幸福
王菀之 Lyrics

These lyrics tell a story of unrequited love and the pain that comes with it. The singer, 王菀之, expresses how much she loves someone but feels unable to hold their hand or compare to another person who came into their life just half a second earlier. She is heartbroken at the thought of seeing him like someone else and feels guilty for liking two people at the same time. The singer asks how it is possible to bear witness to this and apologizes for promising that her heart would die and they would just be friends. She feels that even after a thousand years, it would still be too far to be together, making their love an agonizing one. She still keeps sweet text messages and cannot see through the situation.

The singer contemplates the possibility of seeing him again but worries that their friendship would turn into a brief love affair, which scares her even more than waiting for a long time. She feels that her love for him has become pure, while he has moved on to have a hundred children and grandchildren. She urges him not to worry about her and her feelings, as friends can love someone else without holding anything back. She acknowledges that being friends requires a lot of effort to achieve a romantic outcome, but she sees that the other girl is innocent and does not want to interfere. Even though her eyes are blurry, she still sympathetically realizes that the other girl is not at fault.

Despite the difficulties, the singer admits that she loves him even more, but sadly, her hands cannot hold him, and she cannot compare to the other girl who came into his life just half a second earlier. She questions how she can bear the pain of complaining again, even if their pure friendship was short-lived. She wonders if her heart can start anew and if he would choose her as well. She concludes by saying that if her friend is happy with someone else, she should not worry about her. She understands that her friend is already happy and has many people who do not make things difficult for him. Her eyes may be blurry, but she can see that the other girl is innocent. The singer implores him not to underestimate her happiness and not to avoid her because of love. She embraces the suffering that comes with happiness as a result of their love.
