Then suddenly she's jarred by the ringing of the phone[00:02:37]

Oh why do you ring now just when I want to be alone [00:02:42]

So she walks into the bathroom and drinks some water from a cup[00:02:47]
她走进浴室端起杯子喝了口水[00:02:55]

Separate us from each others' feelings[00:05:29]
是否真能分隔我们对彼此的感情[00:05:34]
