我的天是灰色 我的心是蓝色
My sky is gray, my heart is blue.
触摸著你的心 竟是透明的
Touching your heart, it's surprisingly transparent.
你的悠然自得 我却束手无策
Your calm and ease leave me helpless.
我的心痛竟是 你的快乐
The pain in my heart is your happiness.
其实我不想对你恋恋不舍
Actually, I don’t want to hold on to you.
但什么让我辗转反侧
But what keeps me tossing and turning?
不觉我说著说著天就亮了
Before I knew it, dawn broke as I spoke.
我的唇角尝到一种苦涩
The corner of my lips tastes a certain bitterness.
我是真的为你哭了
I truly cried for you.
你是真的随他走了
You really went off with him.
就在这一刻 全世界 伤心角色
In this moment, the whole world is a role of sorrow,
又多了我一个
And I've just become one more.
我是真的为你爱了
I truly loved you,
你是真的跟他走了
You truly walked away with him.
能给的我全都给了 我都舍得
I've given you all that I could, I'm willing to let it go,
除了让你知道 我心如刀割
Except for letting you know, my heart is in agony.
你的悠然自得 我却束手无策
While you are at ease, I'm left helpless,
我的心痛竟是 你的快乐
My heartache turns out to be your happiness.
其实我不想对你恋恋不舍
Honestly, I don't want to linger on you,
但什么让我辗转反侧
But what keeps me turning and tossing?
不觉我说著说著天就亮了
Unknowingly, as I spoke the dawn broke anew
我的唇角尝到一种苦涩
The corners of my lips taste a bittersweet brew
我是真的为你哭了
I truly cried for you, it's true
你是真的随他走了
You really walked away with him, didn't you?
就在这一刻全世界伤心角色
In this moment, the world's sadness does accrue
又多了我一个
And now I'm just one more in this view
我是真的为你爱了
I truly loved you, it's true
你是真的跟他走了
You really left with him, did you?
能给的我全都给了 我都舍得
I've given all I could, I'd sacrifice too
除了让你知道 我心如刀割
Except to let you know, my heart feels like it's sliced through
