Eason Chan - Brother & Sister

One of my favorite songs by Eason Chan. I find the lyrics' metaphor of 'brother and sister' really interesting, I absolutely love this song! Lyrics: Treat me well, treat me well, so well I have no way to retreat But I also really want someone to accompany me So I don't want to offend you, hence the detour One step forward, one step back, maintaining a safe distance This scheme makes me so ashamed Enjoying the taste of being loved, yet not letting you get any improper ideas So let us be hypocritical, don't waste the feelings A pair that cannot love each other, dear like two siblings Love makes us hypocritical, I get useless comfort You also get the chance to imitate loving someone Cruel yet merciful, this kind of relationship, you say, how perfect? Watching you, watching me, looking so ambiguously Being loved and loving someone are equally pathetic Why should I be defensive? When others offer me flattery Can't retreat, can't ask, afraid you'll misunderstand if I do Reminds me of who I once loved She who I wanted doesn't give, like a beggar, so卑微 (humble/lowly) So let us be hypocritical, don't waste the feelings A pair that cannot love each other, dear like two siblings Love makes us hypocritical, I get useless comfort You also get the chance to imitate loving someone Cruel yet merciful, this kind of relationship, you say, how perfect?
