客厅里 那相片
In the living room, that photo
何时挂回了左边
When did it hang back on the left?
你没带走的衬衫
The shirt you didn't take away
被烫过几遍
Has been pressed a few times
你一定 回来过
You must have come back
潜进这公寓里面
Sneaking into this apartment
要不然 你的指纹
Otherwise, how could your fingerprints
怎会布满杯沿
Be all over the cup's rim?
谁为那鱼缸换了水
Who changed the water in the fishbowl?
为那台灯 擦了灰
Who dusted off that table lamp?
到底谁 这样鬼祟
Who on earth is lurking like this?
照料这一切
Taking care of it all
你明明就坐在对面
You're clearly sitting right across from me
你近得像迫在眉睫
So close it feels like a pressing matter
原来是我在无事生非
Turns out it's just me making a fuss over nothing
分不清真实的时间
Can't tell the real time apart
拆不掉那些画面
Can't dismantle those images
你一走 我出现幻觉
When you leave, illusions take their place
我戴上钢盔 在防备
I put on a helmet, on guard
感情留下的炮灰
The leftover shrapnel of emotions
无孔不入的回忆却四处繁衍
Memories without a hole infiltrate, spreading everywhere,
你明明说下次再会
You clearly said we'd meet again next time.
我明明听见你汗水
I clearly heard your sweat,
谁说是我在 捏造是非
Who said I'm the one fabricating the lies?
只记得幸福曾拜会
I only remember that happiness once visited,
忘了忘记那滋味
Forgotten how to forget that taste,
那是我 仅有的抚慰
That is my only comfort,
墙壁上 那钟摆
On the wall, that pendulum,
依然滞留在那天
Still lingers in that day,
旧回忆 一刀未剪
Old memories untouched by a knife.
轮回著上演
Replaying the cycle
