Tia Lee - 是我不夠好

By xiaokhat - May 25, 2016




I never realized I am soo outdated that I didn't know Tia released a single!

Read the lyrics, it's all nice. It was written as if the writer is speaking to himself, then ending the song with a realization/decision.

It's not easy to let go of love, but if it just makes you feel worthless, why continue hurting yourself? Most of the time, letting go is the best option.

The MV is also nicely shot as well. Using boxing to represent the emotional battles and all, it feels very empowering, very feminist. It's like telling every woman in that situation to be strong and stand up for yourself. That a woman is strong, far from what the world stereotyped for centuries.

Women from the 21st century are strong and can stand on their own!

Translated lyrics below:

愛情裡面的成份 有多少比例是對等
Ai qing li mian de chen fen   You duo shao bi li shi dui deng
The ingredients of love, how to balance its proportions?
你在等的那個人 投入是否也一樣深
Ni zai deng de na ge ren   Tou ru shi fou ye yi yang shen
The person for whom you wait, are they just as committed as you?
其實我們都不笨 看得出他愛有幾分
Qi shi wo men dou bu ben   Kan de chu ta ai you ji fen
In truth, we aren't stupid. We can see how little he loves.
他喜歡忽熱忽冷 讓他世界保持可能
Ta xi huan hu re hu leng   Rang ta shi jie bao chi ke neng
He likes it suddenly hot, and then suddenly cold, so he can keep his options open

是我還不夠好 所以他不願承認
Shi wo hai bu gou hao   Suo yi ta bu yuan cheng ren
I'm not good enough, so he doesn't want to admit,
承認他還想要鬧 保持這曖昧就好
Cheng ren ta hai xiang yao nao   Bao chi zhe ai mei jiu hao
Admit that he still wants trouble, that this ambiguity is fine
是我還不夠好 所以他不願承認
Shi wo hai bu gou hao   Suo yi ta bu yuan cheng ren
I'm not good enough, so he doesn't want to admit
承認我對他的好 承認我到底有多重要
Cheng ren wo dui ta de hao   Cheng ren wo dao di you duo chong yao
Admit how well I treat him, how important I am to him
也許我不重要
Ye xu wo bu chong yao
Maybe I don't matter

也許該下定決心了 別再為不值得的人
Ye xu gai xia ding jue xin le   Bie zai wei bu zhi de de ren
Maybe it's time to make a decision, to stop when people aren't worth it
付出再多 不懂心疼 別再消費我的青春
Fu chu zai duo   Bu dong xin teng   Bie zai xiao fei wo de qing chun
To stop giving everything when they don't care, to stop wasting my youth

是我還不夠好 所以他不願承認
Shi wo hai bu gou hao   Suo yi ta bu yuan cheng ren
I'm not good enough, so he doesn't want to admit,
承認他還想要鬧 保持這曖昧就好
Cheng ren ta hai xiang yao nao   Bao chi zhe ai mei jiu hao
Admit that he still wants trouble, that this ambiguity is fine
是我還不夠好 所以他不願承認
Shi wo hai bu gou hao   Suo yi ta bu yuan cheng ren
I'm not good enough, so he doesn't want to admit
承認我對他的好 承認我到底有多重要
Cheng ren wo dui ta de hao   Cheng ren wo dao di you duo chong yao
Admit how well I treat him, how important I am to him
也許我不重要
Ye xu wo bu chong yao
Maybe I don't matter

做他的朋友也好 做他的兄弟也好
Zuo ta de peng you ye hao   Zuo ta de xiong di ye hao
It's fine to be his friend, it's fine to be his brother
做他的甚麼都好 別做情人就好
Zuo ta de shen me dou hao   Bie zuo qing ren jiu hao
It's fine to be anything to him, as long as it's fine to not be his lover
別再去庸人自擾 還要傷自己多少
Bie zai qu yong ren zi rao   Hai yao shang zi ji duo shao
Stop pointlessly fussing, how much longer will you continue to hurt yourself?
才發現原來一個人 也能過的很好
Cai fa xian yuan lai yi ge ren   Ye neng guo de hen hao
Before realising that being alone can also be great?
一個人也很好
Yi ge ren ye hen hao
It's still great to be alone

Pinyin lyrics by me

At least, it is better to be alone
Strong is the new sexy 💪
