從未知道你最好

By 陳展鵬

拿得起 忘不到怎麼傾訴
塵封的 全將它關進地牢
騰空出這雙手可會做到
重拾笑容重學會擁抱
曾渾渾噩噩由年月虛耗
曾寂寂寞寞地暗天昏才獨舞
無從勸告 而緣份這麼虛無
誰相信會遇着你 時間剛好
曾行過每段路 遊進夜霧
去找消失的國度
而幸福總太遠 塵埃滿布
站近些更難目睹
曾亦跌倒 迷惘急躁 才決定
情願一個去住進荒島
曾行錯那段路 呈上傾慕
你都收不到訊號
而夢想總太遠 前方太暗
在哪一處尋樂土
逃避醉倒 才會心高氣傲
從未知道你是最好
難道關上眼才看得到
離不開 留不低怎麼傾訴
留戀的 能伸手偏向後逃
迷失的兩顆心可會做到
無盡旅途陪伴至終老
曾行過每段路 遊進夜霧
去找消失的國度
而幸福總太遠 塵埃滿布
站近些更難目睹
曾亦跌倒 迷惘急躁 才決定
情願一個去住進荒島
曾行錯那段路 呈上傾慕
你都收不到訊號
而夢想總太遠 前方太暗
在哪一處尋樂土
逃避醉倒 才會心高氣傲
從未知道你是最好
難道關上耳才聽到
跌進夜霧 憔悴趕路
太多傷心感嘆號
而幸福總太遠 塵埃滿布
直到傷勢痊癒好
緣份已經 無意中開了路
從未知道你是瑰寶
憑藉心眼愛才看得到
城寨英雄 片尾曲
