  1. 很想要求你会三更半夜陪著我

    I really want to ask you to keep me company in the dead of night,

  2. 然而我怕 我的声音你已听得太多

    But I'm afraid my voice has reached your ears too many times.

  3. 怎么可能要你每次开心快乐全为我

    How could I expect you to find happiness just for me every time?

  4. 还怪你 你跟知已也见得比我多

    Yet I blame you, you've seen my closest friends more than I have.

  5. 期待你的花会开 其实自己也都讨厌期待

    I hope your flowers will bloom, yet I actually hate the wait.

  6. 恐怕正式真实恋爱 痛恨明日也许分开

    I'm scared that true love will bring the pain of perhaps parting tomorrow.

  7. 这么不知所谓怎么爱

    How can one love so cluelessly?

  8. 为何还没有初吻便要怕失恋

    Why do I fear heartache before our first kiss?

  1. 约会末完便挂念

    After our date, I still can't stop thinking about it.

  2. 傻得我晚上过份期求明天

    So foolish, I overzealously await tomorrow at night.

  3. 以为你会在眼前

    Thought you’d be right in front of me

  4. 为何还没有吵架 便要与你开战

    Why, before we even argue, must we declare war?

  5. 每日面临你考验

    Every day facing your tests

  6. 头一次顾虑我没动人条件

    For the first time worrying I lack charming traits

  7. 怀疑全是我问题 没发现

    Doubting it’s all my fault, unaware

  8. 明知单恋惊险 但我还末脱险

    Knowing unrequited love is thrilling, yet I'm still in danger

  9. 如果初恋肤浅 怎么我会兴奋狂热

    If first love is shallow, why am I so excited and fervent?

  10. 但却又什么都怯

    Yet still, I tremble at everything

  11. 天天失眠 我怕消失气力缠著你

    Sleepless every night, fearing I’ll vanish while clinging to you

  12. 然而据说 爱得精彩别要贪生怕死

    Yet they say, in love’s brilliance, don’t be afraid of life or death

  13. 怎么可能爱你爱到将我自己捐给你

    How could I possibly love you so much that I give myself away to you?

  14. 还怕你会将感激变成对不起

    Still afraid that you'll turn gratitude into an apology.

  15. 为何还没有初吻便要怕失恋

    Why should I fear heartbreak before we've even had our first kiss?

  16. 约会末完便挂念

    The date isn't even over, yet I'm already concerned.

  17. 傻得我晚上过份期求明天

    Foolish me, waiting too long for tomorrow at night.

  18. 以为你会在眼前

    Thought you would be right in front of me.

  19. 为何还没有吵架 便要与你开战

    Why should I declare war when we haven't even argued?

  20. 每日面临你考验

    Every day facing your tests.

  21. 还担心我没气力去到终点

    Still worried I won't have the strength to reach the finish line.

  22. 还听讲过分了解没发展

    I've also heard that understanding too much leads to no development.

  23. 明知单恋惊险 但我还末脱险

    Knowing this unrequited love is perilous, yet I'm still not out of danger.

  24. 如果初恋肤浅 怎么我会兴奋狂热

    If first love is shallow, why am I excited and fervent?

  25. 但却又什么都怯

    But still, I tremble at everything.

  26. 明知单恋惊险 但我还末脱险

    Knowing this unrequited love is perilous, yet I'm still not out of danger.

  27. 如果初恋肤浅 怎么我会兴奋狂热

    If first love is shallow, why am I excited and fervent?

  28. 什么都想 什么都怯

    Wanting everything, yet fearing everything.
