Top 20 Best Chinese Love Unrequited Songs

'I hear the sound of rain falling on the green grass mat

Hear the bell ringing after school echoing in the distance

But I don't hear your voice

Casually calling out my name

When I loved you, I didn't know my heart

It's only when we're apart that I understand what it means to be unforgettable

Why didn't I realize that meeting you

Was the most beautiful thing in this life

Perhaps back then I was too busy playing and crying lightly

Chasing shooting stars across the sky

The person who will never forget

Is the one who quietly stood there protecting me in the rain and wind

It turns out you are the luck I want to hold onto the most

It turns out we once came so close to love'

It turns out, I also had a tiny luck like that, the only luck I wanted was you. Yet, I remained indifferent, failing to recognize that. In the end, we just lingered in mutual unrequited love, never able to meet at any common point.

'I can't resist, especially when night falls

Missing you so much that I can't breathe

Hating myself for not being able to come to you immediately

And yelling loudly to you that

I'm willing, willing for you

I'm willing to forget my own name for you

Just to be warm in your arms for one more second

Even if I have to trade the whole world, I'm willing'

Finally, I'm willing to let another woman sing for you, to let another woman take care of you instead of me. I'm willing to step back to give you happiness, I'm willing to do everything for you. We said only blessings, no goodbyes, because I know the one-sided journey, we walk together, has come to an end.

'The past and the present

Slowly falling for you,

Slowly reminiscing

Then slowly aging together, getting old with you

Because slowly is the best reason'

So slowly, so gently, and so naturally, I gradually fall for you, gradually immerse myself in this unidirectional feeling. Forever are the scenes of our happiness, but they are really, really slow, so slow that they almost disappear.

'If I were to say I'm the fireworks over the ocean

You would be the surging waves

So every moment would be illuminated by me for you

If I were to say I'm the distant Milky Way

Shining so brightly it makes people want to shed tears

You would be the eyes always watching me

Always gazing up at the night sky when lonely

You could follow behind me forever

Like a shadow chasing the dreamy light

You could wait at this intersection

Whether I pass by or not

Each time you look up because of me

Even your tears feel free'

The pursuer of light at the end of that road, the one chasing the brightest light, that's you, only you chase after distant things like twinkling stars. The one chasing that unrequited love may be tired, may be disappointed, but joy is you. In the end, because of loving too much, whatever happens, you're still willing to be the one pursuing the light.

'Later on, when I finally learn how to love

Regretfully, you vanished amidst the vast crowd

Later on, within my final tears, I finally understand

There are those, once lost, never to be found again

The pale white petals of the sơn trà tree

Gently falling onto my green dress

You softly say: “I love you”

I catch a whiff of a fragrant scent

...

How will you remember me?

Will you smile or just sit silently?

In recent years, has anyone lessened your loneliness?

Later on, when I finally learn how to love

Regretfully, you vanished amidst the vast crowd

Later on, within my final tears, I finally understand

There are those, once lost, never to be found again'

Unrequited love full of regret then is the purest remaining emotion of all. Later on, no matter what, only regret remains, regret for not being able to express to each other, regret for being afraid and losing each other forever, eternal regret for not being able to have a future. It's truly regretful later on when you realize you've loved someone, but that person is no longer who they were back then.

'Suddenly this moment feels so familiar

Like the reel of yesterday and today playing simultaneously

Turns out your tone in this sentence sounds just like yours

That's evidence proving we once loved each other

Almost fooled myself, fooled you

Loving and being loved aren't necessarily connected

Knowing love is also a stroke of luck

But I have no way to surrender myself

For you, I tried to change myself

But couldn't change the predestined story

Thought just being with you meant forever

Still thinking it's yesterday

Why has yesterday gone so far away'

Thank you for those years we could meet, be together, and find each other. However, in the end, regretfully it's not you, it's not us walking to the end of the road together, but just me and the remaining love. Later on, regretfully, it's still not you...

'You once said you'd take me everywhere, but halfway you returned to the starting point,

Drowned in countless self-blames.

Suddenly realized I couldn't be apart from you, I decided to return, but you were no longer there...

I can accept all your lingering grudges.

I can take you out to eat lots and lots of delicious food.

I can surprise you with little sweet treats.

Just like in the past..

Every day, I'll surprise you with joy.

If you're in pain, I can heal you.

Only you, can bring happiness to me.

Let's not be apart anymore.'

Can or Can't, let's not be apart anymore, let's not keep hiding emotions in our hearts. The torment, the pain, and the despair are enough, not complicated but just that's enough. The road ahead, I will only be strong for you, but I hope you can, can you?

'Even if the sky suddenly pours rain, I won't seek shelter anywhere

Because I know there's someone beside me protecting me

Waiting for the day even if a comet crashes into the earth

No worries, because you're by my side

I feel safe'

It's still that love, because of you everything becomes truly perfect, truly secure, truly beautiful in my eyes. However, are those things really just for me to receive? It's still that peaceful world created by you, because of you it exists, a world too dependent on you, just hoping you understand.

'I no longer have the right to love you

Our past cannot be reclaimed

Breaking up feels both strange and familiar

You cry because you like to cry

I owe you the words: 'I love you'

Which I've kept hidden for so long

Some loves will always remain a secret

And beautiful things will be preserved in memory

I once wanted

The whole world to know that I love you

Yet in the end, we couldn't be together

You found me, the right person at the wrong time

Perhaps it's all the will of heaven'

We don't know what else to do other than blame fate, blame destiny for not allowing us to find each other in this lifetime. In the end, I no longer have the right to love you, no right to care, worry about you because we are nothing to each other, because this nameless relationship has come to an end. I will always owe you those three words of love, a formal confession. That secret unrequited love will always be buried deep inside me, within us like memories. But truly, I always wanted the whole world to know I love you...!

'Hastening years, countless times we've said goodbye only to linger afterward

Regret that no one loves without enduring the ups and downs of love

In those fleeting years, we hastily exchanged hard-to-accept promises

Then could only wait for others to fulfill

Don't blame the kiss that hasn't sealed into a scar

Even a long winter's sleep can't sprout wings

Don't blame this relationship for not having enough time to practice more

This is the tolerance that time grants to that flawed period'

Those hastening years, we couldn't grasp each other, be together, or find each other. In those fleeting, beautiful years, we couldn't express our hearts' desires, only to bid farewell in silence, in the rush of parting regretfully.

Love isn't about possession, it's about letting go, not giving up. Sometimes, letting go is a manifestation of profound love, releasing so the one we love can find happiness, letting go for them to embrace better things, letting go to grant each other new choices. It may cause pain, yet it can also foster resilience. Loving is creating a space of freedom for them to thrive while enduring ourselves, that's the anguish of love from one side. Simply because we cannot possess in love...

'Rain erases all memories, the departed

Like waves drifting far from shore, farewell

Flowers bloom only to wither, indifferent

All the time we spent together

Why can't we move on?

Oh beloved

Loving more only leads to a more bitter end

I won't return

Knowing you're gone, alone

Raindrops, silent

Evoking memories of past dreams

Just me, walking fast

Against the tide of love

Erasing the silhouette

Like a dreamy breeze, mingling scents

Touching your pale cheeks, withering

Here remain memories, forever yearning

I've sailed far away'

That's unrequited love, perhaps not even unrequited but always lonely and sorrowful in one's own relationship just because of the indifference, the coldness of those who seem to love each other the most. Until realizing it's all just one's own affectionate nature.

'The day we let go at that crossroad... still feels like an illusion until now.

Even as tears fall... you still don't understand my sorrow.

Each photo resembles a scene of farewell.

I'm still hoping... someday... maybe someone will understand.

I have a small wish... don't need to be spoken but can be heard.

Every today quickly becomes yesterday.

The more I hope to see you, the less likely I am to meet you.

The more I hope to get closer... the seemingly further apart we are.

The harder it is, the more I want to pursue.

When will my dream stop shattering... is the next crossroad you?

Whether we let go or not, I always hope'

The next crossroad, I always hope that you are there waiting for me, standing there so we can meet even just for a moment and then part ways. Even if we let go at that crossroad, seeing each other afterwards may give us the strength to move on despite the lingering sadness. So, is the next crossroad you...?

'Checking the Phone, Still No Message

I Don't Even Know What I'm Waiting For

Flipping Through the Diary, Abandoned Midway

Regret Comes Too Late

I Don't Even Have Memories of You
We Were Never Really Apart

We Might Have Been Within Reach Amidst the Crowd

But That Can't Be Called Meeting

And That's Just How It Is

You Disappear Like a Drop in the Ocean.

I Will Never Meet You Again

It's Our Unspoken Agreement

Disappointment Turns into Determination

But I Still Insist on Staying in This Warm Water.

I Will Never Meet You Again'

Keeping distance isn't about hating, perhaps it's because I've grown too fond of you. I keep waiting, until every tear falls. The physical wounds only hurt for a moment, but your deceit will hurt me for a lifetime. Knowing we liked each other, why should we be apart? Sitting side by side yet feeling like strangers.

'Why does the snow fall so thick, so genuine

Reflecting my heartache amidst that snow

Quiet night, that's love

Subtly controlling my heart

Reminding me to always listen to love

The music has stopped yet it's still love

Step by step swallowing my heart whole

Loving you, I lost myself

Love so genuine, so deeply profound

But still, I hear you say the impossible'

Love is like a game, when we make choices for that game, no matter how hard we try, we can't go back to how it was at the beginning. When we stand behind watching someone leave, thinking we are affectionate, but then not daring to step forward. Few can understand the feeling of trying your best to love someone, but in return, getting only two words: 'love lost.'

'Let me slowly forget you

Forget what you said

Memories pierce through me

Just care too much

Let me slowly forget you

As if we never met

Last time I say to myself

Don't mistake me anymore

Too afraid

Helpless

How to face my broken heart

Best of all, let go'

In this life, finding each other is already so difficult, keeping each other requires more than just the word 'love.' Yet in the end, a seemingly light word cuts into the piece of love, shattering it into a hundred thousand fragments. Sometimes one has to cry all the tears, to make room for a heart flooded with smiles.

'No, I'm not satisfied with your good intention.
It's foolish to see you and still want to get closer
I'm just afraid to get closer
Can't get entangled in your image
Can't make you worry about me anymore
I want to tell you how much I like you
Blame me for not being able to control myself
I try to restrain, but how can love stop
The heat in you still lingers in your arms
Erase traces desperately, face your serious eyes
Forgive me for holding back tears'

When love has become a thing of the past, I still remember that 'I used to love you.' I would rather be lonely than love someone who is false. I only wish that time would stand still, so I can always see your smile. Sometimes the thing we are most persistent with disappears after a long night. Why should I see you as an exception when you put me on a long list?

'Every time I close my eyes, it's your image
Thinking of you forgets even my breath
Alone, I reminisce about our love
Hating myself for lacking courage
Truly miss you, really miss you
I lack the courage to tell you
Truly pay attention, really pay attention
Sorry, I don't want to lose you
We are still too childish
Still waiting for each other to apologize
A sorry, actually not worth paying attention to
Want to say love you, need courage
Truly miss you, really miss you
I lack the courage to tell you
Truly pay attention, really pay attention
Sorry, I don't want to lose you
Truly miss you, really miss you
I lack the courage to tell you
Truly pay attention, really pay attention'

Remembering someone without saying it out loud... the feelings told are strange... when together, not understanding enough to hurt each other... when leaving, feeling lonely... actually, it's because back then I didn't have the courage to stay with you... always making excuses... in the end, only hurting myself... If only those beautiful months and years could stay a little longer... that would be great...

'Only joy in that life

I know you like her. I know you're chasing after her. I know you hate me. I know if I keep liking you, there won't be a good result. I know you're graduating and I won't have a chance to see you again. I know. I know everything but I still can't stop liking you.

'You once said you didn't want a day for me to know how good she was to you.

You said you understood, the loss in my heart couldn't just rely on tolerance, it could be liberated.

I kept thinking I appeared just in time when she was saying goodbye.

I kept thinking you had no more hope in her.

No more chance for her to keep hurting you.

I kept thinking my tenderness could give you the whole world.

I kept thinking I could fill all the voids in your heart.'

I liked you, really liked you, liked you foolishly, willing to do anything for you. But what about you? You only came to me when you were in pain because of her and wanted to find someone to fill the void. Damn it, I really want to ask if you've ever been sincere with me? But you've blocked me so I guess I don't need to ask you this question anymore, I also have my own answer. I hope you and her will be happy.
