心如刀割 [xīn rú dāo gē] [English translation]

My sky is grey,

my heart is blue

Touching your heart,

it's transparent

You're without a care in the world,

but I'm helpless

My heartache is actually

making you happy.

I don't really want to cling on to you,

but what makes me keep coming back?

Morning came as I spoke,

I taste a bitterness on my lips

I cried because of you,

but you left with him.

I joined the ranks

of all the sad characters* in the world

I loved because of you,

but you left with him.

I've willingly given you everything I can,

but I must let you know,

my heart's as if it's been cut by a knife.
