是我不肯走
It's me who won't let go
没有人要我的自由
No one wants my freedom
别问为什么
Don't ask me why
就当是河流的尽头
Just think of it as the river's end
一个人进来
Someone walks in
如此的容易
So incredibly easy
失去你的时候
When I lost you
我才知道那有多难过
That's when I realized how hard it was
有多深刻
How profound it is
旧伤口
Old wounds
一直缠着我
You've been clinging to me
一直不让我走
Refusing to let me go
像多年的朋友
Like an old friend
旧伤口
An old wound
伤了你多久
How long have you been hurt?
就跟了我多久
You've been with me that long
还不肯放开手
Still not willing to let go
还带着旧伤口
Carrying that old wound
是我不肯走
It's me who won't leave
没有人要我的自由
No one wants my freedom
别问为什么
Don't ask why
就当是河流的尽头
Just think of it as the end of the river
一个人进来
Someone walks in
如此的容易
So easily
失去你的时候
When I lost you
我才知道那有多难过
That's when I realized how heartbreaking it could be
有多深刻
How profound it was
旧伤口
Old wounds
一直缠着我
Keep haunting me
一直不让我走
Won't let me go
像多年的朋友
Like an old friend from years gone by
旧伤口
Old wounds
伤了你多久
How long have you been hurt?
就跟了我多久
Just how long have you been by my side?
还不肯放开手
Still unwilling to let go
还带着旧伤口
Still carrying those old scars
旧伤口
Old wounds
一直缠着我
Keeping hold of me all this time
一直不让我走
Not letting me leave
像多年的朋友
Like an old friend from years gone by
旧伤口
Old wounds
伤了你多久
How long have you been hurt?
就跟了我多久
Just as long as you've been with me.
还不肯放开手
Still not willing to let go.
还带着旧伤口
Still carrying those old wounds.
