妳眼眶超载的眼泪 乘客是绝望和心碎
nǐ yǎn kuàng chāo zài de yǎn lèi chéng kè shì jué wàng hé xīn suì
Your eyes overloaded with tears, passengers are despair and heartbreak

我可以看见 妳忍住伤悲
wǒ kě yǐ kàn jiàn nǐ rěn zhù shāng bēi
I can see you holding back the pain

那一双爱笑眼睛不适合皱眉
nà yī shuāng ài xiào yǎn jing bù shì hé zhòu méi
Those pair of eyes that love to smile are not suitable for frowning

你目光独有的温暖 是不会熄灭的明天
nǐ mù guāng dú yǒu de wēn nuǎn shì bù huì xī miè de míng tiān
Your unique warmth in your gaze is the tomorrow that will never extinguish

我可以感觉 你没有说出口的安慰
wǒ kě yǐ gǎn jué nǐ méi yǒu shuō chū kǒu de ān wèi
I can feel the comfort you haven't spoken

远比我失去的更加珍贵
yuǎn bǐ wǒ shī qù de gèng jiā zhēn guì
Far more precious than what I've lost

手心的蔷薇 刺伤而不自觉
shǒu xīn de qiáng wēi cì shāng ér bù zì jué
The rose in the palm of your hand pricks without you realizing

妳值得被疼爱 你懂我的期待
nǐ zhí dé bèi téng ài nǐ dǒng wǒ de qī dài
You deserve to be loved, you understand my expectations

绚烂后枯萎 经过几个圆缺
xuàn làn hòu kū wěi jīng guò jǐ gè yuán quē
Brilliance fades after withering through several cycles

有我(你)在
