何必说 曾共我
Why even say we once shared
一起把爱拥有
Let’s hold on to love together
何必说 其实妳
Why even say that you
不想跟我分手
Don't want to break up with me
明知门外有个
Well aware there's someone outside
他等妳 像要看好戏
Waiting for you, like watching a show
看著门后我
Watching behind the door, I
行前行后 像小丑
Move back and forth, like a clown
尽快走 请妳尽快走
Please just go, I beg you, hurry and go
横竖妳 急想远走
Regardless, you’re eager to run far away
尽快走 请妳尽快走
Please leave quickly, I ask you to leave quickly,
无谓望见身后 背影后
There's no point in looking back at the shadows behind,
我高呼请不要走 唇在颤抖
I cry out, please don’t go, my lips are trembling,
绝望像中枪的走兽
Desperation hits like a wounded beast,
毋须说 仍待我
No need to say it, still wait for me,
好比一个好友
Just like a dear friend,
毋须说 寻字句
No need to say it, looking for the right words,
婉转跟我说分手
Softly you tell me it's over,
明知门外有个
Knowing outside the door there's someone,
他等妳 像要看好戏
He's waiting for you, as if to see a grand show.
看著门后我
Looking at the door behind me,
行前行后 像小丑
Moving forward, moving back, like a clown.
尽快走 请妳尽快走
Hurry and go, please hurry and go.
横竖妳 急想远走
You can't stay, you just want to run away.
尽快走 请妳尽快走
Hurry and go, please hurry and go.
无谓望见身后 背影后
There's no point looking back at your silhouette.
我高呼请不要走 唇在颤抖
I cry out, please don't go, my lips are trembling.
绝望像中枪的走兽
Despair feels like a wounded beast.
明知门外有个
Knowing there's someone outside the door,
他等妳 像要看好戏
He's waiting for you, like watching a good show.
看著门后我
Looking behind the door at me
行前行后 像小丑
Moving forward and back, like a clown
尽快走 请妳尽快走
Please hurry and go, I beg you to leave soon
横竖妳 急想远走
In every direction, you want to flee far away
尽快走 请妳尽快走
Please hurry and go, I beg you to leave soon
无谓望见身后 背影后
No point in glancing back, at that silhouette behind
我高呼请不要走 唇在颤抖
I cry out, please don't go, my lips trembling
绝望像中枪的走兽
Despair hits like a beast shot through
尽快走 请妳尽快走
Please hurry and go, I beg you to leave soon
横竖妳 急想远走
In every direction, you want to flee far away
尽快走 请妳尽快走
Hurry and go, please hurry and go
无谓望见身后 背影后
No need to look back, at that shadow behind
我高呼请不要走 唇在颤抖
I cry out, please don't leave, my lips are shaking
恨极为妳心伤透
Hate it so much, your heart's broken inside
