以後別做朋友 [yǐhòu bié zuò péngyǒu] [English translation]

I used to listen to you share your life's details,

Afraid that I would destroy that perfect balance,

I kept a distance between our hearts,

So that you wouldn't be able to hear my loneliness.

I step back into the past as you fly into the future,

I met the right person, but I missed the point of intersection,

You are already standing right here in front of me,

But I just keep waving goodbye.

Let's not be friends anymore. Friends can't hold hands.

The impulse to love you, I can only smile and let it go,

Between best friends, some dreams can't be told,

Then I won't have to bear the heartache of losing you.

Drawing a safe boundary in the sky,

No one is allowed to shed tears for us,

Giving up the chance to really love someone,

Just to see you happy forever.

Let's not be friends anymore. Friends can't hold hands.

The impulse to love you, I can only smile and let it go,

Between best friends, some dreams can't be told,

Then I won't have to bear the heartache of losing you.

It's torture to hold myself back as I break down, but it's my own fault.

Memories are wounds that can never heal.

After everything, we're still friends. After everything, you still understand me the most.

We will have a beginning and an end, until the world ends,

As forever friends, give me your blessing, when I find love again,

I won't be a coward and hold tightly onto your hands.
