到最后 终于还是要离开
In the end, we still have to part ways.
不要哭 他说我们不要哭
Don't cry, he said we shouldn't cry.
点了一杯咖啡 放下一个小小的钟
Ordered a cup of coffee, placed a little clock down.
约定了时间 不要说再见 然后我们各西东
We set a time, don't say goodbye, then we each went our own way.
到今天 回到相约的地点
To this day, returning to the place we promised to meet.
才发现 身上带著那个钟
Only to find, I'm carrying that little clock.
点了一杯咖啡 加了一点一点心碎
Ordered a cup of coffee, added a bit of heartbreak.
想起那一天 没有说再见 忍不住有点心酸
Thinking back to that day, no goodbyes were said, can't help but feel a tinge of sorrow.
忘了他 要我怎么忘了他
Forget him? How can I forget him?
放了吧 就像放开手中沙
Let it go, like releasing sand from my hands.
如果啊 如此深爱还是虚假
If ah, such deep love is still a lie,
我将永远迷失在无边的海洋
I will forever be lost in the boundless ocean.
忘了他 要我怎么忘了他
Forget him, how am I supposed to forget him?
放了吧 一切都是水中花
Let it go, everything's just a flower in the water.
是他吧 仿佛看见他的长发
It's him, it feels like I see his long hair.
从最熟悉走到最陌生的挣扎
From the most familiar to the struggle of the most unknown.
到今天 回到相约的地点
Until today, returning to the meeting place we promised.
才发现 身上带著那个钟
Only to realize, I carry that clock with me.
点了一杯咖啡 加了一点一点心碎
Ordered a cup of coffee, added a little piece of heartbreak.
想起那一天 没有说再见 忍不住有点心酸
Remembering that day, without saying goodbye, can't help but feel a bit bittersweet.
忘了他 要我怎么忘了他
How can I forget him, tell me how to forget him?
放了吧 就像放开手中沙
Let go, just like releasing sand from my hands.
如果啊 如此深爱还是虚假
If such deep love is still just a facade,
我将永远迷失在无边的海洋
I will forever be lost in the boundless ocean.
忘了他 要我怎么忘了他
How can I forget him, tell me how to forget him?
放了吧 一切都是水中花
Let go, everything is just flowers in the water.
是他吧 仿佛看见他的长发
Is it him? I seem to see his long hair.
从最熟悉走到最陌生的挣扎
Struggling from the most familiar to the most strange.
(看见他 有一些话请告诉他
(Seeing him, there are things I must tell him,
有些爱是真的 谁都不用害怕)
Some loves are real, no one needs to be afraid.)
