Because I don't know if I can meet you in the next life
所以我今生才会 那么努力 把最好的都给你
suǒ yǐ wǒ jīn shēng cái huì nà me nǔ lì bǎ zuì hǎo de dōu gěi nǐ
So I work so hard in this life to give you the best
爱你都变成伤害你 我们的爱快要窒息
ài nǐ dōu biàn chéng shāng hài nǐ wǒ men de ài kuài yào zhì xī
Loving you has turned into hurting you, our love is suffocating
不是故意 只是太爱你
bù shì gù yì zhǐ shì tài ài nǐ
It's not intentional, just too much in love with you

Short Summary

Detailed Insights
The song begins with the narrator admitting their mistakes, specifically how their overwhelming love for the person has led to hurt. The repeated line "Forgive me, I'm really drunk because I really miss you" signifies a vulnerability born out of deep longing, while "Carelessly, loneliness devoured the joy of loving you" highlights how isolation and emotional turmoil have tainted their relationship.
The song's theme revolves around the narrator's realization that they are unknowingly causing harm through their love. The lyrics “It’s just that I don’t know how to love, which makes you want to leave” express a painful self-awareness of their inability to manage their feelings, leading to the eventual loss of connection. The desire to give the best and work hard for the relationship is juxtaposed with the suffocating nature of their love, as shown in the line "Loving you has turned into hurting you, our love is suffocating." The phrase "It's not intentional, just too much in love with you" encapsulates the tragic irony of the situation: love, in its purest form, has become the source of pain and heartbreak.
