白費

By 關心妍

沒你擁抱着 仿似遺失安眠藥
紅着眼重讀你的短訊 或瞓得着
奉獻出信任 給你無止境劃裂痕
連合照亦未捉緊 已在手震
准許我定個限期 邊哭邊掛念你
無謂在半夜扎醒突然想起你
若我良善 才給拋棄 為何又不得不憎你
陪着我因要別人妒忌
完全白費 曾為你犧牲一切
淪落到活着就如獻世 耗掉半生做爛泥
連哭都怕失禮 明白每段孽緣總是華麗
就算恨你一世 也是枉費
沒太多快樂 都有回憶感動別離
誰在意日夜癲倒 繼續想你
准許我定個限期 邊哭邊掛念你
無謂在半夜扎醒突然想起你
若我良善 才給拋棄 為何又不得不憎你
陪着我因要別人妒忌
完全白費 曾為你犧牲一切
淪落到活着就如獻世 耗掉半生做爛泥
連哭都怕失禮 明白每段孽緣總是華麗
沒法恨你一世 已是枉費
你只掉低一個迷 隨眼淚流下一點點的安慰
我怎麼支撐到底 不惜一切 無後悔或是執迷
淪落到活着就如獻世 耗掉半生做爛泥
連哭都怕失禮 明白每段孽緣總是華麗
就算恨你一世 也是枉費
