輕輕，落在我掌心，靜靜，在掌中結冰。
相逢，是前世註定，痛並，把快樂嘗盡。

明明，話那麼寒心，假裝，那只是叮嚀。
淚盡，也不能相信，此生，如紙般薄命。
我慢慢地聽，雪落下的聲音，
閉著眼睛幻想它不會停，
你沒辦法靠近，絕不是太薄情，
只是貪戀窗外好風景。
我慢慢地品，雪落下的聲音，
彷彿是你貼著我叫卿卿，
睜開了眼睛，漫天的雪無情
誰來賠這一生好光景？

只是太愛你- this is so sad

原諒我真的喝醉了　因為我真的想你了
一不小心就被寂寞　吞噬了愛著你的快樂
我知道這樣不應該　也知道你會受傷害
只是不想再讓自己　對你太過依賴

我明白　你給的愛　是真實地存在
只是我　不懂得如何去愛
才會讓你想離開

因為我不知道　下一輩子　還是否能遇見你
所以我今生才會　那麼努力　把最好的給你
愛你都變成傷害你　我們的愛快要窒息
不是故意　只是太愛你

原諒我真的喝醉了　因為我真的想你了

只是我　不懂得如何去愛
才會讓你想離開

心淡, can i do it?

想不起
怎麼會病倒 不分好歹 連受苦都甜美
我每日捱著 不啋不理 但卻捱不死
又去痴纏你 難道終此一生 都要這麼 不可爭一口氣
很謙卑
只不過是我 太過愛你 連自尊都忘記
跌到極麻木 只好相信 又再爬得起 就會有轉機~
若我不懂憎你 如何離別你 亦怕不會飛
由這一分鐘 開始計起 春風秋雨間
限我對你以 半年時間 慢慢的心淡
付清帳單 平靜的對你熱度褪減
一天一點 傷心過這 一百數十晚
大概也夠我送我來回地獄又折返人~間
春天分手 秋天會習慣
苦沖開了便淡
說甚麼再平反 只怕被迫一起更礙眼
往後這半年間 只愛自己
雖說不太習慣 畢竟有限 就當過~關 -黃偉文

沒有去試過 怎知它錯
就算我錯了 亦必須繼續

沒有你愛我 問怎可脫俗
那管它世界未原諒我
多奢侈的夢 一朝醒覺時盡變空
你看我時沒有淚容 愁懷懸在半空
明天縱多苦痛 命運繼續來
一點不放鬆
明天冷風吹送 面上有熱情 仍流過
明天縱多苦痛 命運繼續來 一點不放鬆
明天冷風吹送 面上有熱情 仍是我 - 向雪懷

My 一生所愛., Warren

從前現在過去再不來
紅紅落葉長埋塵土內
開始終結總是沒變改
天邊的你飄泊白雲外
苦海翻起愛恨
在世間難逃避命運
相親竟不可接近
或我應該相信是緣份
情人別後永遠再不來
無言獨坐放眼塵世外
鮮花雖會凋謝
但會再開
一生所愛隱約
在白雲外
苦海翻起愛恨
在世間難逃避命運
相親竟不可接近
或我應該相信是緣份
苦海翻起愛恨
在世間難逃避命運
相親竟不可接近
或我應該相信是緣份 - 唐書琛
