  1. 爸爸的话 我不是东西

    You listen to Dad's words, saying I'm not worth much.

  2. 送给你的 不配放在花瓶

    The flowers I gave you don't deserve to be in your vase.

  3. 他要越好

    He wants me to walk further and further away.

  4. 不要在一起最好

    It's best if we don't stay together.

  5. 妈妈的话 不能轻易放弃

    But I listen to Mom's words, telling me not to give up easily.

  6. 喜欢的话 我再追回

    If you still have feelings, let me chase after you once more, please.

  7. 难道你要我不孝顺?

    Do you want me to be unfilial?

  8. 借口应该

    This is an excuse you should understand, right?

  9. 我不

    You say, who says, I say, I'm no longer in love.

  10. 胡说 习惯

    Nonsense, lies, I've grown used to it.

  11. I've given up both smoke and wine,

  12. 证明在乎

    Proving just how much I care for you.

  13. 一句我想

    In the light, I hope you understand this line,

  14. 真的不太说话

    I really struggle to find the words,

  15. 笑了

    Look at you, you're smiling now.

  16. 算了

    You say I should just let it go.

  17. 一个人的爱情很简单

    Loving alone is oh so simple,

  18. 个人相爱为什么反而变得?

    But why does two love each other become so hard?

  19. 受够我的比较

    I've had enough of my love being greater,

  20. 受够你的沉默很久

    And I've also had enough of your silence for too long.

  21. 承诺太多 多少

    Too many promises, some will go wrong.

  22. 宁愿难过也不要有结果

    You'd rather be sad than have no outcome.

  23. 受够我的比较

    I've had enough, my love outweighs yours.

  24. 倒不如回到从前自由

    Might as well return to the freedom of the past.

  25. 放手 开口 没有对错

    We agreed to let go; who spoke first? There's no right or wrong.

  26. 反正花开终究会

    Anyway, flowers bloom, but they'll eventually fall.

  27. 我不

    You said, who said, I said, I no longer love.

  28. 胡说 习惯

    Nonsense, foolishness, I've gotten used to it.

  29. I've quit smoking and drinking too.

  30. 证明在乎

    It proves how much I care about you.

  31. 一个人的爱情很简单

    A love for one is quite simple.

  32. 个人相爱为什么反而变得?

    But why does love for two become so difficult?

  33. 爸爸的话 我不是东西

    You listen to your father, say I'm not worth anything.

  34. 送给你的 不配放在花瓶

    The flowers I give you don't deserve a vase in your home.

  35. 他要越好

    He wants me to walk away further and further.

  36. 不要在一起最好

    It's best if we don't stay together.

  37. 妈妈的话 不能轻易放弃

    But I listen to my mother, she says I shouldn't give up easily.

  38. 喜欢的话 我再追回

    If you still like me, let me chase after you one more time, please.

  39. 难道你要我不孝顺?

    Do you want me to be unfilial?

  40. 借口应该

    This is an excuse, you should understand, right?

  41. Oh 受够我的比较

    Oh, I've had enough of my love, you love me more

  42. 受够你的沉默很久

    And I've also endured your silence for so long

  43. 承诺太多 多少

    Too many promises, some are bound to go wrong

  44. 宁愿难过也不要有结果

    You'd rather feel sad than have no end to our song

  45. 受够我的比较

    I've had enough of my love, you love me more

  46. 倒不如回到从前自由

    Why not return to the freedom we had before?

  47. 放手 开口 没有对错

    We agreed to let go, but who speaks first? There's no right or wrong

  48. 反正花开终究会

    Anyway, flowers bloom, but eventually fall along

  49. 难道你要我不孝顺?

    Do you want me to be unfilial, is that your aim?

  50. 借口应该

    This is an excuse, you should understand my claim
