I wish I didn't fall in love, as being alone suits me the best
But now my will and entire being is put to the test.
If only I didn't meet the one I want to spend my life with
Because starting a family or buying a house, I can't afford it.
-
All my hard work is too slow to pay off.
I don't want to be incapable, underachieving and soft.
The pity I receive feels like I'm a laughing stock among my friends and peers.
The thought of such shame, I'd rather be alone and drown in my tears.
-
I'll do my best not to be haughty when I'm finally at the top!
It's just that I want to achieve my goals, I can't stop!
I want to have them before I turn to dust.
I feel like to be happy, fulfilling these things is a must.
-
I'm sorry, but isn't it you who designed me this way?
It seems in the purpose of my life, nothing goes smoothly, sad to say.
I'm sorry I feel discontented and anxious about my life's current state.
Surely in your hands, this won't be my last fate?
-
I don't want to resign myself to such a dim outlook.
Please don't let me be lonely when you close my book!
I still want to believe in you, I badly do!
I want to finish what you've started in me too.
