Hold Me Tight and Fake the Night Until the Last Tear Falls

Hindi nalang didilat
para di maliwanagan.
Hahayaang tunaw ang puso
para di na mapakinabangan.
Tumuloy man ang oras
sa kanyang nakagawian.
Mundo ko’y mananatiling nakatigil
para ‘yong maabutan.

I'm rooting for you
even when you're not looking.
That's what makes my heart sing,
that's what keeps me going.
These simple joys that drown
and persuade meaning.
Sadly, brings back the past
that I keep regretti…

I would never compromise
what I hold dear in my heart.
What better prize could there be
than receiving your warm hug?
Every breath feels so boring
when distance makes us apart.
Joy would not be what it is
witho…

To greet the morning
with our distinctive giggles.
To subdue the night
with our lively sparkles.
To end the day,
filling each other's weaknesses.
And remain motivated to
do more wonders.

I’ll just accept your apology.
It's not the first time I've been silly.
Gotten used to hearing your sorry.
I'll just keep taking it
until I find my own sanity.

Everything looks too much like a lie.
So I hide, I cry, I say goodbyes.
A cocoon that doesn’t want to fly.
Until you came and gave a smile.
Now, I'm not afraid of the retries.
Still fragile, but for you, I’ll…

Nangangarap lang
maging masaya.
Pursigidong lahat ay itaya.
Sa pangarap nilaan ang mata.
Ang ngayon ay binabalewala.
Nakalimutang walang kontrata
na magbabalik sa lumipas na.
Kung nakuntento na nga lang sana

To stay awake
just to avoid
having the same bad dream.
To take a deep breath
just to hide
and suppress my own scream.
To wish for the rain
just to change
the path of this sad routine.
To forget it all…

May saya sa pagsalubong sa
panibagong Buwan.
Tila bagong biling kwadernong,
nakasasabik sulatan.
Bagong siglang haraping muli,
mga kabiguan.
Sisimulan ang bagong umagang
may ngiti’t
nakatingin sa ati…

When rainbows
seem too dull and faded.
Prayers and tears will
prevent our hearts
from becoming clouded.
For everything
is blurred by hatred.
It is our choices,
not the pain,
that caused us to be blind…

Pinili ko na lamang lumingon
para di na tumulo ang luha.
Pagod na sa nagawang delusyon
na magiging pag-ibig ang awa.
Ilang sampal ng realisasyon
bago natantong walang pag-asang,
mabago ng dalangin ang taong
hin…

I am surrounded
by burning candles
that are always willing
to give me hope.
Two kept their light
and risked their own battle
to give warmth and save me
from being soaked.
Loving parents
who bears my s…

Pinadapo ko
ang mga paru-paro
para lang maramdamang
nandito ka pa.
Nagtatampo
na patuloy itong relo
sa nakasanayan,
kahit wala ka na.
Pinipilit nalang
ang pagod na puso
na ipagpatuloy
ang na…

Limitado sa kayang gawin
ngunit hindi sa kayang matutunan.
Kapag puso na ang susundin
kahit takot, mapapagtagumpayan.

Tila pumayapa ang hangin
dahil sa iyong lambing.
Gumaan na ang paghinga’t
humina na ang pagdaing.
Nagising sa bangungot na
puno ng alalahanin.
Nagkulay sa mundo kong
mag-isang kailangang tawirin.
