我和你啊 存在一种危险关系
You and I, there's a dangerous bond we share,
彼此挟持 这另一部分的自己
Holding each other hostage, a different side of ourselves,
本以为这完整了爱的定义
Thought I had defined love in its entirety,
那就乖乖的守护著你
So I'll carefully protect you, just as you are,
相爱变成猜忌怀疑的烂游戏
Love has turned into a game of suspicion and doubt,
规则是要憋著呼吸越靠越近
The rule is to hold your breath and get closer,
但你的温柔是我唯一沉溺
But your tenderness is my only addiction,
你是爱我的就不怕有缝隙
If you love me, there's no fear of gaps,
在我心上用力的开一枪
With a strong shot right through my heart,
让一切归零 在这声巨响
Let everything reset, with this thunderous sound.
如果爱是说什么都不能放
If love means holding onto everything tight,
我不挣扎 反正我也 没差
I won’t struggle, it doesn’t matter to me either way.
相爱变成猜忌怀疑的烂游戏
Love has turned into a rotten game of doubt and suspicion.
规则是要憋著呼吸越来越近
The rule is to hold your breath, inching ever closer.
但你的温柔是我唯一沉溺
But your tenderness is my only addiction.
你是爱我的就不怕有缝隙
As long as you love me, I'm not afraid of the cracks.
在我心上用力的开一枪
With all my heart, I pull the trigger against you.
让一切归零 在这声巨响
Let everything reset with this deafening sound.
如果爱是说什么都不能放
If love means holding onto everything tight,
我不挣扎 反正我也 没差
I won’t struggle, it doesn’t matter to me either way.
人质在这一刻得到释放
The hostage is freed at this moment
相爱的纯粹落得如此下场
The purity of love ends up like this
你满意吗？ 我们都别 说谎
Are you satisfied? Let's not lie to each other
