Lyrics and Translation

从来不犯错 直到爱上你
Cónglái bù fàncuò zhídào ài shàng nǐ
I never made mistakes, until I fell in love with you

就像赤脚在碎玻璃上行走
Jiù xiàng chìjiǎo zài suì bōlí shàng xíngzǒu
Like walking barefoot on broken glass

痛得让人还没天长地久
Tòng de ràng rén hái méi tiān cháng dì jiǔ
Hurting so much, before we’ve even had forever

就已白了头
Jiù yǐ bái le tóu
My hair has already gone white

如果爱你是我强求 如果拥抱变得烫手
Rúguǒ ài nǐ shì wǒ qiǎngqiú rúguǒ yǒngbào biàn de tàngshǒu
If loving you is me forcing something, if your embrace has grown too hot to hold

为何我还想要听你怎么说
Wèihé wǒ hái xiǎngyào tīng nǐ zěnme shuō
Then why do I still want to hear what you have to say

说了什么能止痛 能好过
Shuō le shénme néng zhǐtòng néng hǎoguò
What words could ease the pain, could make things better

能让泪不再流 不如慷慨一点放手
Néng ràng lèi bú zài liú bùrú kāngkǎi yīdiǎn fàngshǒu
Could stop the tears from falling, wouldn’t it be more generous to simply let go

不准自己哭 封锁每个梦
Bù zhǔn zìjǐ kū fēngsuǒ měi gè mèng
Forbidding myself to cry, locking away every dream

看看我先崩溃或回忆先腐朽
Kànkàn wǒ xiān bēngkuì huò huíyì xiān fǔxiǔ
Seeing whether I collapse first, or the memories decay first

我精疲力尽对抗想你的念头 也不能回头
Wǒ jīngpí lìjìn duìkàng xiǎng nǐ de niàntou yě bù néng huítóu
I am exhausted from fighting the urge to think of you, and still I cannot turn back

如果爱你是我强求 如果拥抱变得烫手
Rúguǒ ài nǐ shì wǒ qiǎngqiú rúguǒ yǒngbào biàn de tàngshǒu
If loving you is me forcing something, if your embrace has grown too hot to hold

为何我还想要听你怎么说
Wèihé wǒ hái xiǎngyào tīng nǐ zěnme shuō
Then why do I still want to hear what you have to say

说了什么能止痛 能好过
Shuō le shénme néng zhǐtòng néng hǎoguò
What words could ease the pain, could make things better

能让泪不再流 不如慷慨一点放手
Néng ràng lèi bú zài liú bùrú kāngkǎi yīdiǎn fàngshǒu
Could stop the tears from falling, wouldn’t it be more generous to simply let go

飞鸟和鱼没有结果 怪我早该听懂
Fēiniǎo hé yú méiyǒu jiéguǒ guài wǒ zǎo gāi tīng dǒng
Birds and fish can have no ending, I should have understood this sooner

既然爱是一种强求 钥匙打开放你自由
Jìrán ài shì yī zhǒng qiǎngqiú yàoshi dǎkāi fàng nǐ zìyóu
Since love is just a kind of forcing, the key turns, setting you free

我们只不过是偶尔相爱过
Wǒmen zhǐ bùguò shì ǒu’ěr xiāng’ài guò
We were nothing more than people who loved each other once in a while

过不去了就不用 再拼凑 再回收那温柔
Guò bù qù le jiù bú yòng zài pīncòu zài huíshōu nà wēnróu
If we can’t get through this, there’s no need to piece things back together, to reclaim that tenderness

不如慷慨一点放手 好把翅膀还给天空
Bùrú kāngkǎi yīdiǎn fàngshǒu hǎo bǎ chìbǎng huán gěi tiānkōng
Better to be generous and let go, to return wings to the sky

也把自己还给寂寞
Yě bǎ zìjǐ huán gěi jìmò
And return myself to solitude
