La Lunatica

more than a couple of guys

are willing to win my heart

but i always make them cry

‘coz they aint got that spark!

is it wrong to fall for a friend?

well for me, the answer’s a big NO

can’t you just simply comprehend?

i don’t want you to go!

i want you to just stay

though you, fool, can’t love me

be my friend, we’ll walk astray

that’s my music’s only melody

let me just love you silently

you’ve got nothing else to do

if you love her, go baby!

i’ll be a step behind waiting for you…

‘di ka naman pala manhid!

kailan ko nga lang ito nabatid…

‘di mo kasalanang minahal kita

ako lang ‘tong sa ‘yo’y nagpakatanga

‘di ka naman pala manhid!

hindi ko na alam kung bakit

sa tagal ng panahong lumipas

bakit sa ‘yo, puso’y ‘di makaalpas?

‘di ka naman pala manhid!

ngunit sa puso ko: ‘ka’y nakaukit

paumanhin sa aking katangahan

pag-ibig ko’y hayaan mong IKAW ang pag-alayan

‘kala ko’y ‘pag nalaman mong mahal kita

magkakatotoo ang lahat kong pantasya

aay! walang saysay yaring mga sapantaha!

hindi ka naman pala manhid: mahal mo lang SIYA!

So what’s with you?

Nothing so important, I guess…

You don’t have the looks,

You don’t have the guts,

You don’t have the weight,

You don’t have the height,

Ain’t got the brains, irresponsible,

In short: you’re a walking disaster!

 

Oh yeah, you play the guitar,

Strumming for rhythm,

Plucking the strings,

Giving birth to lead and bass

I must admit, I’m quite amazed…

 

Oh yeah, you play the drums,

Expressing your deepest angst,

Rollicking and rolling,

Still, you’ve got me smiling…

 

At times you play the keyboards,

Building up the sweetest harmony

Between ebony and ivory,

And I was never bored…

 

Some time, I can hear you talking

That harsh and husky voice,

It keeps me on recalling…

Reminiscing that very day

When you told me that you love me for me

And that you got no more reason left to define it.

 

But now, where do you think you are?

You’re gone: nowhere to be found!

I can’t explain your nowhere-ness

I just wake up one morning realizing that it’s too late.

How dare you leave me!

Why now? Now that I’ve realize your worth.

 

Tell me what should I do?

I wanna erase you…

You’ve caused me too much pain,

Goodbye, my Juliane!

You break into my life,

You broke the crystallized ice wrapped around my metallic heart.

Dealt along with my hypothalamus,

Flirt with my emotions…and I give in!

All of a sudden, you’re gone!

You broke my glass of silence into pieces,

‘T was all scattered on the shower floor.

As I watch it over, I can hear a deafening pounding.

It’s like crying a river, screaming its entire grievance out.

It keeps on blaming me while I keep on blaming you.

Heavens sympathized.

You broke my faith.

I can no longer believe in loving

How come it always goes before and after hurting?

I’m caught amidst this bizarre scenario

I wanna shout aloud my final adieu!

 

You broke my heart!
