哪里有彩虹告诉我
Where is the rainbow? Tell me.
能不能把我的愿望还给我
Can you return my wishes to me?
为什么天这么安静
Why is the sky so silent?
所有的云都跑到我这里
All the clouds have come to my side.
有没有口罩一个给我
Is there a mask? Could you give one to me?
释怀说了太多就成真不了
Letting go, I've said too much, and it won’t come true.
也许时间是一种解药
Perhaps time is a kind of remedy,
也是我现在正服下的毒药
But it's also the poison I'm swallowing now.
看不见妳的笑 我怎么睡得著
How can I sleep when I can't see your smile?
妳的声音这么近我却抱不到
Your voice is so close, yet I can't hold you.
没有地球 太阳还是会绕
Without Earth, the sun will still revolve.
没有理由 我也能自己走
No reason needed, I can walk on my own.
妳要离开 我知道很简单
You want to leave, I know it's so easy.
妳说依赖 是我们的阻碍
You say reliance is our obstacle.
就算放开 但能不能别没收我的爱
Even if I let go, can you not take away my love?
当作我最后才明白
It's only now that I understand.
有没有口罩一个给我
Do you have a mask, one to give me?
释怀说了太多就成真不了
Letting go, I've said too much, yet it won't come true.
也许时间是一种解药
Maybe time is a kind of antidote.
也是我现在正服下的毒药
And it's the poison I’m currently swallowing.
看不见妳的笑 我怎么睡得著
Without seeing your smile, how can I sleep at night?
妳的声音这么近我却抱不到
Your voice is so near, yet I can't hold you tight.
没有地球 太阳还是会绕
Without the Earth, the sun would still revolve.
没有理由 我也能自己走
No reason needed, I can still walk on my own.
妳要离开 我知道很简单
If you choose to leave, I know it's so simple.
妳说依赖 是我们的阻碍
You say dependence is our greatest hurdle.
就算放开 但能不能别没收我的爱
Even if I let go, can you not take my love away?
当作我最后才明白
Only in this moment do I finally understand.
看不见妳的笑 要我怎么睡得著
Without seeing your smile, how can I sleep at night?
妳的声音这么近我却抱不到
Your voice is so near, yet I can't hold you tight.
没有地球 太阳还是会绕会绕
Without the Earth, the sun will still orbit and orbit.
没有理由 我也能自己走掉
Without a reason, I can also walk away on my own.
释怀说了太多就成真不了
Letting go, I've said too much for it to come true.
也许时间是一种解药解药
Maybe time is a kind of antidote, antidote.
也是我现在正服下的毒药
It's also the poison I'm swallowing right now.
妳要离开 我知道很简单
You want to leave, I know it's very simple.
妳说依赖 是我们的阻碍
You say dependence is our hindrance.
就算放开 但能不能别没收我的爱
Even if you let go, can you not take away my love?
当作我最后才明白
As if I only understood this in the end.
