Lyrics (Original Chinese, Pinyin Romanization, and English Translation):

VERSE #1:

开了灯 眼前的模样
kāi le dēng yǎn qián de mú yàng
Turn on the light, the scene in front of the eyes

偌大的房 寂寞的床
nuò dà de fáng jì mò de chuáng
The spacious room, the lonely bed

关了灯 全都一个样
guán le dēng quán dōu yí gè yàng
Turn off the light, it’s all the same

心里的伤 无法分享
xīn lǐ de shāng wú fǎ fēn xiǎng
The wound in the heart, unable to be shared

 
VERSE #2:

生命随年月流去
shēng mìng suí nián yuè liú qù
Life flows away with time

随白发老去
suí bái fà lǎo qù
turns old with gray hair

随着你离去 快乐渺无音讯
suí zhe nǐ lí qù kuài lè miǎo wú yīn xùn
leaves with you, no news of happiness

随往事淡去
suí wǎng shì dàn qù
fades away with the past

随梦境睡去
suí mèng jìng shuì qù
falls asleep with dreams

随麻痹的心逐渐远去
suí má bì de xīn zhú jiàn yuǎn qù
leaves with the numb heart

我好想你 好想你 却不露痕迹
wǒ hǎo xiǎng nǐ hǎo xiǎng nǐ què bù liú hén jì
I miss you, miss you, but no trace is left

 
CHORUS #1:

我还踮着脚思念
wǒ hái diǎn zhe jiǎo sī niàn
I’m still tiptoeing in missing you

我还任记忆盘旋
wǒ hái rèn jì yì pán xuán
I’m still letting the memories hover/spiral [over me]

我还闭着眼流泪
wǒ hái bì zhe yǎn liú lèi
I’m still shedding tears with my eyes closed

我还装作无所谓
wǒ hái zhuāng zuò wú suǒ wèi
I still pretend not to care

 
CHORUS#2:

我好想你 好想你 却欺骗自己
wǒ hǎo xiǎng nǐ hǎo xiǎng nǐ què qī piàn zì jǐ
I miss you, miss you, but I deceive myself

CHORUS #1

 
CHORUS #2

 
我好想你 好想你 却欺骗自己
wǒ hǎo xiǎng nǐ hǎo xiǎng nǐ què qī piàn zì jǐ
I miss you, miss you, but I deceive myself

我好想你 好想你 就当作秘密
wǒ hǎo xiǎng nǐ hǎo xiǎng nǐ jiù dāng zuò mì mì
I miss you, miss you, I’ll just make it a secret

我好想你 好想你 就深藏在心
wǒ hǎo xiǎng nǐ hǎo xiǎng nǐ jiù shēn cáng zài xīn
I miss you, miss you, so I hide it deep in my heart
