冷咖啡离开了杯垫
Cold coffee has left the coaster
我忍住的情绪在很后面
The emotions I hold back linger far behind
拼命想挽回的从前
Desperately trying to reclaim the past
在我脸下依旧清晰可见
Still clearly visible beneath my face
最美的不是下雨天
The most beautiful isn't the rainy day
是曾与妳躲过雨的屋簷
But the eaves where we sheltered from the rain
回忆的画面
The scenes of memories
在荡著秋千梦开始不甜
Swinging back and forth, dreams start to lose their sweetness
妳说把爱渐渐放下会走更远
You said letting go of love gradually would help us go further
又何必去改变已错过的时间
So why bother changing the time we've already missed
妳用妳的指尖 阻止我说再见
You use your fingertips to stop me from saying goodbye.
想像妳在身边 在完全失去之前
Imagining you by my side before everything is gone.
妳说把爱渐渐放下会走更远
You say that letting love go little by little will take us further.
或许命运的签只让我们遇见
Perhaps fate's decree only allows us to meet.
只让我们相恋 这一季的秋天
Only allows us to fall in love this autumn season.
飘落后才发现这幸福的碎片
It’s only after they fall that I discover these fragments of happiness.
要我怎么捡
How am I supposed to pick them up?
冷咖啡离开了杯垫
Cold coffee has left the coaster.
我忍住的情绪在很后面
The emotions I've held back are far behind.
拼命想挽回的从前
Desperately trying to reclaim the past.
在我脸下依旧清晰可见
Still clearly visible beneath my face
最美的不是下雨天
The most beautiful isn’t the rainy days
是曾与妳躲过雨的屋簷 whoa
But the eaves where we once sheltered from the rain whoa
回忆的画面
The scenes of memory
在荡著秋千梦开始不甜
As dreams swing on a swing, sweetness starts to fade
妳说把爱渐渐放下会走更远
You said letting love go little by little would let us go further
又何必去改变已错过的时间
So why bother to change the time that's already passed
妳用妳的指尖 阻止我说再见
You with your fingertips stop me from saying goodbye
想像妳在身边 在完全失去之前
Imagining you by my side, before it all slips away
妳说把爱渐渐放下会走更远
You said letting love go little by little would let us go further
或许命运的签只让我们遇见
Perhaps the fate's decree only allows us to meet,
只让我们相恋 这一季的秋天
Only allows us to fall in love this autumn season.
飘落后才发现这幸福的碎片
It’s only after it falls that I realize these pieces of happiness,
要我怎么捡
How am I supposed to gather them up?
