张信哲 - 过火 (Jeff Chang - Overboard)
作词 (Lyrics): 陈佳明
作曲 (Composer): 曹俊鸿
是否对你承诺了太多 还是我原本给的就不够
shì fǒu duì nǐ chéng nuò le tài duō hái shì wǒ yuán běn gěi de jiù bù gòu
Did I promise you too much, or was what I gave never enough?
你始终有千万种理由 我一直都跟随你的感受
nǐ shǐ zhōng yǒu qiān wàn zhǒng lǐ yóu wǒ yī zhí dōu gēn suí nǐ de gǎn shòu
You always have countless reasons, I’ve always followed your feelings
让你疯 让你去放纵 以为你 有天会感动
ràng nǐ fēng ràng nǐ qù fàng zòng yǐ wéi nǐ yǒu tiān huì gǎn dòng
Letting you go crazy, letting you indulge, thinking one day you'll be moved
关于流言 我装作无动于衷
guān yú liú yán wǒ zhuāng zuò wú dòng yú zhōng
Regarding the rumours, I pretended to be indifferent
直到所有的梦已破碎 才看见你的眼泪和后悔
zhí dào suǒ yǒu de mèng yǐ pò suì cái kàn jiàn nǐ de yǎn lèi hé hòu huǐ
Until all the dreams were shattered, only then did I see your tears and regret
我是多想再给你机会 多想问你究竟 爱谁
wǒ shì duō xiǎng zài gěi nǐ jī huì duō xiǎng wèn nǐ jiù jìng ài shéi
I really want to give you another chance, I want to ask, who do you really love?
既然爱 难分是非 就别逃避 勇敢面对
jì rán ài nán fēn shì fēi jiù bié táo bì yǒng gǎn miàn duì
If love makes it hard to tell right from wrong, don’t run, face it bravely
给了他的心 你是否能够 要得回
gěi le tā de xīn nǐ shì fǒu néng gòu yào de huí
After giving him your heart, can you still get it back?
怎么忍心怪你 犯了错 是我给你自由 过了火
zěn me rěn xīn guài nǐ fàn le cuò shì wǒ gěi nǐ zì yóu guò le huǒ
How could I bear to blame you for making mistakes? It was my fault for giving you too much freedom
让你更寂寞 才会陷入感情漩涡
ràng nǐ gèng jì mò cái huì xiàn rù gǎn qíng xuán wō
Making you lonelier, leading you to fall into a whirlpool of emotions
怎么忍心让你受折磨 是我给你自由 过了火
zěn me rěn xīn ràng nǐ shòu zhé mó shì wǒ gěi nǐ zì yóu guò le huǒ
How could I bear to see you suffer? It was my fault for giving you too much freedom
如果你想飞 伤痛我背
rú guǒ nǐ xiǎng fēi shāng tòng wǒ bēi
If you want to fly, I'll bear the pain
是否对你承诺了太多 还是我原本给的就不够
