English translation:stop saying these lies, they can't never make me stay
Explanation:
i heard this song, and i think the singer says 别说这种"行话", 那里留得住我
行话 means professional slang, something that an outsider can't understand, then it could be said to deceive someone=lies


so you cherish me so much,
but i never noticed when we were so in love
please stop saying these lies, they can't never make me stay
you know very well the reason why we broke up

  -> 谢谢改正, 我将检查"行货"的普通话翻译, 不过在普通话里"行话"正有您所指出的陈腔滥调那个意思
