HEAVEN
(We are someone you don't want to understand.)
When you talk about us at the back, outsiders,
You may laugh as much as you like.
You may tease as much as you like.
You may guess as much as you like.
Or celebrate as much as you like.
It's difficult to run away from the doubts
and curiosity in people's eyes.
Should we face the truth?
Or we leave the truth?
Or we better die?
Or we better cry?
Perhaps we should agree to what people think is right.
We better admit what we have done.
We better accept we are losers.
We better acknowledge we are dead.
We better confess we are wrong.
Under the hailstorm and the heavy downpour,
Our cries and tears fall along with the rain,
But it's useless because
The world will never understand.
CHORUS
It's alright. I'm happy like I'm in heaven.
I like to hear that I'm wrong.
I like to see that I'm thrown away.
You're also on the verge of hopeless, my love.
Don't be afraid because I am the same. I will be with
you.
Soon, you will also get used to be thrown away.
Look! The grey red sky is stretching to our heaven.
Holding you towards the fire makes me feel fine.
Why the more mistakes I make, the happier I am?
I guess...
I'm happy like I'm in heaven.
I like to hear that I'm wrong.
I like to see that I'm thrown away.
You're also on the verge of hopeless, my love.
Don't be afraid because I am the same.
I will be with you.
Soon, you will also get used to be thrown away.
Look! The grey red sky is stretching to our heaven.
The more we love each other, the deeper we fall.
