Lyrics
[Verse 1 male vocal]
愛情似一座迷樓
情深卻換不來溫柔
妳笑容像雲似夢
我心事暗暗向天求
真心寄付在歌裡頭
字字句句盡是哀愁
夜半燈影人獨守
怕一句拆穿手也牽不久
[Chorus 1 male vocal]
愛著妳困在情網難逃
甜言似煙 醉人心頭
為妳癡夢難休
一步一嘆難走
漸漸沉淪在幻影的樓
明知妳心早有他人留
卻還聽得那溫語溫柔
唱一曲迷魂的歌謠
全世界早已知曉
我只對自己說我聽不到
[Verse 2 male vocal]
妳的情給得太少
我癡心卻無從計較
將相思寫成小調
才發覺句句皆是煎熬
問自己他何以好
虛情假意卻難推掉
最怕是夢醒來了
怕夢破後朋友也做不了
[Chorus 2 male vocal]
謊言如一柄無形的刀
割碎心頭痛到難以逃
幻夢終究難保
追隨到天涯海角
學飛也飛不出這情牢
掙不開這無情的套
偏偏學不會忘卻依靠
縱使神佛來祈禱
天使也為我歌詠
我對著自己說我做不到
[Instrumental Solo]
[Final Chorus male vocal]
愛著妳困在情網難逃
甜言似煙 醉人心頭
為妳癡夢難休
一步一嘆難走
漸漸沉淪在幻影的樓
明知妳心早有他人留
卻還聽得那溫語溫柔
唱一曲迷魂的歌謠
全世界早已知曉
我只對自己說我聽不到
[Summary: The song tells of a man entrapped in love, comparing affection to a prison he cannot escape. He devotes himself to a woman who offers little warmth, yet her sweet words bind him like chains. Though he knows her love is false and destructive, he remains helpless, lost in illusions and unable to break free. It is a lament of obsession, betrayal, and the sorrow of clinging to a love that only brings pain.]
