下手太重
Your aim is too harsh.
ing
请给我答案 不要装得很为难
Give me the answer—don't pretend it's hard for you.
承诺那一句是说了就算
That promise line—once I said it, it's set in stone.
只能等的爱已经让我不耐烦
Only waiting love has made me impatient.
感情的开关 始终都交给你管
The emotional switch—it's always yours to control.
承受的慌你都不愿分摊
All that panic and pressure—you won't share it at all.
一个人扛日子愈过愈混乱
Trying to carry the days alone makes everything more and more chaotic.
怎能让拥抱只剩下伤感
How could an embrace end up only full of sadness?
怎能把爱当游戏玩
How could love be played like a game?
你真的 下手太重 喜欢失踪 问不到下落
You really go in too hard—always vanishing, nowhere to be found.
纵容自己闯了祸
You let yourself cause trouble.
笑我 情绪失控 理智著火
Laugh at me—my emotions out of control, my reason set on fire.
你习惯 下手太重 撕开旧伤口
You’re used to it: go in too hard, tearing open old wounds.
我却有挽回的冲动
But I still feel the urge to make it right.
还想继续犯错
I still want to keep making mistakes.
管他不自由
Who cares about being unfree?
感情的开关 始终都交给你管
The heart’s on-off switch—always in your hands to control.
承受的慌你都不愿分摊
All that panic you won’t share even a little.
一个人扛日子愈过愈混乱
Carrying the days alone—life gets more and more chaotic.
怎能让拥抱只剩下伤感
How could you leave only heartbreak in place of an embrace?
怎能把爱当游戏玩
How could you treat love like a game?
你真的 下手太重 喜欢失踪 问不到下落
You really hit too hard—your kind is to disappear; I can’t find a trace, nowhere to locate.
纵容自己闯了祸
You let yourself run wild and cause trouble.
笑我 情绪失控 理智著火
Laugh at me—your emotions run out of control, reason catching fire.
下手太重 放肆操纵 心总被你打痛
Hit too hard—reckless at control; my heart always gets hurt by you.
可以去跟谁求救
Can you go ask who to call for help?
才能听见我那庞大的寂寞
So you can finally hear my immense loneliness.
下手太重 喜欢失踪 问不到下落
You really hit too hard—your kind is to disappear; I can’t find a trace, nowhere to locate.
纵容自己闯了祸
You let yourself run wild and cause trouble.
笑我 情绪失控 理智著火
Laugh at me—my emotions run wild, my reason is set ablaze.
下手太重 放肆操纵 心总被你打痛
You hit too hard, going too far—still you’re controlling; my heart keeps getting hurt by you.
可以去跟谁求救
Go ahead, who can I call for help?
才能听见我那庞大的寂寞
So you can finally hear my vast, crushing loneliness.
