Lyrics: Ge Da Wei
Composition: JerryC
誰想要故事這般壯烈
Shéi xiǎng yào gù shi zhè bān zhuàng liè
Who wants a heroic story like this
用犧牲見證一場離別
Yòng xī shēng jiàn zhèng yī chǎng lí bié
Using a sacrifice to witness a parting
海深邃就像藍天
Hǎi shēn suì jiù xiàng lán tiān
The sea is deep like the blue sky
可惜藍天聽不見海
Kě xī lán tiān tīng bu jiàn hǎi
It’s too bad the blue sky can’t hear the sea
我愛你注定只有遺憾當信物
Wǒ ài nǐ zhù dìng zhǐ yǒu yí hàn dāng xìn wù
My love for you is destined to have regret as a memento
我的沉默不是在迂迴
Wǒ de chén mò bù shì zài yū huí
I’m not trying to be roundabout with my silence
是為悲劇結尾做好準備
Shì wéi bēi jù jié wěi zuò hǎo zhǔn bèi
It’s because I’m preparing for a tragic ending
我要愛哪怕愛到一無所有的艱難
Wǒ yào ài nǎ pà ài dào yī wú suǒ yǒu de jiān nán
I want love even if it means we’ll love until we go through the hardship of losing it all
載浮載沉變成泡沫
Zài fú zài chén biàn chéng pào mò
Whether I sink or swim, or turn into bubbles
也無悔
Yě wú huǐ
I’d still have no regrets
相遇為了離開
Xiāng yù wèi le lí kāi
We meet just to go our separate ways
擁抱為了放開
Yōng bào wèi le fàng kāi
We embrace just to let go
微笑能抵銷掉一點心酸
Wēi xiào néng dǐ xiāo diào yī diǎn xīn suān
Smiling can counteract a little bit of sadness
我消失在回不去的海
Wǒ xiāo shī zài huí bù qù de hǎi
I’ve disappeared into the sea I can’t return to
我能勇敢去愛
Wǒ néng yǒng gǎn qù ài
I can bravely love
也敢轉身忘懷
Yě gǎn zhuǎn shēn wàng huái
And I have the courage to turn around and forget
心死才能重來
Xīn sǐ cái néng chóng lái
I can only start over after my heart breaks*
這是童話為何要催淚
Zhè shì tóng huà wèi hé yào cuī lèi
This is a fairytale. Why am I moved to tears?
像我們不被看好的愛情
Xiàng wǒ men bù bèi kàn hǎo de ài qíng
It’s like our love wasn’t expected to turn out well
我額頭你那個吻別像永恆的擱淺
Wǒ é tóu nǐ nà ge wěn bié xiàng yǒng héng de gē qiǎn
Your goodbye kiss on my forehead feels like I’m being stranded forever
赤足的我走得比你慢了點
Chì zú de wǒ zǒu dé bǐ nǐ màn le diǎn
Barefooted, I’m walking a little slower than you are
相遇為了離開
Xiāng yù wèi le lí kāi
We meet just to go our separate ways
擁抱為了放開
Yōng bào wèi le fàng kāi
We embrace just to let go
微笑能抵銷掉一點心酸
Wēi xiào néng dǐ xiāo diào yī diǎn xīn suān
Smiling can counteract a little bit of sadness
我消失在回不去的海
Wǒ xiāo shī zài huí bù qù de hǎi
I’ve disappeared into the sea I can’t return to
我能勇敢去愛
Wǒ néng yǒng gǎn qù ài
I can bravely love
也敢轉身忘懷
Yě gǎn zhuǎn shēn wàng huái
And I have the courage to turn around and forget
心死才能重來
Xīn sǐ cái néng chóng lái
I can only start over after my heart breaks*
勇敢去愛
Yǒng gǎn qù ài
Bravely love
游離你給的愛
Yóu lí nǐ gěi de ài
Swimming away from the love you’ve given me
沉入我的孤單
Chén rù wǒ de gū dān
I’ve sunk into my loneliness
破碎的會讓人更難忘懷
Pò suì de huì ràng rén gèng nán wàng huái
What’s broken will be harder to forget in our minds
你是我再回不去的海
Nǐ shì wǒ zài huí bù qù de hǎi
You’re the sea I can no longer return to
我能勇敢去愛
Wǒ néng yǒng gǎn qù ài
I can bravely love
也敢轉身忘懷
Yě gǎn zhuǎn shēn wàng huái
And I have the courage to turn around and forget
心死才能重來
Xīn sǐ cái néng chóng lái
I can only start over after my heart breaks*
我能勇敢重來
Wǒ néng yǒng gǎn chóng lái
I can bravely start over again
* literally, it translates to “after my heart dies”
