a song like you
would make me lost in the light
i do not even know if its right
to play it every night
put it on repeat to set the emotions tight
and remember the day when you helped me overcome my fear in heights
i loved it when you make my mood so light and my day so bright
promise i'll never forget the lyrics we wrote
i'm glad i had a chance to hear,
a song like you.

Masisisi mo ba ko?
Na bote nanaman ang kaagapay ngayong gabi
Na sa bawat pag-lunok ay naaalala ang tamis ng iyong mga labi

Masisisi mo ba ko?
Na hanggang ngayon di ko pa din maipaliwanag
Kung bakit naligaw tayo sa dapat nating puntahan

Masisisi mo ba ko?
Na sa bawat tawag na matatanggap
Tawa **** nakakairita pa din ang inaasam madinig

Masisisi mo ba ko?
Na sa dami-dami ng mga kwentong nabasa at narinig
Ikaw lang ang kapani-paniwala at uulit-ulitin

Masisisi mo ba ko?
Na ikaw pa din ang pinapangarap ko
Kahit gising na gising na sa katotohanan

Masisisi mo ba ko?
Na ikaw pa din ang paboritong rason
Sa tuwing pagtitripan ako ng mga alaala

Nauubusan na ko ng palusot
Masisisi mo ba ko?
Masisisi mo ba ko na sinisisi kita
Kung bakit tayo nagkasalisi ng landas
Oo sinisisi kita: sa mga nangyari;
Sa takot,
Sa kirot,
Sa lungkot,
Sa bangungot,
Kaya 'to, para sayo ang huling ikot.
Sinisisi kita, dahil mahal pa din kita.

tell me lies,
ones that you can't hide
look me in the eyes
pretend like our love never died
and act like everything is going to be alright
when you left me alone in a cold night
with these fairy tales of you and i
so baby,
feed me with these hazy love lies;
lies of you linger in my life.

It's perfection when I kiss your lips,
This is a desire I just can't fix,
Oh somethings just aren't meant to be,
Now I see you were never really in love with me.
I was just somebody to get you through,

until you move onto the next dude. 

I just can't find any reason why,

I should give you anymore of my time
,
you’re draining the essence of my soul.

You may have been my perfect fantasy,

but now I see, that it was all just a dream.

Now it's never gonna happen, 
no not with me.

Because I'm sick of you walking out on me,

leaving me to question everything I feel deep down inside,

and I'm so clueless as to why, 

you couldn't even give me an explanation.

Maybe I just had to much expectation, 

of trying to feel all of your sensations.

And my spirit just keeps dying,
every time you steal my breaths,

turn around and tell me to stop there.

I thought this was passion, not just lust.

Seems this whole time I thought this was love,

Oh wrong again, looks like you’re gonna reject me all over again.

And why should I be surprised?

I believed in every one of your lies.

And out of all the memories, 
you were the best of them.

There you go turning my life upside down again.

Seems nothing is making much sense, anymore.

Girl I know I'm done playing these games.

Should of seen it coming from the start,

should of known you would break my heart.

I should of known, you wouldn't play your part,

I should of known, that this would fall apart.

Desert clean
Purified by the sun's gleam

Sand . . .
in my eyes , nose and mouth

Temperature rising
as I head South

The unbearable burdens
thrown aside

I stumble on
trying to survive

No compass to bear
the sun will show

The choices I made
the resounding No's

Will be purified
Buried in sands of gold

Life is too short,
even when the days






are long.
