也许放弃才能靠近你
Maybe letting go is the way to get closer to you
不再见你 你才会把我记起
If we don't meet again, you'll actually remember me
时间累积 这盛夏的果实
As time accumulates, this summer's fruits ripen
回忆里寂寞的香气
In memories, there's a lonely fragrance
我要试著离开你 不要再想你
I'm trying to leave you behind, to stop thinking of you
虽然这并不是我本意
Although this isn't what I truly want
你曾说过会永远爱我
You once promised to love me forever
也许承诺不过因为没把握
Perhaps promises crumble because of uncertainty
别用沉默再去掩饰什么
Don't hide anything further with your silence
当结果是那么赤裸裸
When the outcome is so painfully bare
以为你会说什么 才会离开我
Thinking you would say something before leaving me,
你只是转过头 不看我
You just turned away, not looking at me.
不要刻意说 你还爱我
Don't force yourself to say you still love me.
当看尽潮起潮落
After witnessing the rise and fall of the tides,
只要你记得我
As long as you remember me.
你曾说过会永远爱我
You once said you would love me forever.
也许承诺不过证明没把握
Maybe promises are just proof of uncertainty.
不用难过 不用掩饰什么
There's no need to be sad, no need to hide anything.
当结果是那么赤裸裸
When the outcome is so painfully bare,
其实不必说什么 才能离开我
In fact, there’s no need to say anything to leave me.
起码那些经过属于我
At least those moments belong to me
也许放弃才能靠近你
Perhaps letting go is the way to get close to you
不再见你 你才会把我记起
Only when I no longer see you will you remember me
时间累积 这盛夏的果实
As time accumulates, this summer's fruit ripens
回忆里爱情的香气
The scent of love lingers in memories
我以为不露痕迹 思念却满溢
I thought I could hide my traces, yet longing overflows
或许这代表了我的心
Maybe this represents my heart
不要刻意说 你还爱我
Don't force the words, that you still love me
当看尽潮起潮落
When you witness the ebb and flow of tides
只要你记得我
As long as you remember me
如果你会梦见我
If you dream of me,
请你再抱紧我
Please hold me tight once more.
