From the recording 感情的苦 (Love Hurts Like This)
This Mandarin R&B and Pop song explores the bittersweet experience of falling in love too deeply, too quickly, and discovering that sometimes the heart creates a future long before two people have agreed to share one.
The lyrics reflect on the painful gap between what was felt and what was actually promised. While one person is already imagining forever, the other never said they would stay.
Overall, this is a song about loving deeply without losing yourself. It is a bittersweet reflection on unspoken expectations, emotional overthinking, and the courage to love again after heartbreak.
Lyrics
咖啡冷了 我卻還坐在這裡
看著窗外成雙成對的背影
I smile like I'm fine, but I'm barely breathing
心跳藏在杯底 不敢出聲
我總是太容易 被一點溫柔打敗
一句關心 就讓我想得太遠
You laughed at my joke, and I memorized the sound
Already building futures you never found
夜路很長 我卻走得太快
把真心攤開 像沒學會防備
Every promise I made was never asked for
I loved like I was certain you'd stay
星空下散步 你靠得那麼近
我的世界開始有了姓名
I read between lines that weren't even there
Turning moments into something unfair
感情的苦 我一個人吞
笑著說沒事 卻快要失聲
You never promised me your forever
But I gave you mine without measure
感情的債 誰來還我
越認真 越容易錯
If loving deep is my mistake
I guess it's one I'll always make (yeah)
你開始沉默 手機放得太遠 (yeah)
回我一句話 要想很久時間
I told myself not to overthink
But my heart doesn't know how to blink
如果那天我少愛一點
是不是還能站在你身邊
You said you weren't ready to stay
I nodded like I understood anyway
原來心碎不是一瞬間
Every maybe sounded like a sign
I was crossing lines in my own mind (yeah)
感情的苦 我還是會吞
至少證明我認真過
If loving deep means getting hurt
I'll still choose it over dirt
某天再愛 我不會躲
只是學會慢慢走 (oh woah)
I'll plant my hope back in the ground
Let it grow without you around (ooh ooh)
