歌詞

每次當苦惱失意
漆黑的K房裡圍住
喉嚨呼出每個生字
這歌詞原來碰倒他痛苦處

＊要吐苦水也許我不願意
瀟灑分手裝作太輕易
然而啤酒仍苦得相當諷刺
讓我關門利用咪高峰哭喊幾次

沒有歌怎敢說心事
受了傷始終怕別人知
我和你吻別在無人的街
張學友唱出我的情節

沒有歌怎敢說心事
受了傷點首更絕情詩　(始終怕別人知)
你的背包讓我走的好緩慢
陳奕迅那首歌是唱得他自己

沒有歌做人
只懂苦唱怎去遮風避雨

REPEAT＊

每次當苦惱失意
Whenever I feel down and troubled

漆黑的K房裡圍住
Surrounded by the darkness of the KTV room

喉嚨呼出每個生字
I sing every word out loud from my throat

這歌詞原來碰倒他痛苦處
The lyrics actually touch upon my painful experiences

＊要吐苦水也許我不願意
Maybe I don't want to pour out my sadness

瀟灑分手裝作太輕易
And pretend that breaking up was easy for me

然而啤酒仍苦得相當諷刺
But ironically, even beer tastes bitter to me

讓我關門利用咪高峰哭喊幾次
So I close the door and sing my heart out with the karaoke machine

沒有歌怎敢說心事
Without any songs, how can I express my emotions?

受了傷始終怕別人知
I'm afraid that others will know about my pain

我和你吻別在無人的街
We said goodbye with a kiss on the deserted street
