Lyrics and Translation

你曾经对我说过
nǐ céng jīng duì wǒ shuō guò
You once said to me

怎样才能不对彼此沉默
zěn yàng cái néng bù duì bǐ cǐ chén mò
How do we stop drowning in each other’s silence

最后无果 话题作罢了
zuì hòu wú guǒ huà tí zuò bà le
No answer came, we let it go

你离开多久之后
nǐ lí kāi duō jiǔ zhī hòu
How long after you leave

才能当作我从没有来过
cái néng dāng zuò wǒ cóng méi yǒu lái guò
Before it’s like I was never here at all

侃侃而谈 我们的结果
kǎn kǎn ér tán wǒ men de jié guǒ
Speaking so freely about where we ended up

可能我们之间太多
kě néng wǒ men zhī jiān tài duō
Maybe there was just too much between us

太多话其实没必要说
tài duō huà qí shí méi bì yào shuō
Too much that never needed to be said

现在只有我苦守著
xiàn zài zhǐ yǒu wǒ kǔ shǒu zhù
Now I’m the only one still holding on

这片没有绿洲的荒漠
zhè piàn méi yǒu lǜ zhōu de huāng mò
To this desert with no oasis in sight

我像这灯笼忽明忽暗守那一寸余火
wǒ xiàng zhè dēng lóng hū míng hū àn shǒu nà yī cùn yú huǒ
I’m like a lantern flickering, clinging to one last flame

我像你无关痛痒的人只配被你折磨
wǒ xiàng nǐ wú guān tòng yǎng de rén zhǐ pèi bèi nǐ zhé mó
I’m just someone you feel nothing for, born to bear your pain

故作害怕我难过 让我无法挣脱
gù zuò hài pà wǒ nán guò ràng wǒ wú fǎ zhēng tuō
You fake your fear, you break me down, and I can’t break free

猜不透 只有我
cāi bù tòu zhǐ yǒu wǒ
I can’t figure you out, and I’m the only one trying

我像这灯笼忽明忽暗跌跌撞撞陨落
wǒ xiàng zhè dēng lóng hū míng hū àn diē diē zhuàng zhuàng yǔn luò
I’m like a lantern flickering, stumbling as I fall

我想要再次靠近却又恐惧受挫
wǒ xiǎng yào zài cì kào jìn què yòu kǒng jù shòu cuò
I want to reach for you again but I’m terrified of the fall

到底我还是不是我
dào dǐ wǒ hái shì bú shì wǒ
Am I still even who I used to be

连我自己都没选择
lián wǒ zì jǐ dōu méi xuǎn zé
I never even got to choose

飞向更远的天空
fēi xiàng gèng yuǎn de tiān kōng
Fly away into a sky much farther than this

当作一切都是梦
dāng zuò yī qiè dōu shì mèng
Pretend that everything was just a dream

随风飘落成灰烬
suí fēng piāo luò chéng huī jìn
Drift with the wind until I turn to ash

不是我 不是我 不是我
bú shì wǒ bú shì wǒ bú shì wǒ
Not me, not me, not me

我难以承认
wǒ nán yǐ chéng rèn
I can barely bring myself to admit it

我开始害怕难过
wǒ kāi shǐ hài pà nán guò
I’m starting to fear the ache inside

我像这灯笼忽明忽暗守那一寸余火
wǒ xiàng zhè dēng lóng hū míng hū àn shǒu nà yī cùn yú huǒ
I’m like a lantern flickering, clinging to one last flame

我像你无关痛痒的人只配被你折磨
wǒ xiàng nǐ wú guān tòng yǎng de rén zhǐ pèi bèi nǐ zhé mó
I’m just someone you feel nothing for, born to bear your pain

故作害怕我难过 让我无法挣脱
gù zuò hài pà wǒ nán guò ràng wǒ wú fǎ zhēng tuō
You fake your fear, you break me down, and I can’t break free

猜不透 只有我
cāi bù tòu zhǐ yǒu wǒ
I can’t figure you out, and I’m the only one trying

我像这灯笼忽明忽暗跌跌撞撞陨落
wǒ xiàng zhè dēng lóng hū míng hū àn diē diē zhuàng zhuàng yǔn luò
I’m like a lantern flickering, stumbling as I fall

我想要再次靠近却又恐惧受挫
wǒ xiǎng yào zài cì kào jìn què yòu kǒng jù shòu cuò
