像我这样的情人
A lover like me,
为你死去活来 已经不是我的责任 为你流过的泪 请你转交别人
Dying for you has long ceased to be my duty; the tears I've shed for you, please pass them on to another.
尝过喜怒哀乐 所以对你不忘感恩 分手已经完成 我已无所不能
Having tasted joy and sorrow, I hold gratitude for you; the breakup is done, and I am now untouchable.
于是我想问 你外面的传闻 是假还是真 能不能写成剧本
So I want to ask, are the rumors outside about you true or false? Can they be turned into a script?
于是我想问 你爱过的女人 算不算单纯 你是否对她们很认真
So I want to ask, do the women you've loved count as pure? Were you serious with them?
我知道这样问你太残忍 你有没有爱过你爱的人
I know it's cruel to ask you this, but did you ever love the one you truly cared for?
你应该相信这只是我 无关痛痒的一个疑问
You should believe this is just me, an inquiry that bears no weight on your heart.
我知道这样对我也残忍 你有没有爱过像我的人
I know this is also cruel to me, but did you ever love someone like me?
你听一听我这种口吻 像不像出自一个(旧)情人 像我这样的情人
Listen to my tone; doesn't it sound like that of an (old) lover? A lover like me.
