From the recording 假装不爱 (Pretending I Don’t Care) (feat. Sky 凌天宇)
This Mandarin Pop duet explores the struggle of hiding our true feelings behind walls of self-protection. We navigate through fear, uncertainty, and the instinct to pretend we do not care, even when our hearts are desperate to be heard.
The lyrics reflect on the tension between vulnerability and safety, revealing how past wounds can make it difficult to express love openly. Beneath the silence, denial, and emotional distance lies a longing for genuine connection and the courage to finally speak the truth.
This emotional anthem ultimately reminds us that real strength is not found in hiding our feelings, but in risking honesty, embracing vulnerability, and choosing love despite the possibility of getting hurt.
Lyrics
(Hmm hmmm)
我學會把表情鎖住
臉上什麼都沒有
I keep my hands in my pockets
Like I don't feel the cold
Every question hits the surface
I just let it go
你靠得那麼近
我卻退後一步
Not because I don't want you
I'm just scared of the truth (yeah)
(Hold it in)
心跳太大聲
我怕你會聽見
Every word stuck in my throat
Every glance a loaded gun
If I open up this moment
I don't know who gets burned
(I look at you)
(I wonder why)
我假裝不愛
假裝無所謂
I say I'm fine, I swear I don't care
But it's a lie, it's always there
你轉身離開
我卻整夜不睡
I play it cool, I play it dead
But I scream your name inside my head
I do care (不再假裝)
Don't be scared (oh baby) say
I laugh at things that cut too deep
Like it's just a joke to me
你問我想不想留下
我說隨便都可以
Truth is
I rehearse confessions in the dark at 3am
But daylight makes a coward
Out of everything I am
(Don't shake)
如果我說我在乎 (oh)
你會不會離開 (oh)
I'm standing on a fault line
Afraid to choose a side
Every scar I never showed you
Is screaming to be alive
Say it, say it to me (say it baby)
我不想再假裝
不想再逃避
I'm tired of this silent war
I'm tired of protecting me
就算會受傷
我也想靠近
If you’re the fire, let me burn
At least you'll know I meant every word (yeah)
(Ooh yeah)
我還是害怕 but I'm still here
我還是害怕 but I'm still here
