"I can’t save you from yourself."

By: SCARLET

You’d rather drown yourself in drink than make yourself sit down and think.
You’d rather lie in bed all day and keep those demons well at bay.
Oh, you mess things up. Oh, you’re dangerous. And I’ve tried to see you through it all and I don’t wanna watch you fall.

But I can’t save you from yourself. I’d kill myself if it would help.
I’ve had enough of wasting time. I’ve got to let you know that I love you like no one else.
But I can’t save you from yourself. I can’t save you from yourself.

You’d rather go hurt someone else than run the risk they’d hurt you first.
You’d rather go for second place than go for first and lose the race.
Oh, you screw things up. Oh, you’re dangerous. And I’ve tried to see you through it all and I don’t wanna watch you fall.

But I can’t save you from yourself. I’d kill myself if it would help.
I’ve had enough of wasting time. I’ve got to let you know that I love you like no one else.
But I can’t save you from yourself. I can’t save you from yourself.

You’d rather I was not your friend for fear I’d leave you in the end.
I know you’d like to change your ways and sure as hell if you don’t, you’ll pay.
Oh why do you fuck things up? Oh you’re dangerous.

But I can’t save you from yourself. I’d kill myself if it would help.
I’ve had enough of wasting time. I’ve got to let you know that I love you like no one else.
But I can’t save you from yourself. I can’t save you from yourself.

♫ You and I ♫

You and I will travel far together.
We’ll pursue our little star together.
We’ll be happy as we are together.
We may never get to heaven but it’s heaven, at least, to try.

That only time can make
That only love can make
That only we can make
You and I

Mesmerized

“I could hold you forever but that would never even be long enough.”

By: Lifehouse

I’m filling a space
Burning a chapter of your life
This was the place that only you would know
Walking away
Watching the ashes as they fall

Reaching into your eyes
I can feel you crawling
Through my veins like
Catching the first sunrise
Mesmerized

Sometimes when I’m with you
These feelings falling
Like a landslide
As both of our dreams collide

All or Nothing

I’ve had the rest of you now I want the best of you. I don’t care if that’s not fair because I want it all or nothing at all. There’s nowhere left to fall when you reach the bottom.

"She’s the sweetest drug."

I got a problem and I don’t know what to do about it. Even if I did, I don’t know if I would quit. But I doubt it. I’m taken by the thought of it. And I know this much is true.
Baby, you have become my addiction. I’m so strung out on you. I can barely move but I like it.

And it’s all because of you. And it’s all because…
Never get enough. She’s the sweetest drug. Ain’t no doubt…so strung out over you.

-NEYO                 

With this song, I shall now surrender. Whatever the future has and however it unfolds, I come to you…shall stay with you…now and for always.

A Beautiful Mess, I am.

BEAUTIFUL MESS by Jason Mraz

You’ve got the best of both worlds
You’re the kind of girl who can take down a man,
And lift him back up again
You are strong but you’re needy,
Humble but you’re greedy
Based on your body language,
your shouted cursive I’ve been reading
You’re style is quite selective,
though your mind is rather reckless
Well I guess it just suggests
that this is just what happiness is

Hey, what a beautiful mess this is
It’s like picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you write
Kind of turn themselves into knives
And don’t mind my nerve you can call it fiction
‘Cause I like being submerged in your contradictions dear
‘Cause here we are, here we are

Although you were biased I love your advice
Your comebacks they’re quick
And probably have to do with your insecurities
There’s no shame in being crazy,
Depending on how you take these
Words that paraphrasing this relationship we’re staging

And it’s a beautiful mess, yes it is
It’s like, we are picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you say
Kind of turn themselves into blades
And the kind and courteous is a life I’ve heard
But it’s nice to say that we played in the dirt
Cause here, here we are, Here we are
Here we are x7

We’re still here

And what a beautiful mess this is
It’s like taking a guess when the only answer is yes

And through timeless words in priceless pictures
We’ll fly like birds not of this earth
And tides they turn and hearts disfigure
But that’s no concern when we’re wounded together
And we tore our dresses and stained our shirts
But it’s nice today, oh the wait was so worth it

 Whether M stands for MARK or MAGNUS or Mangkukulam is irrelevant.

I AM SOMEONE’s BEAUTIFUL MESS. I am the best and worst thing that could ever happen to a man. I am your best mistake ever.

23 is The ONE.

23 by Jimmy Eat World

I felt for sure last night

That once we said goodbye

No one else will know these lonely dreams

No one else will know that part of me

I’m still driving away
And I’m sorry every day
I won’t always love these selfish things
I won’t always live not stopping

It was my turn to decide
I knew this was our time
No one else will have me like you do
No one else will have me, only you

You’ll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
I’m here I’m now I’m ready
Holding on tight
Don’t give away the end
The one thing that stays mine

Amazing still it seems
I’ll be 23
I won’t always love what I’ll never have
I won’t always live in my regrets

You’ll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
I’m here I’m now I’m ready
Holding on tight
Don’t give away the end
The one thing that stays mine

It is a guarantee that this Crazy Love will get even crazier every passing moment. That obstacles are inevitable and disapprovals from everywhere will become regular words like prayer. But it is also a guarantee that great expectations will not ruin anything any longer because we know we’re beyond conventional patterns of symmetry.

NO, I won’t love you until I’m dead. You know I won’t.
I will love you until the day after forever. No questions asked.

November 20

 If you’re not the one then why does my soul feel glad today? If you’re not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way?
If you are not mine then why does your heart return my call
If you are not mine would I have the strength to stand at all

I never know what the future brings
But I know you are here with me now
We’ll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with

I don’t want to run away but I can’t take it, I don’t understand
If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

If I don’t need you then why am I crying on my bed?
If I don’t need you then why does your name resound in my head?
If you’re not for me then why does this distance maim my life?
If you’re not for me then why do I dream of you as my wife?

I don’t know why you’re so far away
But I know that this much is true
We’ll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
And I wish that you could be the one I die with
And I pray in you’re the one I build my home with
I hope I love you all my life

I don’t want to run away but I can’t take it, I don’t understand
If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

‘Cause I miss you, body and soul so strong that it takes my breath away
And I breathe you into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today
‘Cause I love you, whether it’s wrong or right
And though I can’t be with you tonight
And know my heart is by your side

I don’t want to run away but I can’t take it, I don’t understand
If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I stay in your arms.

From the Bottom of My Broken Heart

Let me in
To see you in the morning light
To get me on and all along the tears they come
See all come
I want you to believe in life
But I get the strangest feeling that you’ve gone away
Will you find out who you are too late to change?

I wish I could be every little thing you wanted
All the time
I wish I could be every little thing you wanted
All the time
Some times

Lift me up
Just lift me up don’t make a sound
And let me hold you up before you hit the ground
See all come
You say you’re all right
But I get the strangest feeling
That you’ve gone away…you’ve gone away
And will you find out who you are too late to change?

I wish I could be every little thing you wanted
All the time
I wish I could be every little thing you wanted
All the time
Some times

Don’t give me up
Don’t give me up tonight
Or soon nothing will be right at all
Salvation
Will you find out who you are too late to change?

I wish I could be every little thing you wanted

To Fall or Not to Fall

"Until you get there…"

Just when I thought I would leave Manila, my surrogate home, as the saddest girl there is…Jon changed my mind. I just met him during the summer and a few nights ago, over a few bottles of beer, he instantly became one of those few trusted strangers. Those you impulsively pour out your deepest sorrows, joys, grief and hope to thinking that the morning after will reset their memory and they will not give a shit about what you’ve been yakking about when you were drunk.

Yesterday afternoon, while crying over the death of Luis Figo, my 6 year old shih tzu, I got an SMS that goes: “Ei G, it’s Jon, UMG. I just heard the song SAY (ALL I NEED) by One Republic. Bagay sa station mo ung song. Better listen to it.”

SAY (ALL I WANT)

By: One Republic

Do you know where your heart is?Do you think you can find it?
Or did you trade it for something
Somewhere better just to have it?

 Do you know where your love is?
Do you think that you lost it?
You felt it so strong, but
Nothing’s turned out how you wanted

Well, bless my soul
You’re a lonely soul
Cause you won’t let go
Of anything you hold

Well, all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest
My head

Do you know what your fate is?
And are you trying to shake it?
You’re doing your best and
Your best look
You’re praying that you make it

Well, bless my soul
You’re a lonely soul
Cause you won’t let go
Of anything you hold

Well, all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest
My head

I said I all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest
My head

Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Better than you had it

Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Yeah, better than you had it (Better than you had it)

I said I all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest
My head

I said I all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest
My head

Whenever the end is
Do you think you can see it?
Well, until you get there
Go on, go ahead and scream it
Just say it

When I did, the tears just welled up again and I was deeply moved and truly touched that he shared this song to me. So I sent him an SMS: “Just heard the song, read the lyrics too. You just made me cry like a lil bitch. Damn!”

His reply was, “Bagay no? Crying is part of the process of healing. That’s my song for you.”

Just when I thought I would leave Manila as the saddest girl there, Jon changed my mind. Thank you, Jon. You know you’ll always be my favorite UMG, right? See you when I see you, rockstar!

Better In Time

Weeks ago, I was slapped by his Jason Mraz’s I’m Yours dedication to one of those girls who helped him fill his void within. It shook my world to kingdom come!

It’s been over two months and I’ve had it. I’ve searched through turbulence for the song that could at least make me be at peace with myself and, yesterday, I found it. While hanging out over fruit juice and cigarettes, Angelo turned on his player and this song just made me want to hug him so tight. Thank you so much. It was the highlight of my day.

This song beats  Jason Mraz’s rebound song I’m Yours.

BETTER IN TIME

by Leona Lewis

It’s been the longest winter without you I didn’t know where to turn to
See somehow I can’t forget you
After all that we’ve been through

Going, coming, thought I heard a knock
Who’s there, no one
Thinking that I deserve it
Now I realize that I really didn’t know
If you didn’t notice, you mean everything
Quickly I’m learning to love again
All I know is I’m gonna be ok

Thought I couldn’t live without you
It’s gonna hurt when it heals too
It’ll all get better in time
And even though I really love you
I’m gonna smile cause I deserve to
It’ll all get better in time

I couldn’t turn on the TV
Without something there to remind me
Was it all that easy
To just put aside your feelings?

If I’m dreaming, don’t wanna laugh
Hurt my feelings
But that’s the path I believe in
And I know that time will heal it
If you didn’t notice boy you meant everything
Quickly I’m learning to love again
All I know is I’m gonna be ok

Thought I couldn’t live without you
It’s gonna hurt when it heals too
It’ll all get better in time
And even though I really love you
I’m gonna smile cause I deserve to
It’ll all get better in time

Since there’s no more you and me
It’s time I let you go
So I can be free
And live my life how it should be
No matter how hard it is I’ll be fine without you
Yes I will

Thought I couldn’t live without you
It’s gonna hurt when it heals too
It’ll all get better in time
And even though I really love you
I’m gonna smile cause I deserve to
It’ll all get better in time
