Lyrics
Intro – Instrumental
Verse 1 male vocal
愛情似一座迷樓
情深卻換不來溫柔
妳笑容像雲似夢
我心事暗暗向天求
真心寄付在歌裡頭
字字句句盡是哀愁
夜半燈影人獨守
怕一句拆穿手也牽不久
Chorus 1 male vocal
愛著妳困在情網難逃
甜言似煙 醉人心頭
為妳癡夢難休
一步一嘆難走
漸漸沉淪在幻影的樓
明知妳心早有他人留
卻還聽得那溫語溫柔
唱一曲迷魂的歌謠
全世界早已知曉
我只對自己說我聽不到
Verse 2 male vocal
妳的情給得太少
我癡心卻無從計較
將相思寫成小調
才發覺句句皆是煎熬
問自己他何以好
虛情假意卻難推掉
最怕是夢醒來了
怕夢破後朋友也做不了
Chorus 2 male vocal
謊言如一柄無形的刀
割碎心頭痛到難以逃
幻夢終究難保
追隨到天涯海角
學飛也飛不出這情牢
掙不開這無情的套
偏偏學不會忘卻依靠
縱使神佛來祈禱
天使也為我歌詠
我對著自己說我做不到
Instrumental Solo
Final Chorus male vocal
愛著妳困在情網難逃
甜言似煙 醉人心頭
為妳癡夢難休
一步一嘆難走
漸漸沉淪在幻影的樓
明知妳心早有他人留
卻還聽得那溫語溫柔
唱一曲迷魂的歌謠
全世界早已知曉
我只對自己說我聽不到
Summary: The song tells of a man entrapped in love, comparing affection to a prison he cannot escape. He devotes himself to a woman who offers little warmth, yet her sweet words bind him like chains. Though he knows her love is false and destructive, he remains helpless, lost in illusions and unable to break free. It is a lament of obsession, betrayal, and the sorrow of clinging to a love that only brings pain.
