But in exchange, there's only continuous silence as if laughing and joking with me no longer attract you
But your movements of touching your lips seem to flirt with passersby

The more I ask, the more heartbroken I become, clearly there's no room for further questioning

Clearly knowing that a sincere kiss will have a deeper and warmer texture
The more we kiss, the more heartbroken I am, still, being confused is my fault

Clearly knowing that our love is no longer deep, why bother asking about distance

But in exchange, there's only continuous silence as if you've long felt no attraction towards me

Ask about the rumors of the intimacy between you and him behind your interactions
The more I ask, the more heartbroken I become, clearly there's no room for further questioning

Clearly knowing that our love is no longer deep, there's no point in forcing closeness

Detailed Insights
The lyrics of "越吻越伤心" convey the internal conflict of trying to salvage a relationship where affection has faded. The protagonist's questions about their partner's actions—such as their cold eyes, indifference, and lack of emotional engagement—reveal their growing frustration. Despite the protagonist's attempts to reconnect, each gesture of affection, like a kiss, only deepens their heartache. The repeated realization that their love is no longer as deep as it once was highlights the futility of trying to rekindle what has already faded.
The song's recurring theme of "the more I ask, the more heartbroken I become" encapsulates the emotional toll of questioning a love that is no longer reciprocated. The protagonist's confusion and sense of self-blame are evident in the lines "still, being confused is my fault," showing a sense of guilt despite the partner's clear emotional withdrawal. The lyrics ultimately reflect the pain of loving someone who no longer feels the same, emphasizing the difficulty of accepting that the relationship is beyond repair.
