Lyrics:
I get drunk sometimes and like freedom. I often make mistakes and lie, but I always feel guilty.
I have encountered many bad friends and learned to be greedy for the new and dislike the old. I have also owed many women.
I was afraid that I would only keep my promise for three minutes when I got married. I once said I would quit smoking, but I just said it.
I have set my dreams and aspirations very low, but I am tired of reworking and have not been able to plan since I was a child.
But you are the only one who loves me, a loser, and you are willing to tolerate even mistakes.
However, no one knew that they would not match each other, but you were willing to wait.
Why do you still like me? I am such a scoundrel, but you are stupid or great.
Everyone here will tell you how bad my reputation is, but you will never be surprised.
Why bother with me, a scoundrel like me, who has been a failure for most of my life.
But you won’t change your mind even if you die, just keep smiling with me.
Even if it’s bad, I can’t bear to do it secretly.
The fate of rootless weeds is erratic. Who can do anything like you as my treasure?
I have enough old love to mark the end of my life here. I just want to be with you forever.
You are the only one on earth who loves a loser like me, and you are willing to tolerate even mistakes.
However, no one knew that they would not match each other, but you were willing to wait.
Why do you still like me, a scoundrel like me? Are you stupid or great?
Everyone here will tell you how bad my reputation is, but you will never be surprised.
Why bother with me, a scoundrel like me, who has been a failure for most of my life.
But you will never change your mind to laugh with me, even if you are bad, I can’t bear it.
You still like me, a scoundrel like me, but you are still a great person if you are stupid.
Everyone here will tell you how bad my reputation is, but you will never be surprised.
Why bother with me, a scoundrel like me, who has been a failure for most of my life.
But you won’t change your mind to fight with me till death, and no one else can bear to secretly make trouble.
