如果有人在灯塔
If someone stands by the lighthouse
拨弄她的头发
playing with her hair
思念刻在墙和瓦
Longing carved into wall and tile
如果感情会挣扎
If emotions can struggle
没有说的儒雅
Unspoken elegance remains
把挽回的手放下
Letting go of the hand that tried to mend
镜子里的人说假话
The person in the mirror speaks falsehoods
违心的样子你决定了吗
Have you decided on the pretense of your heart?
装聋或者作哑 要不我先说话
Pretend to be deaf or mute, shall I speak first?
我们的爱情 到这刚刚好
Our love is just right at this moment
剩不多也不少 还能忘掉
Not too much, nor too little, I can still forget.
我应该可以 把自己照顾好
I should be able to take care of myself.
我们的距离 到这刚刚好
Our distance is just right at this moment.
不够我们拥抱 就挽回不了
If there's not enough for our embrace, it can't be salvaged.
用力爱过的人 不该计较
Those who have loved fiercely shouldn't keep score.
是否要逼人弃了甲
Should we force someone to abandon their armor?
亮出一条伤疤
Reveal a scar.
不堪的根源在哪
Where lies the unbearable root?
可是感情会挣扎
But emotions will still struggle.
没有别的办法
There's no other way.
它劝你不如退下
It advises you to take a step back,
如果分手太复杂
If breaking up is too complicated.
流浪的歌手会放下吉他
The wandering singer will put down the guitar,
故事要美必须藏著真话
For a beautiful story, the truth must stay hidden.
我们的爱情 到这刚刚好
Our love is just right at this moment.
剩不多也不少 还能忘掉
Not too much, not too little, we can still forget.
我应该可以 把自己照顾好
I should be able to take good care of myself.
我们的距离 到这刚刚好
Our distance is just right at this moment.
不够我们拥抱 就挽回不了
If we can't embrace, we can't reclaim what’s lost.
用力爱过的人 不该计较
Those who have loved deeply shouldn't keep score.
我们的爱情到这刚刚好
Our love has reached a perfect balance
再不争也不吵 不必再煎熬
No more arguing or shouting, no need for agony
你可以不用 记得我的好
You don't have to remember the good in me
我们的流浪到这刚刚好
Our wandering has come to just the right moment
趁我们还没到 天涯海角
While we haven't yet reached the ends of the earth
我也不是非要去那座城堡
I don’t necessarily need to go to that castle
天空有些暗了暗的刚刚好
The sky has dimmed, just dark enough
我难过的样子就没人看到
No one sees the sadness that's in my eyes
你别太在意我身上的记号
Don't pay too much attention to the marks on me
