Cố để sửa chữaI’m trying to fix it,
Muốn như ngày xưawanting it to be like it used to be.
Chẳng thể được nữa đúng không?It isn’t possible anymore, is it?
Giờ phải làm sao nhờ?What should I do now?
Cố để sửa chữaI’m trying to fix it,
Mà hình như em chỉ càng làm thêm phức tạpbut it seems I’m only making it more complicated.
Thế phải làm sao?So what should I do?
Đâu là lời giải đáp mà mình cần?Where’s the answer that we need?
