爱是不夜城 回忆像星辰
Love is a city that never sleeps, memories like stars in the night.
热泪越沸腾 我越感觉有点冷
Hot tears keep boiling, yet I feel a chill inside.
变了心的人 越想越伤人
Those who have changed their hearts only cause more pain.
枯坐到清晨 阳光替房间开了灯
Sitting alone till dawn, sunlight turns the room to light.
想 若结局一样 又何苦再想
If the ending is the same, why bother thinking anymore?
伤 若让人成长
If pain leads to growth,
我为什么怕分手的伤
Why am I so afraid of the hurt from goodbye?
解脱 是肯承认这是个错
Freedom is accepting that this was a mistake.
我不应该还不放手
I shouldn't still be holding on.
你有自由走 我有自由好好过
You have the freedom to leave, and I have the freedom to live well.
解脱 是懂擦干泪看以后
Liberation means drying my tears and looking ahead
找个新方向往前走
Finding a new direction to move forward
这世界辽阔 我总会实现一个梦
This world is vast, I will surely realize a dream
想 若结局一样又何苦再想
Why ponder if the ending is the same, why suffer the thoughts?
伤 若让人成长
If pain leads to growth
我为什么怕分手的伤
Why do I fear the hurt of a breakup?
解脱 是肯承认这是个错
Liberation means being willing to admit this was a mistake
我不应该还不放手
I shouldn't hold on when I know I should let go
你有自由走 我有自由好好过
You have the freedom to leave, I have the freedom to live well
心里有一种渴望勇敢的念头
Deep down, there's a desire for courageous thoughts
不要 爱我的人再担心我
Don't worry anymore for those who love me.
解脱 是肯承认这是个错
Freedom is admitting that this was all wrong.
我不应该还不放手
I shouldn't still be holding on.
我有自由好好过
I have the freedom to live my life well.
解脱 是懂擦干泪看以后
Freedom is knowing to dry my tears and look ahead.
找个新方向往前走
Find a new direction and move forward.
这世界辽阔 我总会实现一个梦
This world is vast; I will surely make a dream come true.
