I know she wasn't perfect.
But she was.

She was perfect,
to me and I didn't want
to have to wonder if
it was all her fault.

I don't want to be eaten up
by the thought of always thinking
so I'd rather blame everything on me.

I'd **** me to wander
into a thin line of whether
it was genuine or if
it was all sheer pretense.

I swore to her before that
I love her like I love
all the things she wants to
and doesn't wants to show.

I promised to her before that
I love her like I love
all the things she can
and she can't give.

I'm not perfect but I'm alright,
I didn't wanted it to be perfect,
It's not perfect but it's alright,
I just needed it to be real.

It was real perfect before
when she loved me.
That's right loved.
All in the past tense.

Maaring hindi mangamusta,
Maaring hindi na magparamdam,
Maaring hindi na makipag usap,
Maaring hindi na makita,
Maaring hindi na mainit,
Maaring hindi na malapit,
Maaring hindi na maaari,
Ngunit hindi kailanman sumuko.
Maaaring napagod na ngunit naghihintay pa rin.

the next time you fall
you won't need safety nets
not because of promises
of being safe here and there
you will have wings
not made of vanity and wax
it'll help with the heavy
you will soar high into the sky
the flight of your dreams
will leave behind your fears
and bid goodbye.

we were young lads
when we thought so easily
and exclaimed with ignorance
that hate is the other side of love
love, a many splendored thing
isn't the opposite of hate
the two stem from the same tree
they're the same
they're both passionate feelings

if we would pick up a book
leaf through the pages
trying to pinpoint a word
as an equal testament to it
i mean love but going backwards
picked by many is apathy
which is in understandable
however i would disagree
since i have a word already
trying to regress love
appropriately

when somebody loves us
all is beautiful
every second spent together
lives in a lover's heart
yet the opposite of love is not hate it's indifference
love is as love does
hate is as hate does
indifference doesn’t do
it doesn't do anything
love and hate exists
when we do care

allow me to break the news to you
it won't be indifference who'd be breaking the love or the hate of the heart
you will feel it deeply
as deep and as dangerous
as the trenches of war
the one who'll break you and I
is the tug of familiarity
you won't escape and you can't deny

these heavy things i carry are all pieces of myself i can't put back together

the heavy air i carry
they're all parts of me
from different smiles and frowns
to different parks and towns

the heavy air i carry
they're all memories of me
from hands i want to hold forever
to the love i can't put back together

all the memories of qc
came back rushing back at me
the first time i rode toki to up
when we got lost under fire trees

who would ever forget philcoa
our first date at chemistea at maginhawa
i got late to my sched at palma
coz the line was so long at north edsa

why do we walk away
why can't we just stay
why oh why we choose to lie
why oh why we can't deny

heavy is the head that wears a trophy love
heavy is the heart with all the memories you've got

why do we walk away
why can't we just stay
why oh why we choose to lie
why oh why we can't deny

when cute boy meets cute girl it's an easy way in
when love becomes a routine it'a an easy way out

why do we walk away
why can't we just stay
why oh why we choose to lie
why oh why we can't deny

why do we walk away
why can't we just stay
why oh why we choose to lie
why oh why we can't deny

if loving and staying is so hard to do
if saying goodbye don't mean much to me as it do to you
then you can walk away
stray far and far away
oh baby but please stay?

why do we walk away
why can't we just stay
why oh why we choose to lie
why oh why we can't deny

stay.
goodbye.
stay.
