十月十八我生日这一天
Shi yue shi ba wo sheng ri zhe yi tian

蜡烛熄灭后浮现你的脸
La zhu xi mie hou fu xian ni de lian

你说祝我生日快乐
Ni shuo zhu wo sheng ri kuai le

但还有话挂在嘴边
Dan hai you hua gua zai zui bian

你说你身边多了一个他
Ni shuo ni sheng bian duo le yi ge ta

之后伤人的话你不想讲
Zhi hou shang ren de hua ni bu xiang jiang

你说你会怀念或纪念
Ni shuo ni hui huai nian huo ji nian

谢谢你我该说声感谢
Xie xie ni wo gai shuo sheng gan xie

我不屑纪念这一天我们分别
Wo bu xie ji nian zhe yi tian wo men fen bie

我不屑怀念你的嘴喊着抱歉
Wo bu xie huai nian ni de zui han zhe bao qian

我后来发现你的侧脸
Wo hou lai fa xian ni de ce nian

只是我脑子里面的一点残缺
Zhi shi wo nao zi li mian de yi dian can que

一点残缺
Yi dian can que

但还有话你挂在嘴边
Dan hai you hua ni gua zai zui bian

我不屑怀念你的脸欲止又言
Wo bu xie huai nian ni de nian yu zhi you yen

忘了说抱歉的是我才对
Wang le shuo bao qian de shi wo cai dui

October 18th – my birthday.
The candles went out and your face appeared,
And you wished me happy birthday
But there was something more on the tip of your tongue.
You said you’d found someone else,
But you didn’t want to say anything else that would hurt me.
You said you’d always remember us.
I should speak up and thank you.

I don’t want to remember the day we split,
I don’t want to remember you screaming you’re sorry.
Eventually I find your profile,
Has lost a little inside my mind,
Lost just a little.

But there was something more on the tip of your tongue,
I don’t want to remember your face as you wondered if you should say it,
I should be the one that forget to say I’m sorry. -?? It might just be because it’s 3am, but the Chinese looks like it could mean “I forgot I should be the one to say sorry”
