hadn't let emotions provoke me

  11. 你会怎么做

    What would you have done

  12. 那么多如果 可能如果我

    So many 'ifs', perhaps if I

  13. 可惜没如果 只剩下结果

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

  14. 如果早点了解 那率性的你

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

  15. 或者晚一点 遇上成熟的我

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

  16. 不过

    But,

  17. 全都怪我

    It's all my fault.

  18. 不该沉默时沉默

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

  19. 该勇敢时软弱

    I faltered when I should have been brave.

  20. 如果不是我

    If it weren't for me,

  21. 误会自己洒脱 让我们难过

    Misunderstanding my own ease, it made us sad.

  22. 可当初的你 和现在的我 假如重来过

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

  23. 倘若那天

    If that day

  24. 把该说的话好好说 该体谅的不执著

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

  25. 如果那天我

    If that day I

  26. 不受情绪挑拨 你会怎么做

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

  27. 那么多如果 可能如果我

    So many 'ifs', maybe if I

  28. 可惜没如果 没有你和我

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

  29. 都怪我

    It's all my fault

  30. 不该沉默时沉默 该勇敢时软弱

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

  31. 如果不是我 误会自己洒脱 让我们难过

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

  32. 可当初的你 和现在的我 假如重来过

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

  33. 倘若那天

    If that day comes

  34. 把该说的话好好说 该体谅的不执著

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

  35. 如果那天我 不受情绪挑拨

    If that day I wouldn’t be swayed by emotions

  36. 你会怎么做

    What would you do?

  37. 那么多如果 可能如果我

    So many possibilities, what if I...

  38. 可惜没如果 只剩下结果

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

  39. 可惜没如果

    But sadly, there are no possibilities
