放弃
Give up
词: 袁惟仁 曲: 袁惟仁
Lyrics: Yuan Weirian Composed by: Yuan Weirian
我以为你知道我对你的承诺
I thought you knew my promise to you
是我给你的温柔
It's the tenderness I gave to you
把心放在自己的角落
Keeping my heart in a hidden corner
让你无话可说
Leaving you with nothing to say
你以为我知道你外表的冷漠
You think I know your cold exterior
掩饰着你的脆弱
Hiding your fragility inside
所有的愁藏在心里头
All the sorrow buried deep in my heart
让我不知所措
Leaving me at a loss for words
不能让你松开我的手
Can't let you slip from my grasp
不能让我盲目的独自摸索
Can't let me blindly search all alone
不要让我放开你的手
Don't let me release your hand
不要在爱情的线上只是交错
Don't just cross paths on love's thin line
我放弃爱情 却放不下你
I've given up on love, yet I can't let you go
该如何说明 我的心情
How do I explain what's in my heart?
我放弃爱情 却放不下你
I've given up on love, yet I can't let you go
活在你永远不懂的世界里
Living in a world you will never understand
你以为我知道你外表的冷漠
You think I don't see your cold facade
掩饰着你的脆弱
Hiding your fragility beneath
所有的愁藏在心里头
All my sorrows are hidden deep inside
让我不知所措
Leaving me in a daze, lost in the tide
不能让你松开我的手
I can't let you release my hand
不能让我盲目的独自摸索
Can't let me wander alone, blind and unmanned
不要让我放开你的手
Don't let me loosen my grip on you
不要在爱情的线上只是交错
Don't let our love just cross and skew
我放弃爱情 却放不下你
I give up on love, but can't let you go
该如何说明 我的心情
How can I explain what I'm feeling below?
我放弃爱情 却放不下你
I give up on love, yet can't set you free
活在你永远不懂的世界里
Living in a world you'll never see.
