二缺一

By 蔡卓妍

每晚回到家裏 帶半殘廢身軀
入睡牀沒法睡 雜念來又去
往往仍記起你 過去共你一起
所經過多得可以編寫幾次傳記
分享我的興趣 分擔我各樣顧慮
在絕處一刻擁抱等於給我聖水
你去後令我發現
笑聲有罪 踏步也失據
剩下自己 怎可走到尾
遇挫折孤身撐起 好東西獨自回味
最極刑是剩下自己 彷彿單腳企
任我再努力逃避 終需一跌沒餘地
假使我昨日單身走過去
沒有經歷和你 一起的壯舉
今天要我獨居應不會
難受到想死去
慣了共你一半 吃喝共你一碗
是幕僚是友伴 幸運和自滿
這晚上再想你 記掛共你一起
所經過的多麼美多麼迴腸蕩氣
實在是世事難料
最絕情是剩下自己 怎可走到尾
遇挫折孤身撐起 好東西獨自回味
最極刑是剩下自己 彷彿單腳企
任我再努力逃避 終需一跌沒餘地
