我想我会一直孤单
I think I'll always be alone
这一辈子都这么孤单
In this lifetime, I will be this lonely
我想我会一直孤单
I think I'll always be alone
这样孤单一辈子
Living in this loneliness forever
天空越蔚蓝 越怕抬头看
The bluer the sky, the less I'm brave to look up
电影越圆满 就越觉得伤感
The more perfect the movie, the deeper the sadness I feel
有越多的时间 就越觉得不安
The more time there is, the more restless I become
因为我总是孤单 过着孤单的日子
Because I'm always alone, living a solitary life
喜欢的人不出现
The one I like never shows up
出现的人不喜欢
The ones who show up, I don't like
有的爱犹豫不决
Some loves are filled with doubt,
还在想他就离开
Still thinking of him as I walk away.
想过要将就一点
Thought of settling for a little,
却发现将就更难
But found that settling is even harder.
于是我学着乐观
So I've learned to be optimistic,
过着孤单的日子
Living through these lonely days.
当孤单已经变成一种习惯
When solitude has turned into a habit,
习惯到我已经不再去想该怎么办
A habit so deep, I no longer ponder what to do.
就算心烦意乱 就算没有人作伴
Even when my heart's in a whirl, even when no one's there with me,
自由和落寞之间怎么换算
How do I measure the distance between freedom and loneliness?
找不到答案 我没有答案
I can't find the answer, I have no answer.
当孤单已经变成一种习惯
When loneliness has become a habit.
习惯到我已经不再去想该怎么办
A habit to the point where I no longer think of what to do.
就算心烦意乱 就算没有人作伴
Even if my heart is in turmoil, even if there's no one by my side.
自由和落寞之间怎么换算
How do I calculate the exchange between freedom and solitude?
找不到答案 我没有答案
I can't find the answer, I have no answer.
天空已蔚蓝 我会抬头看
The sky is already blue, I will look up.
电影越圆满 就越珍惜伤感
The more perfect the movie, the more I cherish the sadness.
有越多的时间 就越珍惜不安
The more time I have, the more I cherish the unease.
因为我总会乐观 过着孤单的日子
Because I always remain optimistic while living these lonely days.
我想我会一直孤单
I think I will always be alone
