I'm afraid I'll fall in love with you, perhaps one day I won't be able to help it
想念只让自己苦了自己 爱上你是我情非得已
xiǎng niàn zhǐ ràng zì jǐ kǔ le zì jǐ ài shàng nǐ shì wǒ qíng fēi dé yǐ
Yearning only makes myself suffer, falling in love with you is something I can't help
爱上你是我情非得已
ài shàng nǐ shì wǒ qíng fēi dé yǐ
Falling in love with you is something I can't help
