最后的焰火持续燃烧你我

zuì hòu de yàn huǒ chí xù rán shāo nǐ wǒ

The last fireworks, burning continuously between us

面对面蜡像两座爱已逐渐消融

miàn duì miàn là xiàng liǎng zuò ài yǐ zhú jiàn xiāo róng

Face to face like two wax statues, love has gradually melted away

崩塌了做过的梦模糊了我们的面容

bēng tā le zuò guò de mèng mó hú le wǒ men de miàn róng

The dreams we made collapsed, blurring our faces

称呼和问候像放馊了的酒

chēng hū hé wèn hòu xiàng fàng sōu le de jiǔ

Calls and greetings, like spoiled wine

亲爱的叫不出口对白拼拼凑凑

qīn ài de jiào bù chū kǒu duì bái pīn pīn còu còu

I can't call you "my dear", the dialogue is pieced together

拥挤的房间里头塞不下我们的沉默

yōng jǐ de fáng jiān lǐ tóu sāi bù xià wǒ men de chén mò

In the crowded room, there's no space for our silence

或许故事已经告一个段落

huò xǔ gù shì yǐ jīng gào yī gè duàn luò

Perhaps the story has already come to an end

我不擦去你名字不可

wǒ bù cā qù nǐ míng zì bù kě

I can't erase your name

因为害怕回忆之中该死的承诺

yīn wèi hài pà huí yì zhī zhōng gāi sǐ de chéng nuò

Because I'm afraid of the damn promises in the memories

就让我们相信这是必然的结果

jiù ràng wǒ men xiāng xìn zhè shì bì rán de jié guǒ

Let's believe this is the inevitable result

转身之后只是个某某

zhuǎn shēn zhī hòu zhǐ shì gè mǒu mǒu

After turning around, we're just somebody

我不擦去你名字不可

wǒ bù cā qù nǐ míng zì bù kě

I can't erase your name

因为害怕人潮之中我还是回头

yīn wèi hài pà rén cháo zhī zhōng wǒ hái shì huí tóu

Because I'm afraid, amidst the crowd, I still turn back

在阳光下希望你会真的快乐

zài yáng guāng xià xī wàng nǐ huì zhēn de kuài lè

Under the sunlight, I hope you'll truly be happy

你我的名字再没有以后

nǐ wǒ de míng zì zài méi yǒu yǐ hòu

There's no future for our names

就当没遇过没有互相探索

jiù dāng méi yù guò méi yǒu hù xiāng tàn suǒ

Just pretend we never met, never explored each other

忘了对大海呐喊披着满天星斗

wàng le duì dà hǎi nà hǎn pī zhe mǎn tiān xīng dǒu

Forget shouting to the sea, wearing the full starry sky

叫着彼此的绰号笑得在怀里打哆嗦

jiào zhe bǐ cǐ de chuò hào xiào dé zài huái lǐ dǎ duō suo

Calling each other by nicknames, laughing till we tremble in each other's arms

就当没哭过没有署名寂寞

jiù dāng méi kū guò méi yǒu shū míng jì mò

Just pretend we never cried, never signed our loneliness

为何用满满的刺签收各种借口

wèi hé yòng mǎn mǎn de cì qiān shōu gè zhǒng jiè kǒu

Why use full thorns to sign off various excuses

眼看着满满的爱沦为无名氏的玩偶

yǎn kàn zhe mǎn mǎn de ài lún wèi wú míng shì de wán ǒu

Watching abundant love become nameless puppets

或许故事早已告一个段落

huò xǔ gù shì zǎo yǐ gào yī gè duàn luò

Perhaps the story has already come to an end

我不擦去你名字不可

wǒ bù cā qù nǐ míng zì bù kě

If I don't erase your name

一片流沙世界你像海市和蜃楼

yī piàn liú shā shì jiè nǐ xiàng hǎi shì hé shèn lóu

In a world of shifting sands, you're like a mirage in the sea

就让我们相信这是必然的结果

My perfect silhouette is already filled with sorrow

在阳光下希望你能找到快乐

zài yáng guāng xià xī wàng nǐ néng zhǎo dào kuài lè

Hope you'll find happiness in the sunlight

尽管那个名字不再是我

jìn guǎn nà gè míng zì bù zài shì wǒ

Even though that name is no longer mine

故事的开头到故事的最后

gù shì de kāi tóu dào gù shì de zuì hòu

From the beginning of the story to the end

从红着脸微笑着到红着眼泪流

cóng hóng zhe liǎn wēi xiào zhe dào hóng zhe yǎn lèi liú

From blushing smiles to tears streaming down

曾经熟悉的名字今后列为失踪人口
