你曾经是我的影子
You once were my shadow
我习惯了你当我的影子
I've grown used to you being my shadow
不管什么时候 我总是习惯回头
No matter the time, I always tend to look back
要寻找我的你的影子
To search for the shadow of you in me
你当腻了我的影子
You’ve grown tired of my shadow
我就开始变成你的影子
Then I started to become your shadow
不管什么时候 因我不习惯回头
No matter the time, since I’m not used to looking back
找不到我的你的影子
I can't find the shadow of you in me
有一天 这两个影子决定分手
One day, these two shadows decided to part ways
我们都哭了 可是我们的影子没有
We both cried, but our shadows remained untouched
带著自己原来的影子回家
Taking my original shadow back home
才真正知道什么叫做孤独寂寞
Only then do I truly understand what loneliness feels like
你当腻了我的影子
You grew tired of my shadow
我就开始变成你的影子
So I began to turn into your shadow
不管什么时候 因我不习惯回头
No matter when, I can't get used to looking back
找不到我的你的影子
Can't find my shadow in yours
有一天 这两个影子决定分手
One day, these two shadows decided to part ways
我们都哭了 可是我们的影子没有
We both cried, but our shadows did not
带著自己原来的影子回家
Taking my original shadow back home
才真正知道什么叫做孤独寂寞
Only then do I truly understand what loneliness feels like
每一晚抱著自己的影子入睡
Every night I fall asleep, holding my own shadow
我们再也牵不到的手 吻不到的唇
The hands we can no longer hold, the lips we can't kiss
我们再也到达不了的拥抱
The embrace we can never reach again
才知道可能还是做你的影子比较好
Only then did I realize, maybe being your shadow is better
我们再也到达不了的拥抱
The embrace we can never reach again
才知道可能 还是做你的影子比较好
Only then did I realize, maybe being your shadow is better
比较好
Better
