I was asked if I believe in true love,
I was asked, how do I know it's real?
My answer is yes,
I truly believe it can be real,
But I really don't know.
It's something I've never got to feel.
I've had sweet lies,
And stories told about happy endings that never happen.
But me?
I'm just out here with my easel and paints,
Setting up camp with broken souls,
The ones I think will look beautiful,
Painted next to my own bruised and damaged soul,
And painting blindly,
Hoping to create a masterpiece.
taglamig
(former reedited title: taglamig,
at siya lang kaya ang dahilan?)
nung una pa lang,
ako'y namangha na
sa iyong ginagawa
ako rin ay lubusang
natutuwa sa matimyas
na hitsura ng iyong mukha
tila isa kang dalagang
pumukaw sa aking damdamin
iyong wangis parati
ang nasasalamin
bagkus, malayo ang ating agwat
bakit tila ako'y hindi papa-awat?
dahil kaya'y nasa lugar ka
na isa sa pinakagusto kong
puntahan at tirahan?
o baka naman itong
mismong lugar ko na tinitirahan
ay wala namang laman?
h'wag sana magpapahalata
ang langit sa aking kisame,
ang masulyapan ka'y
para itong asul sa taas,
kaniyang pisngi
ngayong Taglamig na
sa ating mga bayan o kanayunan,
kakaiba talaga ang aking
nararamdaman
sapagkat nasaan ka man,
sa trabaho mo o sa kaniyang
piling man,
marahil wala ng magagawa
ang tulad ko kundi
ang ipagdasal ang iyong
tanging kaligayahan.
Aking Kaagapay
Tila siya ang babaeng parang
hangin para sa aking hininga
Dagliang ito ay mahirap makita
Magiging kasundo sa
lahat ng bagay,
para bang damit
na bumabagay
Puwede bang
isipin na si babae ay
parang isang paboritong
kanta?
Puwede rin ba na si babae ay
maging parang
mga titik sa
librong binabasa?
Kung puwede lang sana..
na ganun nga
at makakasundo
sa maraming bagay—
Matatawag si babae na
aking kaagapay—
Verse 1:
If only I had more time,
Home would not seem so far.
I’m so far from home.
Did you forget you were my home?
‘Cause home is whenever we’re together.
I don’t know what to say or where to begin.
I won’t trade our love for anything.
No one will love you better than me.
Chorus:
If only we could getaway,
Home is a feeling I’ve buried in you.
I’m alright. I’m alright.
It only hurts when lies are believed to be true.
Freedom is shattering the lies
And making way for the truth.
I’ll be your anchor. I’ll be your everything.
If only we could be together, for eternity.
Verse 2:
If only I could be the one to guide you home,
The ocean waves crash onto shore.
The waves wipe away the messages in sand
That I’m trying to send to you.
If only we’ll become each other’s anchor,
Home will not seem so far.
Home is a feeling we’ve buried in each other.
If only time was on our side.
Bridge:
Are you ready to give your love to me?
Are you ready to make me your home?
‘Cause I’ve been thinking lately,
That you could be the one
That could save me from the misery.
If only, right here, right now,
We could become each other’s everything.
Home is a feeling we’ve built in each other.
tanging ang puso ay magsumamo
palagi raw matamis
ang "oo";
marami-rami
ang nagsasabing
kakilala ko
biglang tingin,
biglang liwanag—
mga awitin nating
nababanaag!
—kumusta ka
lahing bituin?
kay tanyag mong
piliin—
sana lang—sa
hapon na ito,
tanging ang puso
ay magsumamo
Verse 1:
I carefully craft an image of you
In my mind.
But, sometimes, the reality does not match
The illusion in our dreams.
This is not how it should end
But, how it should begin.
Tell me: where do we go from here?
Chorus:
I am getting over you.
Though, the pace was slow.
I never needed to test my feelings for you.
But, you, you felt the need to test the waters.
Now, I’m left with nothing but our memories.
You got me in unbound memories.
You shattered my soul and spirit.
Verse 2:
Though, I don’t need to know your sins.
You will be a scarlet letter for the world to see.
Your past continues to haunt you.
Christ cannot save you from your sins.
You confessed your sins to me.
You dragged me along yet
Always looked for someone better.
Bridge:
If only you could see
That I know your story
Better than anyone,
We could become each other’s everything.
Though, I don’t know what lies ahead,
I’ll follow you wherever you will go.
Our lives are caged in together.
I feel lost
I don't feel like myself
I feel unsure
I feel insecure
I just want to feel normal
I want to feel like I did before
I want to feel like I'm wanted
I want to feel like I'm worth something
I want to be pursued
I want to be enough for you
Conversations seem sincere
All of the unanswered questions have a response
Are they true
You say them like there is meaning
I still feel like im being duped
How can you explain yourself so well
But I still feel like there is more to tell
Standing in front of you
Asking for you to be truthful
I can take the pain
No need to lie
I'm not a child
I'm an adult
Quick acting like I'm making things up
I feel like I'm loosing my mind
All the while your actions keep proving me right
Depending on the day
Will determine my fate
Depending on the time
will deterime if i'm alright
Toxic or narcissist
I can not decide
What your doing to me
drives me to think I am unbalanced
One moment i'm fine
One moment i'm left hopeless
The vulnerability I feel
I despise it
Needing others is a joke
It's a challenge for me to depend upon you
I know how it will end
The same as the rest do
You tell me you love me
You show it sometimes
deep inside is a poisonious spirit
You draw me in and keep me to stay
I know i'm not your final destination
I don't understand why
I have always stayed true to me
I have always been honest
Why do I feel that you have something to hide
Never to share never to let me in
to help with your burden
I have the realization that this is my life
This is why I act just fine
But deep down inside
I am slowly dying knowing that I will never be
what you want
what you need
what you lust for
I will always just be me
