We both live
Two worlds apart

I live, not worrying about what tomorrow brings for right now, everything’s okay
He lives, lonely every day,
but holding on for a better someday

I live for what is here, close to me, something I can reach, someone I can touch
He lives for what will be, far away, something he will reach, someone he will touch

I live for the daily laughters, the ongoing memories, afraid of what is to come
He lives for that better day, somewhere far away, forgetting to live in what is now

We both live two worlds apart
That’s why we forget to meet
In the in-between
Of what is now, and what is to come

Don’t worry, it’s okay
To hit the pause button
Whenever it’s too much

You can’t hit replay
You can’t fast forward
But you can take a break

Then you hit play again
When you’re ready
When you’re better

So you can fix what
You wished to replay
So you can live on
And move forward

Mahal, tahan na
Di mo kasalanan
Kung hindi ikaw
Ang pinili niya

Mahal, tahan na
Di ka nagkulang
Di niya lang batid
Ang iyong nararamdaman

Mahal, tahan na
Di na magbabago
Ang sakit at pighati
Na ramdam ng ‘yong puso

Every day she walked
Trailing people she loves
Wishing they’d look back
Give her a glance
Or stop for a little while
Though they never did
So she begun to collect scraps
Like pieces they left over
Or trash they throw at her
Useless little things
That she kept as mementos
For when she goes to sleep
Because she believes
Its a little better
To have a piece of them
Than nothing at all

Everyone loves the sun
Who brightens everyone’s day
They talk about her light, her warmth,
her radiance on display
She’s perfect, they always say

But what happens when
The clouds begin to form
When the sun’s brightness dims
and out comes the storm?
She’s still there, isn’t she?

But why isn’t she loved
the same way anymore?
