失恋并不失败
Heartbreak is not a failure
泪水 闪开
Tears, step aside
我不需要 谁的怜爱
I don't need anyone's pity
爱情总会再来
Love will come again
别再 别再
Don't, don't
哭哭啼啼 自怨自艾
Crying and lamenting, wallowing in despair
已经太坏 不会更坏
Already too bad, it can't get worse
不能被过去的自己打败
Can't be defeated by the past me
想要被爱 就该是最爱
If you want to be loved, you must be the one who loves most
地球在转 世界在看
The earth is spinning, the world is watching
再多的解释都像是耍赖
No matter how much I explain, it just sounds like I'm making excuses,
苦再苦 我都吞下来
Suffering as it may, I'll swallow it down,
爱不爱都不简单
Loving or not, it's never easy,
勉强爱互相伤害
Forced love only brings us pain,
失去爱又怕孤单
Afraid of being alone, after losing love,
以前我不明白
I didn't understand before,
以后才正要展开
Only now am I ready to unfold,
自己的比赛
My own competition,
爱不爱都太为难
Loving or not, it's far too difficult,
爱没有那么短暂
Love isn't meant to be so fleeting.
舍不得也要离开
Reluctant as I may be, I must leave
放不下的无奈
The helplessness I can't let go
就让给别人去爱
Just let someone else love you
不需要摇摆
No need to sway
失恋并不失败
A heartbreak isn’t a failure
泪水 闪开
Tears, step aside
我不需要 谁的怜爱
I don't need anyone's pity
爱情总会再来
Love will always come again
别再 别再
Don't do it, don't do it
哭哭啼啼 自怨自艾
Crying and complaining, wallowing in self-pity
已经太坏 不会更坏
Already too bad, can’t get any worse
不能被过去的自己打败
Can't let my past self defeat me
想要被爱 就该是最爱
If you want to be loved, you must be the greatest love
地球在转 世界在看
The earth keeps spinning, the world is watching
再多的解释都像是耍赖
No matter how many explanations, it all feels like a cheat
苦再苦 我都吞下来
No matter how bitter, I'll swallow it down
爱不爱都不简单
Loving or not, it's never simple
勉强爱互相伤害
Forced love only brings pain
失去爱又怕孤单
Afraid of losing love and also fear of loneliness
以前我不明白
I didn't understand before
以后才正要展开
It's only just beginning to unfold
自己的比赛
My own competition
爱不爱都太为难
Loving or not, it's too hard
爱没有那么短暂
Love isn't that brief
舍不得也要离开
Even if it's hard to let go, I must depart
放不下的无奈
The helplessness of not being able to let go
就让给别人去爱
Just let someone else love
不需要摇摆
No need to waver
(不需要摇摆)
(No need to waver)
爱不爱都放开
Loving or not, just let it be
(爱不爱都放开)
Let go, whether we love or not
爱不爱
Do we love?
爱不爱
Do we love?
爱不爱都不简单
Loving or not, it's never simple
勉强爱互相伤害
Forcing love just brings us pain
失去爱又怕孤单
Losing love, yet fearing to be alone
以前我不明白
Back then, I didn't understand
以后才正要展开
Only now does it truly begin
自己的比赛
My own race to run
爱不爱都太为难
Loving or not, it's too much to bear
爱没有那么短暂
Love isn't that fleeting
舍不得也要离开 (Oh-oooh, woah-oooh)
Even if it hurts, I must leave (Oh-oooh, woah-oooh)
放不下的无奈
The helplessness I can't let go
就让给别人去爱 (别人去爱)
Let someone else take the love (let someone else take the love)
不需要摇摆
No need to sway
爱不爱都太为难
Whether we love or not, it's too difficult
爱没有那么短暂
Love isn't that fleeting
舍不得也要离开 (也要离开)
Even if it hurts, I must leave (I must leave)
放不下的无奈
The helplessness I can't let go
就让给别人去爱 (别人去爱)
Let someone else take the love (let someone else take the love)
不需要摇摆
