陪你游过微风 时间溜过瞳孔
With you, I wander through the breeze, as time slips by in your eyes.
情感流失浮沙的拥抱中
Feelings fade in the embrace of shifting sands.
谁对 谁错 谁改
Who’s right, who’s wrong, who’s changed?
并不等于我们仍旧相爱
Doesn’t mean that our love still remains.
自相识以来 用眼泪填海
Since we met, I've filled the sea with tears.
应该早要讲 离开
I should have just said it long ago, to leave.
从微笑投入流泪遇溺 都因一个人
From smiles to tears, drowning all because of one person.
何苦 难为身体发肤
Why suffer, tormenting body and soul?
从烦躁平静沉睡梦醒 都可一个人
From restlessness to calm, waking from dreams, I can do it alone.
何苦 需要 在乎
Why bother, needing to care?
微笑 还有 余温
A smile, and the warmth still lingers
未必等于眼神仍旧吸引
Doesn't necessarily mean your gaze is still captivating
记忆虽永恒 越美越残忍
Memories may be eternal, but the more beautiful, the more cruel
怎么可再三 重温
How can I revisit this time and again?
从微笑投入流泪遇溺 都因一个人
From smiles to tears, drowning in emotions, all because of one person
何苦 难为身体发肤
Why suffer? It's hard on the body and soul
从烦躁平静沉睡梦醒 都可一个人
From restlessness to calm, to dreams and waking, I can do it all alone
何苦 需要 在乎
Why suffer? Needing to care
从难过甜蜜无论甚么 都因一个人
From sadness to sweetness, no matter what, it's all because of one person
何苦 难为身体发肤
Why suffer? It's hard on the body and soul
从埋怨期待原谅自欺 都可一个人
From complaints to hopes, to self-deceit, all can be faced alone.
何苦 需要 在乎
Why suffer, needing to care?
何苦 逼你 在乎
Why suffer, forcing you to care?
