翻著我们的照片 想念若隐若现
Flipping through our pictures, memories flicker in and out.
去年的冬天 我们笑得很甜
Last winter, we laughed so sweetly.
看著妳哭泣的脸 对著我说再见
Watching your crying face, you said goodbye to me.
来不及听见 妳已走得很远
Too late to hear, you've already gone so far.
也许妳已经放弃我
Maybe you've already given up on me.
也许已经很难回头
Maybe it's become too hard to turn back.
我知道是自己错过
I know it's my own fault for missing out.
请再给我一个理由说妳不爱我
Please give me one more reason to say you don't love me.
就算是我不懂 能不能原谅我
Even if I don't understand, can you forgive me?
请不要把分手当作妳的请求
Please don't treat our breakup as your request.
我知道坚持要走 是妳受伤的借口
I know persistence is just your excuse for pain
请妳回头 我会陪妳一直走到最后
Please turn back, I'll walk with you until the end
就算没有结果 我也能够承受
Even if there’s no result, I can still bear the weight
我知道妳的痛 是我给的承诺
I know your hurt is from the promise I've made
妳说给过我纵容 沉默是因为包容
You said you once gave me grace, silence stemmed from your embrace
如果要走 请妳记得我
If you must leave, please remember me
翻著我们的照片 想念若隐若现
Flipping through our pictures, nostalgia appears and fades
去年的冬天 我们笑得很甜
Last winter, we laughed so sweetly
看著妳哭泣的脸 对著我说再见
Watching your tear-streaked face, saying goodbye to me
来不及听见 妳已走得很远
Too late to hear, you've walked so far away
也许妳已经放弃我
Maybe you've already given up on me
也许已经很难回头
Perhaps it's already hard to turn back
我知道是自己错过
I know I've missed my chance
请再给我一个理由说妳不爱我
Please give me one more reason to say you don't love me
就算是我不懂 能不能原谅我
Even if I don't understand, can you forgive me?
请不要把分手当作妳的请求
Please don't treat our breakup as your request
我知道坚持要走 是妳受伤的借口
I know stubbornness is your excuse for leaving
请妳回头 我会陪妳一直走到最后
Please turn back, I'll walk with you till the end
就算没有结果 我也能够承受
Even if there's no outcome, I can bear it
我知道妳的痛 是我给的承诺
I know your pain is the promise I gave
妳说给过我纵容 沉默是因为包容
You said you've given me indulgence, silence is born from tolerance.
如果要走 请妳记得我
If you must go, please remember me.
如果难过 请妳忘了我
If you feel sad, please forget me.
