Lyrics and Translation

作词:姚若龙
作曲:李伟菘

背后低声的八卦
Bèihòu dīshēng de bāguà
Gossip whispered behind my back

随风飘来更喧哗
Suífēng piāolái gèng xuānhuá
Carried in on the wind, growing louder

别人口中 那是我吗
Biérén kǒu zhōng nà shì wǒ ma
In other people’s mouths, is that really me?

简单情绪的抒发
Jiǎndān qíngxù de shūfā
A simple expression of emotion

转述之后变复杂
Zhuǎnshù zhīhòu biàn fùzá
Becomes complicated after being retold

是无从解释 才让心疲乏
Shì wúcóng jiěshì cái ràng xīn pífá
It’s the inability to explain that exhausts the heart

*想说真话 却又难忘
Xiǎng shuō zhēnhuà què yòu nán wàng
Want to speak the truth, yet it’s hard to forget

秘密曾被朋友 流传分享
Mìmì céng bèi péngyǒu liúchuán fēnxiǎng
Secrets once spread and shared by friends

信任换来的惩罚
Xìnrèn huànlái de chéngfá
The punishment that trust brings

想说真话 反击对方
Xiǎng shuō zhēnhuà fǎnjī duìfāng
Want to speak the truth, to fight back

不在委曲求全 去善良
Bú zài wěiqū qiúquán qù shànliáng
No longer compromising to be kind

忠于自我会怎样
Zhōng yú zìwǒ huì zěnyàng
What happens if I stay true to myself?

Repeat*

太埋藏 太勉强
Tài máicáng tài miǎnqiǎng
Too buried, too forced

快忘了 我开朗 的模样
Kuài wàng le wǒ kāilǎng de múyàng
Almost forgotten what my cheerful self looked like

越成长 越迷惘
Yuè chéngzhǎng yuè míwǎng
The more I grow, the more I’m lost

为什么 人和人 很表象
Wèishénme rén hé rén hěn biǎoxiàng
Why do people put up so many surfaces with each other?
