Lyrics in Pinyin/Mandarin/English
tiān kōng huī de xiàng kū guò
天空灰得像哭过
The sky is as gray as if it has cried
lí kāi nǐ yǐ hòu bìng méi yǒu gèng zì yóu
离开你以后 并没有 更自由
After leaving you, I’m not any freer
suān suān de kōng qì xiù chū wǒ men de jù lí
酸酸的空气 嗅出我们的距离
The sour air smells of the distance between us
yī mù zhuī xīn de jié jú
一幕锥心的结局
A heartbreaking ending
xiàng hū xī bān wú fǎ tíng xī
像呼吸般无法停息
Can’t stop, just like breathing
chōu tì fàn huáng de rì jì

The yellowed diary in the drawer
zhà gān le huí yì

That smile was like summer

Our past is forgotten in a clockwise way
