miss you
鄭欣宜 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

每次说谎得我相信你
死心不息等转机
你知每次我都改变来就你
所以便更加得不到赞美
先说对不起我总苦练着谦卑
哪知就是自己将感觉杀死
没有尊严才可鄙惨胜亦是胜利
难道要爱你就要分尊卑

半句钟欢喜伤一世纪
I miss you 我自愿放弃
情愿以后没有你
离开好过共第四者争夺你
让我退到最尾让那些人尽情跪拜你
横竖我说了别离还有几个后备
I miss you 我自动放弃
情愿以后没有你
离开好过绝地向天求生机
再难亦要飞假装快乐陪着你
孤独时才意识这叫可悲

先说对不起我总苦练着谦卑
哪知就是自己将感觉杀死
没有尊严才可鄙惨胜亦是胜利
难道要爱你就要分尊卑
半句钟欢喜伤一世纪
I miss you 我自愿放弃
情愿以后没有你
离开好过用下辈子憎恨你
让我退到最尾让那些人尽情跪拜你
横竖我说了别离还有几个后备
I miss you 我自动放弃
情愿当做未识你
离开好过绝地向天求生机
再难亦要飞演出每场遗憾美

失落时才意识这叫可悲
委曲求全我不懂得爱你
