殘忍

By 黃伊汶

從來我沒有 沒有一種武器
就獻身去保護你
發展一里 都知難成大器
我都啞忍不理
為何愛着你 又要唉聲嘆氣
無資格攻陷你
白費心機走八千公里迎合你
明白放棄會避免落到這種田地
其實你殘忍 想兇手現身
攻擊我到最後再不可轉身
我現在離去 再不會難堪
前路要撐下去 就算只得一個人
寧願我殘忍 拋低這男人
睇穿你 你以為你優先收尾
我這樣離去 你總會難堪
情願要看着你 被我拋低的那種結尾
(難度要看着我 被你拋低的那種結尾)
從來你沒有為愛委屈求存
為我心軟都避免
為你花光所有心機徒勞白費
你竟不睬不理
原來你沒有做到刻骨銘記
夜半跟那位入戲
若你卑鄙我都堅決留住你
明白愛你就會令我辛苦自己
如若你冇運氣
遇個相差跟我千百里
