看见你的背影坐在角落 我差点想走
Seeing your silhouette sitting in the corner, I almost wanted to leave.
人多的时候你依然显眼 神情失落
In a crowd, you still stand out, but your expression is forlorn.
伤口愈合了已经很久 痛楚还是有
The wound has healed for a long time, yet the pain lingers still.
一个人喝咖啡特别浓 一口接一口
Drinking coffee alone, it's especially strong, sip after sip.
If you knew 疼你的心没有停过
If you knew, my heart still aches for you without pause.
反而 blue
Instead, it's blue.
If you knew 我渴望你回来被照顾
If you knew, I longed for you to return and care for me.
If you knew 那时候善良的坚持是错误
If you knew, back then, my insistence on kindness was a mistake.
你的泪又忍不住
Your tears can’t be held back again.
喔 你不懂 这样比较幸福
Oh, you don’t understand; this way feels more blissful.
伤口愈合了已经很久 痛楚还是有
The wound has healed a long time now, but the pain still lingers.
一个人喝咖啡特别浓 一口接一口
Drinking coffee alone, it's especially strong, sip after sip.
If you knew 疼你的心没有停过
If you knew, my aching heart has never stopped.
反而 blue
Instead, it feels blue.
If you knew 我渴望你回来被照顾
If you knew, I long to have you back, to be cared for.
If you knew 那时候善良的坚持 喔是错误
If you knew, my kind persistence back then, oh, was a mistake.
你的泪又忍不住
Your tears can’t help but fall again.
喔 你不懂 这样比较幸福 喔
Oh, you don't understand, this way feels happier, oh.
If you knew 疼你的心没有停过
If you knew, my aching heart has never stopped.
反而 blue
Instead, it feels blue.
If you knew 我渴望你回来被照顾
If you knew I long for you to come back and care for me
Ohhhh
Ohhhh
If you knew ohhh
If you knew ohhh
If you knew
If you knew
