说的未来到底多久才来
总是要来不及 才知道我可爱
我想依赖而你却都不在
应该开心的地带 你给的全是空白
一个人假日发呆 找不到人陪我看海
我在幸福的门外 却一直都进不来
你累积给的伤害 我是真的很难释怀
最后才把话说开 哭着求我留下来
终于看开爱回不来 我们面前太多阻碍
你的手却放不开 宁愿没出息求我别离开
你总是要我乖慢慢计划将来
我的眼泪却一直掉下来
过去怎么交代你该给的信赖
被你亲手缓缓推入悬崖
从我脸上的苍白 看到记忆慢下来
过去甜蜜在倒带 只是感觉已经不在
而我对你的期待 被你一次次摔坏
已经碎成太多块 要怎么拼凑跟重来
终于看开爱回不来 而你总是太晚明白
最后才把话说开 哭着求我留下来
终于看开爱回不来 我们面前太多阻碍
你的手却放不开 宁愿没出息求我别离开
终于看开爱回不来 而你总是太晚明白
最后才把话说开 哭着求我留下来
终于看开爱回不来 我们面前太多阻碍
你的手却放不开 宁愿没出息求我别离开
The lyrics to "Dao Dai" by Cai Yilin talk about waiting for someone's plan that never comes to fruition, and how true love is difficult to find. The beginning lines of the song say that the singer has been waiting for someone's "plan" for so long, that they've lost sight of the future. Despite wanting to be with this person, there's a sense of distance between them. They've given their heart to this person, but they don't reciprocate.
The second verse paints a picture of happiness that's just out of reach because the singer is missing that special someone. They see people around them enjoying life and love, but they can't find joy because the one they love is absent, and their tears have become a constant companion.
The chorus repeats the sentiment that true love is hard to find, especially when one person is always in the dark. The singer struggles to let go and wishes the person they love would give them a chance. The song ends with the chorus echoing its message of lost love, leaving the singer questioning if they will ever find love.
Overall, "Dao Dai" is a beautiful and heartbreaking song about longing for love and waiting for something that may never come.

我受夠了等待 你所謂的安排
說的未來到底多久才來
總是要來不及 才知道我可愛
我想依賴而你卻都不在
應該開心的地帶 你給的全是空白
一個人假日發呆 找不到人陪我看海
我在幸福的門外 卻一直都進不來
你累積給的傷害 我是真的很難釋懷
終於看開 愛回不來 而你總是太晚明白
最後才把話說開 哭著求我留下來
終於看開 愛回不來 我們面前太多阻礙
你的手卻放不開 寧願沒出息 求我別離開
你總是要我乖 慢慢計畫將來
我的眼淚卻一直掉下來
過去怎麼交代 你該給的信賴
被你親手緩緩推入懸崖
從我臉上的蒼白 看到記憶慢下來
過去甜蜜在倒帶 只是感覺已經不在
而我對你的期待 被你一次次摔壞
已經碎成太多塊 要怎麼拼湊跟重來
終於看開 愛回不來 而你總是太晚明白
最後才把話說開 哭著求我留下來
終於看開 愛回不來 我們面前太多阻礙
你的手卻放不開 寧願沒出息 求我別離開
終於看開 愛回不來 而你總是太晚明白
最後才把話說開 哭著求我留下來
