lyrics

一天餐室如期約會相聚
肅靜雙望只會憂心一遍
急急吞下無味冷漠餐食
對望按捺心中窩心的愛
找不到字 腦筋廢掉
這般殘酷 沒法能自在

未能關顧 你身子好嗎
只急著說 祝一切順意
只顧行動 卻忘掉慢活
空空臂彎 再服侍背影

最可悲是 忘掉你
歲月過後未曾珍惜
盼有機會 無異義
笑著表達心裡歉意

你可知道我能繼續生活
因為你在沉默站在我旁
每天掙扎從未決定輕生
珍重生命一切似是非是
做不到事 沒有成就
這般殘酷 沒法能化碟

最可惜是 沒有字
讓人道愛卻感隨便
然後開口 卻已太遲
灰黑一生卻沒擁過

Translation:

Meetup at the restaurant as scheduled
Gazing at each other silently with worries
Then gulping our mundane meals
We suppress the warm love in our hearts
No words arise, my brain froze up
Such torturous fact, I can’t find comfort

Just slipped my mind, didn’t ask are you well
Rushing a formality, wish all’s well with you
We just act with practicality, forgetting to chill and enjoy
Our empty arms, serving the shadows again

The saddest truth, I forgot you
Time flew by without me treasuring you
I hope I can, without doubts
Sincerely apologize with a smile

You know you kept my life going
Simply by just being there beside me
I struggle daily but I haven’t offed myself
Preserving life but it felt moot
I couldn’t be productive, achieved nothing
The torturous fact, I can’t rise up

The saddest truth, there’s no words
To express love but just casually
When I opened my mouth, it’s too late
Spending life in the dark, but never embraced
