  1. 你太苦 被你单恋很痛苦 前面包抄再后顾

    You're suffering too much, unrequited love brings pain, surrounded by trouble from every side.

  2. 拿着胶存布前来没病没患也要逼我敷

    Holding the fabric like a shield, even without illness, you force me to wear it.

  3. 若要相恋多痛苦 宁愿冰岛著泳裤

    If falling in love brings such pain, I'd rather swim in Iceland wearing shorts.

  4. 难做知心好友便大敌太可恶

    It's hard to be close friends when enemies are so detestable.

  5. 对不起 我都很想给你爱一天

    I'm sorry, I really want to shower you with love for a day.

  6. 但没有电 连手指尾都不想你牵

    But there's no spark, I don't even want you to hold my fingertips.

  7. 坐在对面 我当然早知道你想点

    Sitting opposite, of course, I already know what you want to order.

  8. 不可以点 所以随地反面

    But I can't order, so I respond with contradictions.

  1. 要我怕你 要我怕易到极

    You want me to fear you, you want me to fear it to the extreme.

  2. 要我爱你 我却无能为力

    You want me to love you, yet I'm utterly powerless.

  3. 苦 被你追得很痛苦 连自尊心也未顾

    Suffering, you've chased me to deep pain, neglecting even my pride.

  4. 谁抢答问题日问夜问我也不要苦

    Whoever rushes to answer questions night and day, I won't endure the torment.

  5. 被你苦恋很痛苦 凭什么逼我惠顾

    Being in your painful love is so hard, what makes you force me to reciprocate?

  6. 崇尚恋爱自由越近越避你也没有符

    Championing love's freedom, the closer I get, the more I avoid you without a charm.

  7. 我清楚 吃不到的花辨有几酸

    I clearly know, the flowers I can't have taste too bitter.

  8. 事实证实 穷追不舍彼此都气喘

    Facts show, relentlessly pursuing each other leaves us both breathless.

  9. 末遂你愿 也不必将失意当失恋

    In the end, if it's your wish, there's no need to treat disappointment as heartbreak.

  10. 声威有损 逼我游后花园

    Your reputation is damaged, forcing me to wander the garden of regrets.

  11. 要我怕你 我怕易到极

    If you want me to fear you, fear comes easily to me.

  12. 要我爱你 我却无能为力

    If you want me to love you, I feel utterly powerless.

  13. 苦 被你追得很痛苦 连自尊心也未顾

    It's painful, being pursued by you, even my self-respect is ignored.

  14. 谁抢答问题日问夜问我也不要苦

    Whoever answers the question, day and night, I still don't want to suffer.

  15. 被你苦恋很痛苦 凭什么逼我惠顾

    Loving you is so painful, what right do you have to force me to oblige?

  16. 崇尚恋爱自由越近越避你也没有符

    Championing love's freedom, the closer I get, the more I avoid you, there's no sign at all.

  17. 要我怕你 我怕易到极

    You want me to fear you? My fear is easy to reach.

  18. 要我爱你 我却无能为力

    You want me to love you? Yet I find myself powerless.

  19. 苦 被你追得很痛苦 连自尊心也未顾

    It's painful, being pursued by you, even my self-respect is ignored.

  20. 谁抢答问题日问夜问我也不要苦

    Whoever answers the question, day and night, I still don't want to suffer.

  21. 被你苦恋很痛苦 凭什么逼我惠顾

    Loving you is so painful, what right do you have to force me to oblige?

  22. 宁愿松一口气备受重视原来极辛苦

    I'd rather exhale and feel valued; it turns out it's extremely painful.

  23. 被你追得很痛苦 连自尊心也未顾

    Chased by you, it's so painful, not even my pride can endure.

  24. 谁抢答问题日问夜问我也不要苦

    Whoever rushes to answer, asking me day and night, I won't suffer in silence.

  25. 被你苦恋很痛苦 凭什么逼我惠顾

    Suffering from your love, it's so painful, why push me to comply?

  26. 崇尚恋爱自由越近越避你也没有符

    Championing freedom in love, the closer you come, the more I shy away, there's no talisman to save us.

  27. 日仆夜仆我也没有符

    Day and night serving, yet I still have no charm.
