为何我一想到你
Why do I feel like crying
就有想哭的感觉
Every time I think of you?
滴在手中的眼泪
Tears drop into my hands,
怕被人发现我的伤悲
Afraid someone might see my sorrow.
一直都亏欠自己
I've always let myself down,
放踪你游戏爱情
Chasing after your playful love,
只拥有伤人伤己的孤单委屈
Only to bear the loneliness that hurts both of us.
当成甜蜜
Turned into sweetness,
别无所求 (别无所求) 爱到不能收 (爱到不能收)
Asking for nothing more (asking for nothing more), loving until it can't be contained (loving until it can't be contained).
原谅你犯了错 用自由当借口
Forgiving your mistakes, using freedom as an excuse.
傻的是我 (傻的是我) 爱到不能收 (爱到不能收)
The foolish one is me (the foolish one is me), loving until I can't let go (loving until I can't let go)
面对你的冷落 该如何放手
Facing your indifference, how can I let you go?
习惯了你的谎言
I've grown used to your lies
越来越害怕天黑
I'm increasingly afraid of the dark
眼睁睁看你流浪在不同美丽的胸口
I watch you wander in different beautiful embraces
却无力挽回
Yet I'm powerless to retrieve
别无所求 爱到不能收
I seek nothing more, loving until I can't let go
原谅你犯了错 用自由当借口
Forgiving you for your mistakes, using freedom as an excuse
傻的是我 爱到不能收
The foolish one is me, loving until I can't let go
面对你的冷落 该如何放手
Facing your indifference, how can I let you go?
习惯了你的谎言
I've grown used to your lies
越来越害怕天黑
The dark fills me with increasing dread
眼睁睁看你流浪在不同美丽的胸口
Watching you wander among different beautiful hearts
却无力挽回
Yet feeling powerless to turn it back
一遍遍告诉自己
Telling myself time and time again
不要再等你施舍安慰 yeah
Not to wait for your comfort to be bestowed, yeah
而伤痕累累
While I'm left with scars so deep
