Lyrics of "Half Drunk and Half Sober":
If I had known better for a while, I would have become water flowing in the east. I would like to be half sober and half drunk. Separation is also a relief, and I will no longer accompany you for the rest of my life. It takes pain to understand that love is not perfect. Sad tears, one after another. You just go away and leave me heartbroken. After drinking all this loneliness, why can't I get it back? Your looking back, your following. Even though I knew you were leaving, I saved you again and again. The pain that I can't quit is the sadness you gave me.
The memories are too ambiguous and will collapse late at night. Infatuated people are always defenseless. If I had known deeply for a moment, I would have become water flowing in the east. I would like to be half sober and half drunk. Separation is also a relief, and I will no longer accompany you for the rest of my life. It takes pain to understand that love is not perfect. Who can understand that exchanging infatuation for heartbreak? Leaving half a bitter smile and half tears. If I can recall the past, I will only feel heartbroken. It's all my fault that this feeling backfired and turned into ashes. Even though I knew you were leaving, I saved you again and again. The pain that I can't quit is the sadness you gave me.
The memories are too ambiguous and will collapse late at night. Infatuated people are always defenseless. If I had known deeply for a moment, I would have become like water flowing in the east. I would like to be half sober and half drunk. Separation is also a relief, and I will no longer accompany you for the rest of my life. It takes pain to understand that love is not perfect. Who can understand that exchanging infatuation for heartbreak? Leaving half a bitter smile and half tears.
