我们都曾经寂寞而给对方承诺
We have all been lonely and promised each other.
我们都因为折磨而厌倦了生活
We have all grown weary of life due to its torments.
只是这样的日子 同样的方式 还要多久
But how much longer will these days and this same way last?
我们改变了态度而接纳了对方
We changed our attitudes and embraced each other.
我们委屈了自己成全谁的梦想
We compromised ourselves to fulfill someone else's dreams.
只是这样的日子 还剩下多少 已不重要
But how much is left of these days, it's no longer important.
时常想起过去的温存 它让我在夜里不会冷
I often think of the warmth of the past, it keeps me warm at night.
你说一个人的美丽是认真 两个人能在一起是缘分
You said that a person's beauty is sincerity, and two together is fate.
早知道是这样 像梦一场 我才不会把爱都放在同一个地方
Had I known it would be like this, just a dream, I wouldn’t have placed all my love in one place.
我能原谅你的荒唐 荒唐的是我没有办法遗忘
I can forgive your absurdity, but the absurdity is that I can't forget.
早知道是这样 如梦一场 我又何必把泪都锁在自己的眼眶
If only I'd known, it's like a dream, why did I have to lock my tears in my own eyes?
让你去疯 让你去狂
Let you go wild, let you go crazy,
让你在没有我的地方坚强
Let you be strong in a place where I am not.
时常想起过去的温存 它让我在夜里不会冷
I often think of the warmth from the past, it keeps me warm through the night.
你说一个人的美丽是认真 两个人能在一起是缘分
You said a person's beauty is their sincerity, and two people together is fate.
早知道是这样 像梦一场 我才不会把爱都放在同一个地方
If only I'd known, it's like a dream, I wouldn't have put all my love in one place.
我能原谅你的荒唐 荒唐的是我没有办法遗忘
I can forgive your absurdity, the absurdity is that I can't forget.
早知道是这样 如梦一场 我又何必把泪都锁在自己的眼眶
If only I'd known, it's like a dream, why did I have to lock my tears in my own eyes?
让你去疯 让你去狂
Let you go wild, let you go crazy,
让你在没有我的地方坚强
Let you be strong in a place where I am not.
让我在没有你的地方疗伤
Let me heal my wounds in a place without you
