原来爱那么难
Turns out love is so hard
你想要我温柔 你却想要放纵
You want my tenderness, yet crave to be wild
你要我的坚贞 又怕我要太多
You ask for my devotion, but fear I ask for too much
感谢上天安排 你的爱太难猜
Thanks to the heavens for arranging this, your love's so hard to decipher
这样的相处 我不敢想未来
In this kind of interaction, I dare not think of the future
愈爱却愈孤单 甚至已不知
The more I love, the more isolated I feel, even lost at times
如何去对待 我陷入混乱 你还是看来无伤无碍
How to deal with this chaos I've fallen into? You still seem unharmed, unbothered
原来爱那么难 多想从此把情丝斩断
Turns out love is so hard, how I wish to cut these ties of emotion
才知爱那么烦 用一生也理不完
Only to realize love is such a nuisance, a lifetime wouldn't be enough to untangle it
如果命运能转 但愿你替我能感同身受一番
If fate could turn, I wish you'd understand my feelings just once
你将会明白原来爱那么难
You will come to understand that love is truly hard.
你想要我温柔 你却想要放纵
You want me to be gentle, yet you desire freedom.
你要我的坚贞 又怕我要太多
You seek my loyalty, but fear I might ask for too much.
感谢上天安排 你的爱太难猜
Thank the heavens for the arrangement, your love is so hard to decipher.
这样的相处 我不敢想未来
In this way of getting along, I dare not think of the future.
愈爱却愈孤单 甚至已不知
The more I love, the lonelier I feel, I don't even know how.
如何去对待 我陷入混乱 你还是看来无伤无碍
How to deal with this chaos I've fallen into, while you appear unharmed.
原来爱那么难 多想从此把情丝斩断
Turns out love is that difficult, how I wish to sever these emotional ties.
才知爱那么烦 用一生也理不完
Only then did I realize love is such a hassle, a lifetime wouldn't be enough to sort it out.
如果命运能转 但愿你替我能感同身受一番
If fate could turn, I hope you could feel my pain just once.
你将会明白 原来爱那么难
You'll come to understand that love is truly tough.
多想从此把情丝斩断
Oh, how I wish to sever these emotional ties once and for all.
才知爱那么烦 用一生也理不完
Only then will I realize love is such a hassle, impossible to resolve in a lifetime.
如果命运能转 但愿你替我能感同身受一番
If fate could turn, I hope for you to feel what I feel just this once.
