我想飞得起 远至天边去
I want to soar, far away to the edge of the sky.
失去那可追 转身人离去
Lost the pursuit, turning around as someone leaves.
这一刻有如停顿了的空气
This moment feels like the air has come to a standstill.
再没法追
No way to chase anymore.
往后退 发现太多假面具
Stepping back, discovering too many masks.
如同徘徊命途里
As if wandering along the path of fate.
遇灰心失意事没有一句
In the face of disappointments, not a word to say.
闭著眼强忍眼泪
With my eyes closed, holding back the tears.
背著名义往前去 任岁月告吹
Carrying the weight of names, moving forward as time slips away.
今天我 默然地回望
Today, I silently look back.
遗下零与碎
Leaving behind the fragments and the void
伤痛又困著我 隔著我的心碎
The pain restrains me, overshadowing my heart's fracture
相信是努力过 假装换来是失落
Believing was a hard-fought effort, but pretending led to disappointment
不想去解释 只想你快乐
I don’t want to explain, I just wish for your happiness
往后退 发现太多假面具
Stepping back, discovering too many masks around me
如同徘徊命途里
Wandering through the paths of fate just like this
遇灰心失意事没有一句
When faced with despair, not a word to be spoken
闭著眼强忍眼泪
With closed eyes, I force back the tears
背著名义往前去 任岁月告吹
Carrying the weight of my name, moving ahead, letting time whistle by
今天我 默然地回望
Today, I quietly look back
遗下零与碎
Left with remnants and shards
伤痛又困著我 隔著我的心碎
The pain still traps me, separated by my shattered heart
相信是努力过 假装换来是失落
Believing was once striving, pretending led to loss
不想去解释 只可以遗忘明日原谅我
I don't want to explain, I can only forget and ask for tomorrow's forgiveness
谁人愿意跟我走
Who would be willing to walk with me?
可惜是再没法面对
It's a pity I can no longer face it
唯独是我 逃不出缺口
Only I, unable to escape this gap
今天我 默然地回望
Today I silently look back
遗下零与碎
Left with remnants and shards
伤痛又困著我 隔著我的心碎
The pain still traps me, separated by my shattered heart
相信是努力过 假装换来是失落
Believing is the effort spent, pretending only brings loss.
不想去解释 只想你快乐
I don't want to explain, I just want you happy.
我想飞得起 远至天边去
I want to soar high, to the farthest edge of the sky.
失去那可追 转身人离去 OOH...
Losing what can be chased, turning away as the person departs OOH...
