一步 一步 一步
Step by step, step by step, step by step
我们从未真正停下脚步
We've never truly stopped in our tracks
却都要对方为我们留步
Yet we both need the other to halt for us
仿佛牺牲才算是付出
As if sacrifice is the only way to give
一幕 一幕 一幕
Scene by scene, scene by scene, scene by scene
我们懂了听情歌为何哭
We've learned why we cry to love songs
我们懂了爱情不是全部
We've learned that love isn't everything
付出也只是一种艺术
Giving is just a form of art
当初爱情不是出路就是末路
Back then, love was either a way or a dead end
回头才发现当初那只是个转角处
Only in hindsight do we see it was just a corner
我知道你是爱我的
I know that you love me
只是当初我们不巧合
It’s just that we weren’t meant to be back then
伤人的话都收不住
Words that hurt just wouldn't be held back
怎么就那么白痴呢
Why was I so foolish, oh?
我知道我是爱你的
I know that I love you
只是当初我不懂得
It’s just that I didn’t understand back then
恨比爱还简单多了
Hate is so much easier than love
才知道当初那不是恨
Only then did I realize it wasn't hate after all
一幕 一幕 一幕
Scene by scene, scene by scene, scene by scene
我们懂了听情歌为何哭
We understood why we cry listening to love songs
我们懂了爱情不是全部
We've realized love isn't everything
付出也只是一种艺术
Giving is merely a form of art
当初爱情不是出路就是末路
At first, love was either a path or a dead end
回头才发现当初那只是个转角处
Only looking back did I see that was just a corner
我知道你是爱我的
I know you love me
只是当初我们不巧合
It’s just that we weren't meant to be at that time
伤人的话都收不住
Words that hurt are hard to hold back
怎么就那么白痴呢
How could it have been so foolish?
我知道我是爱你的
I know that I love you
只是当初我不懂得
It’s just that I didn’t understand back then
恨比爱还简单多了
Hate is so much simpler than love,
才知道当初那不是恨
Only now do I realize that wasn't hate,
我知道我是爱你的
I know that I love you,
这段记忆会好好的
This memory will be cherished well,
祝福若是成长的印证
If blessings are the proof of growth,
也许我们都长大了
Maybe we've both grown up,
我们再也都不怨了
We no longer have any grievances,
我们彼此都放下了
We've both let go of each other,
眼泪若是成长的著色
If tears are the colors of growth,
我相信天空会是蓝的
I believe the sky will be blue.
