... because when beautiful things end  ... or never begin ... the heart deserves to mourn appropriately.

Contemplating Up Dharma Down's "Oo" (Yes)

'Di mo lang alam, naiisip kita

You do not know, but I think of you
Baka sakali lang maisip mo ako

Hopefully, you think of me too
'Di mo lang alam, hanggang sa gabi

You do not know, but through the night
Inaasam makita ka muli

I crave to see you once again

Nagtapos ang lahat sa 'di inaasahang

All of a sudden, everything ended
Panahon at ngayon ako'y iyong iniwang

And now I am left
Luhaan, sugatan, 'di mapakinabangan

In tears, wounded, useless
Sana nagtanong ka lang kung 'di mo lang alam

I wish you had just asked, if you only knew
Sana'y nagtanong ka lang kung 'di mo lang alam
I wish you had just asked, if you only knew

Ako'y iyong nasakatan

You have hurt me
Baka sakali lang maisip mo naman

Perhaps somehow you would realize
Hindi mo lang alam kay tagal na panahon

If you only knew, for so long
Ako'y nandirito pa rin hanggang ngayon para sa 'yo

I am still here for you

Lumipas mga araw na ubod nang saya

Days passed full of bliss
'Di pa rin nagbabago ang aking pagsinta

My feelings have not changed
Kung ako'y nagkasala, patawad na sana

If I had done something wrong, forgive me
Ang puso kong pagal ngayon lang nagmahal

My weary heart has loved only now

Oh, 'di mo lang alam ako'y iyong nasaktan

If you only knew you hurt me
O baka sakali lang maisip mo naman

Perhaps somehow you would realize
Puro siya na lang, sana'y ako naman

It’s all about her, I wish it were me
'Di mo lang alam, ika'y minamasdan

If you only knew how I gaze at you
Sana'y iyong mamalayan

Perhaps somehow you would realize
Hindi mo lang pala alam, 'di mo lang alam
You don’t know, if you only knew

Kahit tayo'y magkaibigan lang

Though we are just friends
Bumabalik lahat sa t'wing nagkukulitan

I keep going back to our fun teasing
Baka sakali lang maisip mo naman

Perhaps you would realize
Ako'y nandito lang, hindi mo lang alam

I am here, if you only knew
Matalino ka naman

You’re smart anyway

Kung ikaw at ako ay tunay na bigo

If you and I truly won’t work
Sa laro na ito ay dapat bang sumuko?

In this game, must we give up?
Sana 'di ka na lang pala aking nakilala

I wish I had never known you
Kung alam ko lang ako'y iyong masasaktan

If I only knew how much I would hurt
Nang ganito, sana'y nakinig na lang ako sa nanay ko

I wish I listened to my mother

Malas mo

Unlucky you
Ikaw ang natipuhan ko

You’re the one I fell for
'Di mo lang alam ako'y iyong nasaktan

If you only knew, you hurt me
