离开你 我像一个逃兵 无处可去 也无路可退
Leaving you, I feel like a deserter, nowhere to go, no path to retreat to.
脆弱的泪 总在提醒自己 失败的滋味 让自己好累
Weak tears constantly remind me of the bitter taste of failure, making me feel so tired.
分手原来是那么简单 一句话将所有都改变
Breaking up turns out to be so simple, just a few words change everything.
我的明天 该怎么来安排 我是不是应该 把心藏起来
How should I plan for my tomorrow? Should I hide away my heart?
过去的一点一滴 你也许早已忘记
The bits and pieces of the past, you may have long forgotten.
可是每次我想起了你 还是哭了（哭了 哭了）
But every time I think of you, I still cry (crying, crying).
爱要有你才完美 我却无力再挽回
Love needs you to be perfect, yet I feel powerless to turn it back.
长长的夜独自去面对 我不想听见你爱上了谁
Facing the long night alone, I don’t want to hear who you’ve fallen for.
爱只剩下一团灰 曾经燃烧得很美
Love is now nothing but a pile of ashes, once burned so beautifully.
今生今世有过这一回 我不会再让自己心碎
In this life, having gone through this once, I won’t let my heart break again.
