When you're trying to be better,
When you're trying so hard to please her
Everything and every sign tells you not to deter
Are you sure you're making yourself better?

Would she complete you if you were together?
Look at the mirror, what do you prefer?
A lot of things that you should consider
Know yourself, you might end up in a blunder

You believed everything wasn't a squander
Giving you mixed signs which left you to wonder
You want to approach her, but too afraid to confer
Lost opportunity, unspoken thoughts that makes you ponder

Thinking this might be over,
Trying your luck on a four-leaf clover
Taking a chance as jumping on the cliffs of Dover
Is it over?

When you're trying to be better,
Are you miserable and bitter?
When the lights are on, and they start to flicker
Don't be a ******* quitter

When you're trying to be better,
People mock you like litter
You don't mind it, you're not a hitter

Hard not to think about it at the back of your head
Bring yourself to your own happy shed

What did I do wrong?
*My head is eating me up like thinking of a long lost song
Parang kailan lang tayo'y nagkasama.
Puno ng ngiti at maliligayang sandali.
Madalas tayong magkausap,
Chat sa gabi, text sa umaga.
Magdamagang pag-uusap sa skype
hanggang sa sumikat ulit ang araw.
Kinaumagahan, nagtatanungan ng
"May lakad ka ba?"
"Gusto **** sumama?"
"Tara, saan?"
"Kahit saan, basta kasama ka."

Minsan gusto kong tumigil ang pagtakbo ng oras
tuwing magkausap at magkasama tayo,
ang bilis kasi, kasing bilis
ng pagtibok ng puso ko tuwing
tinititigan mo ako sa mata.
Di mo namamalayan ang pagtakbo
ng oras 'pag masaya ka.

Kasing bilis rin ng pagtakbo ng oras
pagbabago ng atensyon na ibinigay mo.
Ewan ko na lang ngayon,
kung bakit kadalasan
iniiwan mo na lang ko ng basta-basta.
Hindi ko alam kung saan ako nagkulang.
Kung pwede pa nga lang makasama
kita sa lahat ng oras, ginawa ko na.
Pero hindi rin pwede
kasi may kanya-kanya tayong buhay.

Siguro minahal kita ng sobra-sobra
kaya hindi ko nakita
ang mgapagkukulang at pagkakamali ko.
O kaya ay laro lang sa iyo ang lahat.
Para kasing pinakilig mo lang ako saglit
tapos iniwan mo ako kung kailan mahal na kita.
Iniwan mo ako ng wala man lang sinabing dahilan.
Talo muna ngayon.
Hindi pa naman katapusan ng mundo kaya ngingitian na lang kita.
Scorched* from the pain
Bleeding from the vain
Why oh why do I still need you for my gain?
Still crawling back to you, though you told me not to

I cannot complain
You're the one I choose
Making you feel that you're one in a million
A shining star that I would never have found

I am in no rush
Patient with every stroke of your brush
Gentle with every touch, don't want to get burnt
Once more, with a world full of hurt

I don't want to go back
Living life in my mundane shack
Without you I cannot cope
You are my sugar that balances me on my tightrope

When I reached the end
I thought you weren't there
Like those who have left
Leaving me there without a care
This heart I share
Protect it like a bear
Vulnerable and bare

You are my coffee, my bitter-sweet honeybee
What a morning, a lot of things to do
Worrying about the things past due
Overlooking the wonderful blessings, like the beautiful glistening dew
I know it's been a rush, but don't forget about you.

A lot of things to do, eating more than what you can chew
I found an old shoe, wouldn't you have time to care about it too?
Wondering if it has a story too, like where you got your irritating flu.
*******, I have no clue.

Somebody sees when you're feeling blue,
Don't turn them down and give them a *******.

Slow down and chill on a plateau,
Have a coffee with me, there are a lot of things that we don't know
*Life is but a ride, sit back and enjoy the show.
I apologize for the expletives
Are we the ones, it got me thinking
Are we the ones, buried and sinking
Are we the ones, happy and singing

This generation, we are the ones
Making a difference, are we the ones?
We have a choice, we have our voice
Don't dwell on the past, say I
Plan ahead and look forward into the future,
Learn the ways and have a keen eye
Beautiful moments, taken with a picture

But do not forget that the present is what we live for
All that matters is that we live through the downpour
You feel like you want to run away,
Every time you feel you want to take a flight
But you still can't help it but to feel that fright
Believe in yourself, taking not a sway

You feel like you want to run away,
Turning you gray and showing you what may
Something hinders and tells you not
Break free and untie that knot
