Lyrics in Pinyin/Mandarin/English
hū rán jiān háo wú yuán gù
忽然间 毫无缘故
Suddenly, for no reason at all
zài duō de ài yě bù mǎn zú
再多的爱 也不满足
No amount of love can satisfy me
xiǎng nǐ de méi mù xiǎng dào mí hu
想你的眉目 想到迷糊
I think of your eyes and eyebrows until I’m dazed
bù zhī bù jué ràng wǒ zhōng dú
不知不觉让我中毒
Unknowingly, I’m poisoned by this feeling
hū rán jiān hěn xū yào bǎo hù
忽然间 很需要保护
Suddenly, I badly need protection
jiǎ rú shì jiè yī shùn jiān jié shù
假如世界一瞬间结束
If the world ends in an instant
jiǎ rú nǐ tuì chū wǒ zhǐ shì shuō jiǎ rú
假如你退出 我只是说假如
If you withdraw, I’m just saying if
bù shì bù míng bái tài xiǎng kàn qīng chu
不是不明白 太想看清楚
It’s not that I don’t understand, I just want to see clearly too much
fǎn ér ràng nǐ de miàn mù biàn de mó hu
反而让你的面目变得模糊
But instead, your face becomes blurry
yuè zài hū de rén yuè xiǎo xīn ān fǔ
越在乎的人 越小心安抚
The more I care about someone, the more carefully I try to comfort them
fǎn ér lián yī gè wěn yě liú bu zhù

Yet I can’t even keep a single kiss
wǒ yě bù xiǎng zhè me yàng fǎn fǎn fù fù
