  1. 跑车开走 怎舍得将你当朋友

    The sports car drives away, how could I bear to call you a friend?

  2. 本想开口 开口之后无法抬头

    I meant to speak up, but after I opened my mouth, I couldn't lift my head.

  3. 天色很好 本应值得你伴我巡游

    The sky is so bright, you should be here beside me on this journey.

  4. 那种交流暧昧也曾有美丽时候

    That kind of ambiguous exchange once had its beautiful moments.

  5. 为何白白地让眼泪流 沦为肮脏铁锈

    Why let tears flow for nothing, turning into filthy rust?

  6. 想抱 但热恋得不到 知己也做不到

    I want to embrace, but in this romance, I can't; even a confidant feels out of reach.

  7. 想不到 若是被施舍拥抱之后谁想吐

    I never thought that after a borrowed embrace, one would wish to vomit.

  8. 想抱 但是珍惜的友好 陌生到逃难跌倒

    I want to embrace, but the cherished friendship feels so foreign, like fleeing and falling.

  1. 若你都警觉待我太好 但愿仍然慈悲上路

    If you’re too aware of how well you treat me, I hope you still walk with kindness.

  2. 若我的心事纯如白雪

    If my heart's burdens were as pure as snow.

  3. 可不可跟老朋友天真 抱抱

    Can I be naive with old friends, just for a hug?

  4. 从来受惯伤害 从头为你等待

    Always accustomed to hurt, I'm waiting for you from the very start.

  5. 别要完全没往来

    Don't let us drift apart completely.

  6. 柔情在我心内 同情在你手内

    Tenderness lies within my heart, sympathy rests in your hands.

  7. 用爱情来换友爱

    Exchanging love for friendship is all I ask.

  8. 天开始阴 假的幸福载著我回头

    As the sky darkens, false happiness carries me back.

  9. 难道就这样回不到我们最快乐时候

    Is it truly impossible to return to our happiest days?

  10. 无欲无求在闹市夜游 成为终生战友

    With no desires in the bustling night, we become lifelong comrades.

  11. 想抱 但热恋得不到 知己也做不到

    I want to hold you, but the passion is unreachable, even friendship is out of grasp.

  12. 想不到 若是被施舍拥抱之后谁想吐

    Who would have thought that after a borrowed embrace, feelings would overflow?

  13. 想抱 但是珍惜的友好 陌生到逃难跌倒

    Want to embrace, but kindness cherished, so foreign it makes me stumble and fall.

  14. 若你都警觉待我太好 但愿仍然慈悲上路

    If you’re too alert to my tenderness, I still hope you travel on with mercy.

  15. 若我的心事纯如白雪

    If my heart’s whispers are pure as white snow,

  16. 可不可跟老朋友天真 抱抱

    Can I innocently hug an old friend, perhaps?

  17. 从来受惯伤害 从头为你等待

    Always used to the hurt, I wait for you from the beginning.

  18. 别要完全没往来

    Let’s not completely lose touch,

  19. 遗忘受过伤害 做到相亲相爱

    Forgetting the pain we’ve endured, let’s achieve mutual love.

  20. 以一笑融化眼泪 也是爱

    With just a smile to melt away the tears, that too is love.
