擋不住的太陽 – Aaron Yan 炎亞綸
(就是要你愛上我) 片尾曲
作詞：姚若龍
作曲：陳小霞
封鎖那些飄雪的回憶
迴避是用來保護自己
當堅強變無情再變距離
我的眼淚和微笑同時結冰
再也不信甜美的愛情
痛才詮釋了愛的宿命
妳的浪漫熱情傻到不行
但卻拉我走上了奇妙旅行
擋不住的太陽不管我抵抗
灑在我胸口最暗的地方
逼我把陰影都釋放
慢慢把心解凍之後變得滾燙
擋不住的太陽溫暖我眼光
學會溫柔的理解和原諒
推倒我灰色的圍牆
妳的彩色讓我晴朗又能夢想
打開一個誤解像開一扇窗
讓妳看見我最本來的模樣
表面剛強心裡迷惘
渴望誰懂我的冷酷等於害怕
擋不住的太陽不管我抵抗
灑在我胸口最暗的地方
逼我把陰影都釋放
慢慢把心解凍之後變得滾燙
擋不住的太陽溫暖我眼光
學會溫柔的理解和原諒
推倒我灰色的圍牆
妳的彩色讓我晴朗又能夢想
