你曾说不想有天让我知道
nǐ céng shuō bú xiǎng yǒu tiān ràng wǒ zhī dào
You once said, you wouldn’t want me to ever find out
你对他有那么好
nǐ duì tā yǒu nà me hǎo
How good you’ve been to him
你说会懂 我的失落
nǐ shuō huì dǒng wǒ de shī luò
You said you understood my disappointment
不是靠宽容 就能够解脱
bú shì kào kuān róng jiù néng gòu jiě tuō
And that to forgive didn’t meant a total liberation
我以为 我出现的时候刚好
wǒ yǐ wéi wǒ chū xiàn de shí hòu gāng hǎo
I thought my appearance into your life was just about right
你和他 正说要分开
nǐ hé tā zhèng shuō yào fèn kāi
You and him were about to break apart
我以为你 已对他不再期待
wǒ yǐ wéi nǐ yǐ duì tā bú zài qī dài
I thought you no longer had any expectations for him
不纵容他 再给你伤害
bú zòng róng tā zài gěi nǐ shāng hài
And wouldn’t allow him to hurt you anymore
我以为我的温柔 能给你整个宇宙
wǒ yǐ wéi wǒ de wēn róu néng gěi nǐ zhěng gè yǔ zhòu
I thought my gentleness could give you the entire universe
我以为我能全力 填满你感情的缺口
wǒ yǐ wéi wǒ néng quán lì tián mǎn nǐ gǎn qíng de quē kǒu
I thought I could try my best to fill that empty space in your heart
专心陪在你左右 弥补他一切的错
zhuān xīn péi zài nǐ zuǒ yòu mí bǔ tā yī qiē de cuò
And be by your side always to compensate for the mistakes he made
也许我太过天真 以为奇迹会发生
yě xǔ wǒ tài guò tiān zhēn yǐ wéi qí jì huì fā shēng
Maybe I was overtly naïve to assume that a miracle could happen
我以为终究 你会慢慢明白
wǒ yǐ wéi zhōng jiū nǐ huì màn màn míng bái
I thought you would slowly understand eventually
他的心 已不在你身上
tā de xīn yǐ bú zài nǐ shēn shàng
That his heart was no longer focused on you
我的关心 你依然无动于衷
wǒ de guān xīn nǐ yī rán wú dòng yú zhōng
You remain unmoved by my love for you
我的以为 只是我以为
wǒ de yǐ wéi zhī shì wǒ yǐ wéi
My assumptions were just my assumptions
我以为我的温柔 能给你整个宇宙
wǒ yǐ wéi wǒ de wēn róu néng gěi nǐ zhěng gè yǔ zhòu
I thought my gentleness could give you the entire universe
我以为我能全力 填满你感情的缺口
wǒ yǐ wéi wǒ néng quán lì tián mǎn nǐ gǎn qíng de quē kǒu
I thought I could try my best to fill that empty space in your heart
专心陪在你左右 弥补他一切的错
zhuān xīn péi zài nǐ zuǒ yòu mí bǔ tā yī qiē de cuò
And be by your side always to compensate for the mistakes he made
也许我太过天真 以为奇迹会发生
yě xǔ wǒ tài guò tiān zhēn yǐ wéi qí jì huì fā shēng
Maybe I was overtly naïve to assume that a miracle could happen
他让你红了眼眶 你却还笑着原谅
tā ràng nǐ hóng le yǎn kuàng nǐ què hái xiào zhe yuán liàng
He made you cry your eyes out and yet you forgave him with a smile
原来你早就想好 你要留在谁的身旁
yuán lái nǐ zǎo jiù xiǎng hǎo nǐ yào liú zài shuí de shēn pang
It turns out you’ve decided long ago, by whose side you will remain
我以为我够坚强 却一天天地失望 (却输得那么绝望)
wǒ yǐ wéi wǒ gòu jiān qiáng què yī tiān tiān dì shī wàng (què shū dé nà me jué wàng)
I thought I was strong enough but I’ve lost hope as the days go by (but I’ve lost with all disparity)
少给我一点希望 希望就不是奢望
shǎo gěi wǒ yī diǎn xī wàng xī wàng jiù bú shì shē wàng
Give me less to hope for; and hope will not turn into expectations
