Yoga Lin — Lie (林宥嘉–說謊)

English translation of the lyrics of Yoga Lin’s <Lie>, or <Fairy Tale>.

 

I did have some not-bad relationships
so I wasn’t that lonely after all
But maybe I was a bit dissolute
making the others feel insecure
so eventually none of them worked out.

I’m not haunted by shadows or demons
you don’t really have to mind about it.
I’m not weak at all
not to mention it wasn’t that hurtful
It is how’s love like anyway

No, I’m not lying.
Why do I need to lie?
You know me good enough to know that
I never pretend in front of you
Of course I didn’t lie.
Please, you think you’re that unforgettable?
I’m not faking a smile and acting tough.

I haven’t been to this restaurant for so long.
I didn’t expect them to have changed the interior decoration already.
I could smell the scent of roses
at the corner next to the window.
Yeah right, now I do remember a bit when you mentioned it.

No, I’m not lying.
Why do I need to lie?
You know that one my shortcomings is that I have a bad memory.
Of course I didn’t lie.
Still, thanks for your company tonight.
I can’t believe I’m a bit not used to it anymore.

No, I’m not lying.
Why do I need to lie?
It’s not that of a big deal
when you want to love someone but you couldn’t make it
Don’t say I’m lying.
Life is already so difficult
Could you just not reveal some things?
No, I’m not lying.
It’s “love” that’s lying.
It brought you here and lied to me that
there was hope for what I’d longed for
No I’m not lying.
I wish you being the happiest bride.
Just forget the feelings I have on my mind.
