人变了心 言而无信
People have changed, words now lack trust
人断了情 无谓伤心
People have severed ties, no need for heartbreak
我一直聆听 我闭上眼睛
I've been listening all along, I've closed my eyes
不敢看你的表情
I dare not look at your expression
满天流星 无穷无尽
The sky is filled with shooting stars, never-ending
我的眼泪擦不干净
My tears can't be wiped away clean
所以绝口不提 所以暗自反省
So I keep silent about it, so I reflect in secret
终于 我挣脱了爱情
At last, I've broken free from love
把爱 剪碎了随风吹向大海
Shattered love, carried by the wind towards the sea
有许多事 让泪水洗过更明白
So many things, made clearer with tears' cleansing
天真如我 张开双手以为撑得住未来
Naive like me, I spread my arms thinking I could hold onto the future.
而谁担保爱永远不会染上尘埃
But who can guarantee love won't become dust?
把爱 剪碎了随风吹向大海
Love was shattered, carried away by the wind to the sea.
越伤得深 越明白爱要放得开
The deeper the wound, the clearer I understand that love must be let go.
是我不该 怎么我会眷著你眷成依赖
It's my fault; how did I become so reliant on you?
让浓情在转眼间变成了伤害
Letting deep feelings turn into pain in the blink of an eye.
满天流星 无穷无尽
The sky full of shooting stars, endless and infinite.
我的眼泪擦不干净
My tears cannot be wiped clean.
所以绝口不提 所以暗自反省
So I keep silent about it, so I reflect in secret.
终于 我挣脱了爱情
Finally, I've broken free from love.
把爱 剪碎了随风吹向大海
Love, torn apart, carried by the wind towards the sea
有许多事 让泪水洗过更明白
Many things clarify when washed by tears
天真如我 张开双手以为撑得住未来
Innocent as I am, I stretch my arms thinking I can hold the future
而谁担保爱永远不会染上尘埃
But who guarantees that love will never gather dust?
把爱 剪碎了随风吹向大海
Love, torn apart, carried by the wind towards the sea
越伤得深 越明白爱要放得开
The deeper the hurt, the clearer it becomes that love must let go
是我不该 怎么我会眷著你眷成依赖
It's my mistake, how did I become so attached, turned into dependence?
让浓情在转眼间变成了伤害
Letting deep affection quickly turn into pain
我剪不碎旧日的动人情怀
I can't sever the charming emotions of the past
你看不出来我的无奈
You can't see my helplessness
