Hoo, yeah
Hey, hey
心疼的玫瑰半夜还开著
The heartbroken rose blooms in the night
找不到匆匆掉落的花蕊
Can't find the quickly fallen petals
回到现场却已来不及
Back at the scene, but it's already too late
等待任何回音都不可得
Waiting for any echo yields nothing
微弱的风筝 冬天里飘著
A feeble kite drifts in the winter air
回不去手中缠线的那个
Can't return to the moment of tangled strings
没有蓝天 又何必去飞
Without blue skies, why even try to fly?
怎么适合?
How to fit together?
黑色笑靥掉了 雪白眼泪掉了
The black smile has fallen, the snow-white tears have fallen.
该出现的所有表情瞬间掉了
All the expressions that should appear have vanished in an instant.
瞳孔没有颜色 结了冰的长河
The pupils hold no color, a long river has frozen over.
回忆是最可怕的敌人
Memories are the most terrifying enemy.
故事情节掉了 主角对白掉了
The plot has fallen away, the protagonist's lines have faded.
该属于剧中的对角戏也掉了
The scenes meant for the play have also disappeared.
胸口没有快乐 断了翅的白鸽
There's no joy in my chest, like a white dove with broken wings.
不枯萎的借口全掉了
All the excuses that didn't wither have crumbled away.
曾经唱过的歌 分享过的笑声
The songs once sung, the laughter once shared,
在心中不断拉扯
Pull and tug within the heart, endlessly.
想念不能承认 偷偷擦去泪痕
Missing you can't be acknowledged, quietly wiping away the tear stains.
冬天过了还是会很冷 yeah-yeah
Winter's gone but it still feels so cold, yeah-yeah.
黑色笑靥掉了 雪白眼泪掉了
The black smile has fallen, the snow-white tears have fallen.
该出现的所有表情瞬间掉了
All the expressions that were meant to appear have vanished in an instant.
瞳孔没有颜色 结了冰的长河
My pupils hold no color, a long river frozen in ice.
回忆是最可怕的敌人
Memories are the most terrifying enemy.
故事情节掉了 主角对白掉了
The plot has faded away, the protagonist's lines have slipped away.
该属于剧中的对角戏也掉了
The diagonal scenes meant for the play have also slipped away.
胸口没有快乐 断了翅的白鸽
There's no joy in my heart, a white dove with broken wings.
不枯萎的借口全掉了
All the excuses that wouldn't wither have fallen away.
