Just Once
Z-Chen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
放着你的旧地址
记得那长长的楼梯
每天守在你家门等你
一切就这样开始
你的眼神总是那么专注
填满我内心的孤独
只是爱情走到了半路
一切就这样结束
just once 让我再拥着你
just once 一起回忆过去
如果生命没有了你
我能找甚么人来代替
世界上有没有挛生的另一个你
再遇见你教我停止呼吸
原来爱情还有温度
你的离开
只是给我们再多时间
也不保证有效期限
一切再不像从前
just once 让我再拥着你
just once 一起回忆过去
刚好接到你一封信
如果生命中没有了你
信内说到你的恋情
我能找甚么人来代替
你和他之间充满美丽憧憬
世界上有没有挛生的另一个你
好想祝福却言不由衷心
不能自己
当我知道你们相爱
i cant help myself
失去了你
有了开始有了未来
just no one else
想替你开心 人却无法释怀
你曾是我的唯一
我的悲哀在眼底徘徊
我怎么舍得把你忘记
当我知道你们相爱
我的心底泛起许多无奈
just once 让我再拥着你
我的心在哭 我真的在乎
just once 一起回忆过去
此情难再
如果生命中没有了你
我能找甚么人来代替
世界上有没有挛生的另一个你
当我知道你们相爱
有了开始有了未来
想替你开心 人却无法释怀
我的悲哀在眼底徘徊
当我知道你们相爱
我的心底泛起许多无奈
我的心在哭 我真的在乎
你的离开
当我知道你们相爱
