Lyrics
剛結束一段戀情的我，想要開始新戀情，卻在心底放不下曾經那個她，深怕給妳虧欠。
剛繼承家業的妳，想要面對眼前的愛情，卻在心底承受壓力，深怕事業愛情兩頭空。
兩個懷著心事的男女，兩顆害怕受傷的心，註定彼此擦身而過。
Song Story:
I had just ended a relationship and wanted to start a new one, yet I couldn’t let go of the one I once loved, afraid of owing you a debt of the heart.
You had just inherited your family business and wanted to embrace the love before you, yet you carried the weight of pressure deep inside, afraid of losing both career and love.
Two people, each carrying their own burdens, two hearts afraid of getting hurt—destined to be nothing more than passersby in each other’s lives.

【Verse 1】
妳甘相信 啥物是一見鍾情無？ 我想這袂是亂講的話
你相信什麼是一見鍾情嗎？我想這不是隨便說的話
Do you believe in love at first sight? I don’t think this is just casual talk.
自從彼日咱熟似了後 妳的笑容打動我的真心
自從那天我們相識後，你的笑容打動了我的真心
Since the day we met, your smile touched my true heart.
我開始期盼閣見著妳 我看的出妳想欲愛我
我開始期盼再次見到你，我看得出你想愛我
I began to hope to see you again, and I can tell you want to love me.
只是我猶原放袂落 心肝底猶有另外一個伊
只是我仍然放不下，心底還有另一個她
But I still can’t let go—there’s still another her in my heart.
⸻
【Pre-Chorus】
我想欲的重新開始 敢是對妳真歹勢
我想要的重新開始，是否對你很抱歉
The new start I want—could it be unfair to you?
妳目睭內彼款清灣 偏偏予我感覺虧欠
你眼中那份清澈，偏偏讓我感到虧欠
The clarity in your eyes makes me feel indebted.
咱去墾丁約束彼一工 我真想欲牽妳的手
我們去墾丁約會那天，我真的想牽你的手
That day we went to Kenting, I really wanted to hold your hand.
⸻
【Verse 2】
妳敢是佇試探我的心？ 我想這嘛是一个機會
你是不是在試探我的心？我想這也是一個機會
Are you testing my heart? I think this is also a chance.
自從彼日咱熟似了後 妳的笑容我真放袂記
自從那天我們相識後，你的笑容我真的忘不了
Since the day we met, I really can’t forget your smile.
我開始向望閣見著妳 妳看得出我想欲愛妳
我開始期盼再次見到你，你看得出我想愛你
I began to hope to see you again, and you can tell I want to love you.
妳猶原放袂落過去 心肝內到底有偌濟代誌
你依然放不下過去，心裡到底有多少事
You still can’t let go of the past—just how much is in your heart?
⸻
【Pre-Chorus】
妳想欲的美麗愛情 敢是對我真歹勢
你想要的美麗愛情，是否對我很抱歉
The beautiful love you want—could it be unfair to me?
我開喙講的攏是真心 為啥妳猷原躊躇
我說出口的都是真心，為什麼你依然猶豫
What I said is all sincere—why do you still hesitate?
咱去墾丁約束彼一工 妳甘想欲牽我的手
我們去墾丁約會那天，你是否想牽我的手
That day we went to Kenting, did you want to hold my hand?
⸻
【Bridge】
妳想的我攏知影 妳的表情我全部看見
你想的我全都明白，你的表情我全看見
What you’re thinking, I understand completely; I can see it all on your face.
我想的妳猶未了解 我的真心妳看袂出來
我想的你還不明白，我的真心你看不出來
What I’m thinking, you still don’t understand—my true heart, you can’t see it.
⸻
【Chorus】
我想欲的重新開始 敢是對妳真歹勢
我想要的重新開始，是否對你很抱歉
The new start I want—could it be unfair to you?
妳目睭內彼款清灣 偏偏讓我感覺虧欠
你眼中那份清澈，偏偏讓我感到虧欠
The clarity in your eyes makes me feel indebted.
咱去墾丁約束彼一工 我真想欲牽妳的手
我們去墾丁約會那天，我真的想牽你的手
That day we went to Kenting, I really wanted to hold your hand.
⸻
【Outro】
凡勢彼日的妳閣我 攏有勇敢向前行一步
或許那天的你和我，都能勇敢向前一步
Maybe that day, you and I could have taken a brave step forward.
無定今生的妳閣我 咱會是一段美麗的故事
或許今生的你和我，會是一段美麗的故事
Maybe in this life, you and I could be a beautiful story.
有緣無份就是按呢 保持距離嘛是一件好事
有緣無份就是這樣，保持距離也是一件好事
Fate without destiny is like this—keeping distance can also be a good thing.
就予這段美麗的回憶 藏佇心底永遠袂開
就讓這段美麗的回憶，藏在心底永遠不開
Let this beautiful memory be hidden in my heart, never to be opened.
