多久没找个借口 不必什么事都懂
How long has it been since I found an excuse, not having to understand it all?
委屈了 就哭了 像孩子那样失控
I felt wronged, so I cried, losing control like a child.
心痛了不是罪过 那为什么我 不可以冲动
Feeling heartache isn’t a sin, so why can't I be impulsive?
那些点头的朋友 狂欢后剩下什么
What remains after the wild revelry with those nodding friends?
上了车 就往前走 至少先离开
Got in the car, just drive on, at least leave for now.
我无所谓 让心缓缓破碎
I don’t care, let my heart slowly shatter.
既然不懂 就不要责备
Since you don’t understand, don’t point fingers.
I don't wanna pray, I just wanna play
我不是你心里所认为的 那个谁
I’m not the one you think I am in your heart.
I don't wanna stay, there's another way
玩到越疲累 快乐越沉醉 I don't wanna pray
The more I play and get tired, the more bliss I'm lost in, I don't wanna pray
就这样吧 把什么都放下
Let's just leave it at that, letting everything go
不要以为 我情愿被当作刺猬 就不用安慰
Don't think that I'd rather be a hedgehog, so I won't need comfort
I don't wanna pray, I just wanna play
爱不就是挣脱寂寞然后 不肯给
Isn't love just breaking free from loneliness, then refusing to give?
I don't wanna stay, there's another way
玩到越疲累 快乐越沉醉 I don't wanna pray
The more I play and get tired, the more bliss I'm lost in, I don't wanna pray
I don't wanna pray, I just wanna play
人不都是凭著直觉明知 那不对
Aren't people just relying on instinct, knowing that's wrong?
I don't wanna stay, there's another way
玩到越疲累 快乐越沉醉 I don't wanna pray
The more tired I get from playing, the deeper my joy sinks, I don't wanna pray
离开只是因为 I don't wanna pray
Leaving is just because, I don't wanna pray
