淘汰 [Táo tài] [English translation]

Every lie I have told, you have believed

But a simple "I love you", is what you've never accepted

The story in your book, I don't want it played out

Because I like happy endings

I have tried to give up perfectly, and it was relieving

(I) woke and the dream faded; you and I walked apart

Why should love songs rhyme? Even if I'm the king of karaoke1

It doesn't seem that I have sung out love perfectly

It can only be said that I've lost; maybe you were afraid

Our memories have no wrinkles, but you have branded a full-stop down with your departure

It can only be said that I admit it, that your unease has earned your trust

and, in return, I've received your elimination of consolation
