久未放晴的天空 依旧留著妳的笑容
The sky that hasn't cleared for ages still holds your smile.
哭过 却无法掩埋歉疚
I've cried, yet can't bury the guilt.
风筝在阴天搁浅 想念还在等待救援
The kite is stranded in the overcast, longing still awaits rescue.
我拉著线 复习妳给的温柔
I pull the string, revisiting the warmth you gave me.
曝晒在一旁的寂寞 笑我给不起承诺
Sunbathing loneliness beside me, mocking my inability to promise.
怎么会怎么会 妳竟原谅了我
How could it be, how could it be, you actually forgave me.
我只能永远读著对白 读著我给妳的伤害
All I can do is forever read the lines, reading the hurt I gave to you.
我原谅不了我 就请妳当作我已不在
I can't forgive myself, so please pretend I no longer exist.
我睁开双眼 看著空白 忘记妳对我的期待
I open my eyes, staring at the blankness, forgetting your expectations of me.
读完了依赖 我很快就离开
Having finished dependence, I quickly leave behind.
