怎么能忘? 时间多长?
How can I forget? How long will time last?
你快乐吗? 想代替你回答
Are you happy? I wish I could speak for you.
你知道吗? 走了好远
Do you know? I've come a long way.
我才能去面对这份牵挂 沉默伤悲
Only then can I face this longing, silent and sorrowful.
你要的不是我 心碎的失去轮廓
What you wanted wasn't me, just the silhouette of a shattered heart.
曾经给你的感动只是情绪的波动
The feelings I once gave you were just fleeting emotions.
能给的不是我 放任你沉溺自由
What I can give isn't me; I let you drown in your freedom.
掩饰不了我的笨拙 就连说话都会颤抖
I can't hide my clumsiness; even my words tremble.
我被遗忘在你遗忘的角落
I’m forgotten in the corner you left behind.
怎么能忘? 时间多长?
How can I forget? How long will time last?
你快乐吗? 想代替你回答
Are you happy? I want to answer for you.
你知道吗? 走了好远
Do you know? We've come a long way.
我才能去面对这份牵挂 沉默伤悲
Only then can I face this longing, silence and sorrow.
你要的不是我 心碎的失去轮廓
What you wanted wasn't me, a shattered silhouette of loss.
曾经给你的感动只是情绪的波动
The feelings I once gave you were just emotional waves.
能给的不是我 放任你沉溺自由
What I can offer isn't me, letting you drown in freedom.
掩饰不了我的笨拙 就连说话都会颤抖
I can't hide my clumsiness, even words can make me tremble.
我被遗忘在你遗忘的角落
I’m forgotten in the corner you’ve overlooked.
你要的不是我 心碎的失去轮廓
What you wanted wasn't me, a shattered silhouette of loss.
曾经给你的感动只是情绪的波动
The feelings I once gave you were just emotional waves.
能给的不是我 放任你沉溺自由
What I can give isn't enough, I let you drown in freedom,
掩饰不了我的笨拙 就连说话都会颤抖
I can't hide my clumsiness, even my voice starts to shake,
我被遗忘在你遗忘的角落
I've been forgotten in the corner you left behind,
我被遗忘在你遗忘的角落
I've been forgotten in the corner you left behind.
