每晚回到家里带半残废身躯
入睡床没法睡杂念来又去
往往仍记起你过去共你一起
所经过多得可以编写几次传记
分享我的兴趣分担我各样顾虑
在绝处一刻拥抱等於给我圣水
你去後令我发现笑声有罪踏步也失据
剩下自己怎可走到尾
遇挫折孤身撑起好东西独自回味
最极刑是剩下自己彷佛单脚企
任我再努力逃避终须一跌没余地
假使我昨日单身走过去
没有经历和你一起的壮举
今天要我独居应不会难受到想死去
惯了共你一半吃喝共你一碗
是幕僚是友伴幸运和自满
这晚上再想你记挂共你一起
所经过的多么美多么回肠荡气
分享我的兴趣分担我各样顾虑
在绝处一刻拥抱等於给我圣水
你去後令我发现笑声有罪踏步也失据
剩下自己怎可走到尾
遇挫折孤身撑起好东西独自回味
最极刑是剩下自己彷佛单脚企
任我再努力逃避终须一跌没余地
假使我昨日单身走过去
没有经历和你一起的壮举
今天要我独居应不会难受到想死去
实在是世事难料剩下自己怎可走到尾
遇挫折孤身撑起好东西独自回味
最极刑是剩下自己彷佛单脚企
任我再努力逃避终须一跌没余地
最绝情是剩下自己怎可走到尾 (Ah多么多么的想你)
遇挫折孤身撑起好东西独自回味 (极痛恨遗憾美)
最极刑是剩下自己彷佛单脚企 (我会试试今天起)
任我再努力逃避终须一跌没余地 (习惯剩下自己)
假使我昨日单身走过去
没有经历和你一起的壮举
今天要我独居应不会难受到想死去

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of 蔡卓妍's song 二缺一 express the emptiness and loneliness that the singer feels after the departure of her loved one. The first stanza depicts her struggle to fall asleep due to the countless thoughts swirling in her mind, most of them are centered around memories of her past with her lover. She reminisces about the good times they shared, including their mutual interests and how they used to share their struggles with each other. She misses his embrace during her darkest moments, which felt like a source of holy water, and now she feels lost without him. The second stanza speaks of the difficulties of moving on. It is hard for her to let go when she used to share everything with him, and she cannot even imagine moving forward alone. She describes the feeling as if she is trying to walk with one foot.

The chorus repeats the idea that the toughest punishment is being left alone. Even though she tries to ignore the pain, she realizes that it is impossible to escape. She regrets not cherishing their moments together more, and now she is left with the bittersweet memories of their shared experiences. She wonders if she could survive living without the person who became not just her partner, but also her confidante and ally.

Overall, the lyrics express an intense longing for the past and the difficulty of moving on. The singer feels that some things can only be shared with one specific person and that losing them is the ultimate pain.
