甜甜蜜蜜受落你的真关心
Sweetly receiving your genuine care,
朋情或是爱意难分
Friendship or love, it's hard to tell apart.
不打算说假 不可以说真
Not planning to tell a lie, can’t speak the truth,
其实我 仍动心
Actually, my heart still flutters.
沉沉默默望著你跟她开心
Silently watching you and her with joy,
含糊地位叫我难堪
Ambiguously puts me in an awkward place.
不想听太假 不敢听太真
Don’t want to hear too many lies, dare not hear too much truth.
宁愿再 模糊地猜测眼神
I’d rather guess your gaze in the haze again.
原来寻觅爱 如河畔捞针
Turns out seeking love is like fishing for a needle by the riverside.
从无止境里追寻
Chasing in a never-ending search.
原来忘掉你 如为难自己
Turns out forgetting you is like torturing myself.
一种记挂心理
A kind of obsession in my mind.
长年累月渐渐我演得逼真
Over the years, I’ve slowly played my part convincingly.
从来未道半句原因
Never once did I explain the reason.
祝福你太假 喜欢你最真
Wishing you well feels so fake; liking you is the truest thing.
明白我 为难在不可告人
Understand me—my struggle is unspeakable.
原来寻觅爱 如河畔捞针
Turns out seeking love is like fishing for a needle by the riverbank.
从无止境里追寻
Endlessly chasing in this boundless pursuit.
原来忘掉你 如为难自己
Turns out forgetting you is like torturing myself.
一种记挂心理
A kind of obsession in my mind.
不想抛弃 只可以等
Don't want to let go, just waiting here
