About This Track

'別勉強 (Don't Force It)' by 鄧紫棋 (G.E.M.) is a 2019 track from the album '摩天動物園 (City Zoo)'. The lyrics sketch a bruised romance, where love turns fraught when the lovers cling too tightly, and where any attempt to sort out who fell first and who quit last only deepens the hurt. In the main vocal sections, G.E.M. addresses the futility of making things work, with an exchanged, call-and-response feel that frames tenderness as something that has already turned into damage. The refrain pivots on moving past a misstep and letting it go, rather than forcing a lasting match.

"別勉強 (Don't Force It)" is a track by 鄧紫棋 (G.E.M.), from the album 摩天動物園 (City Zoo), released 27th December 2019. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

別勉強 (Don't Force It)

[主歌一: G.E.M.,  Eric Chou]

無所謂一開始誰先愛上了誰

也別追究最後誰先放棄了誰

再相愛的刺蝟

越抱緊越心碎

只能怪我們不是天生一對

至少證明我們愛得多麼純粹

才會把彼此都愛到傷痕累累

原來回憶再美 不

過一場誤會

就讓它一去不回

[副歌: G.E.M.,  Eric Chou, G.E.M. & Eric Chou]

別勉強

走向到不了的遠方

愛不是對承諾逞強

你累了

你哭了 夜深了

還醒著, 我捨不得讓你

太勉強

你知道我如此堅強

孤獨我早晚會習慣

我們的, 我們的

這首歌唱不完

就別勉強

[主歌二: G.E.M., G.E.M. & Eric Chou]

年輕的我們把街燈當成月亮

天真地慶祝屬於我們的浪漫

夢敵不過天亮

太自由的想像

才讓我們都受傷

[副歌: G.E.M.,  Eric Chou, G.E.M. & Eric Chou]

別勉強

走向到不了的遠方

愛不是對承諾逞強

你累了

你哭了 夜深了

還醒著, 我捨不得讓你

太勉強

你知道我如此堅強

孤獨我早晚會習慣

我們的, 我們的

這首歌唱不完

就別勉強

[過門: Eric Chou, G.E.M. & Eric Chou]

走調的鋼琴

聽著依然熟悉

耳朵其實想忽略刺耳的聲音

但也許愛你

是必須懂得抽離

這或是我們最後的默契

[副歌: G.E.M.,  Eric Chou, G.E.M. & Eric Chou]

別勉強

走向到不了的遠方

愛不是對承諾逞強

你累了

你哭了, 夜深了

還醒著, 我捨不得讓你

太勉強

你知道我如此堅強

孤獨我早晚會習慣

我們的, 我們的

這首歌唱不完

就別勉強
