Let go...i touched your hand and turned away / i just couldn't find the words to say, / i loved you so much and i told you so / but why do you really have to go? / you look at me with your weary eyes / yet i can't afford to tell you lies / i ran outside into the rain / taking with me all the hurts and pain / God knows i really love you so / but when you learn to love someone / you have to learn to let go [by: nikki]

Lost love...no hate came to my mind / no anger no spite / i put down the phone / in a dazed sort of light / tears moved too freely / i wept my heart dry / i gathered my thoughts / and asked myself why / i fell for your love / and allowed mine to grow / when only months later / i've got to let go / learn to forget him / so many say / but if only they know / it gets harder each day / and still i can't hate you / for hurting me so / when you taught me so much / before you let go / to say i won't miss you / would be a mistake / for you taught me to love / --what to give, how to take / you won't have to explain / i know you did care / but why keep it goin' / when nothing is there? / at least i keep something / the memories don't die / they always remain / long after goodbye / it's all growing up / i realize that too / the love, pain and loss / that i've learnt from you / please think of me sometimes / and don't ever forget / for i look back on us / without any regret

My bestfriend...we met unexpectedly in a time i thought that was right / i felt we were blessed for our days were gay and bright / we shared our thoughts everyday and forgot the usual things we do / we gave time for each other, we never made each other blue / you sang sweet songs to me that made my heart swell / i really thought everything was going well / and when the time i have waited for so long came / i wished your feeling for me with mine was the same / yes, you said you love me which i hoped for / but you also said, "but i love your bestfriend more." [by: torpe]

Never...never whisper words of love / if the feeling is not there / never say i love you / if you really don't care / never share your feeling / if you mean to break a heart / never say where your journey ends / if you don't really mean to start / never look into my eyes / if all you do is lie / never say hello / if you really mean goodbye

No more secrets...did you ever love someone but knew he didn't care / did you ever feel like cryin' but knew you'd get nowhere / did you ever watch him go away not wanting him to go / and whispered "gosh, i love you so" but never let him know / did you ever cry all night in misery and almost go insane / there's nothing in this whole wide world that causes so much pain / if i will choose between love and death i think i'd rather die / love is fun but hurts too much / the price you pay is high / and to say that you don't fall in love you get hurt before you're through / you see my friend, you ought to know, i fell in love with you

No time...i knelt to pray but not for long / i had too much to do / must hurry off and get to work / for bills would soon be due / and so i said a hurried prayer / jumped up from my knees / my christian duty now was done / my soul could be at ease / all through the day i had no time / to speak a word of cheer / no time to speak of Christ to friends / they'd laugh at me i feared / no time--no time / too much to do / that was my constant cry / no time to give those in need / at last it was my time to die / and when before the Lord i came / i stood with downcast eyes / within His hands He held a book / it was the Book of Life / He looked into the Book and said: / "your name I cannot find" / I once was going to write it down / but never found the time

Not really...you were there but not eally / you were mine but not really / i never really had you / so i never really lost you / i suppose i'll forever be someone wishfully thinking / i had you, you had me / but not really / i can hear the music / that is you / and it makes me cry / because my soul doesn't know what to do / and i can't connect to you / i hear you and see you and feel you / but i'm nothing to you / felt you on my cheek / a gentle breath of wind / a hint... / a longing... / for a moment there / i've fallen in love with the wind

Nothing more than friends...how i wish i could still hug you / to let you know that i still care / how i wish i could still talk to you / talk about those secrets we used to share / i miss those times we were together / i miss all the things we used to do / if i could only go back to the past / i'd settle on being just a friend to you / how i wish i did not tell you / what i really feel inside / if only i did not say " i love you " / you would still be at my side [by : lei]

Plis!...hindi ko alam kung bakit gano'n / hindi ko alam kung paano nangyari yun / ang alam ko lang ay mahal kita / sobra-sobra ang tuwa 'pag kasama ka / weird daw ako sabi nila / ba't ikaw pa meron namang iba / ano nga bang nakita ko sa'yo ? / basta ang alam ko'y ito'y totoo / pagsikat ng araw sa umaga / ikaw ang hinahanap tuwina / pagngiti ng buwan sa gabi / pinapangarap na ika'y katabi / mahal kita, walang biro / kaya plis lang mahalin mo rin ako! [by: torpe]

Sa aking mahal...nakabalot ang buong paligid sa kadiliman / wala ni isang tunog kang mapapakinggan / tahimik ang iyong paligid at madilim / maliban sa tibok ng puso at ihip ng hangin / nariyan ang gutom na lamok / na kahit kaila'y di dinadalaw ng antok / nangangagat, nag-iinis at nanggigising / daig pa nila ang mga hilo at lasing / mga butiking walang magawa sa mundo / kundi ang man-tsk-tsk ng todo-todo / o kaya'y dumikit sa kisame magdamag / hanggang sila ay mapagod at malaglag / at ikaw naman, nag-iisa / walang karamay kasi lahat tulog na / kahit na ang puso mo'y nagdurugo sa sakit / at walang katapusan ang tanong mong "bakit?" / pilitin mo man umiyak sa lungkot / mga tinik sa puso'y ipagbubunot / ngunit kailangan mong tanggapin ang katotohanan / na di mo na sya makikita kahit pa kailan / alam kong masakit sa isang tao ang mawalan / lalo na kung ito'y isa sa kanyang mga kaibigan / ngunit wag mo nang ipagkait dahil ito'y totoo / na pumanaw na ang iyong pinakamamahal na aso [by: torpe]

Sa aking puso...sa kakaunting panahon at pagkakataon / na ika'y nakilala / lubos naman ang dulot na saya / sa kakapiranggot na oras / nabuo ang pagkakaibigan / na kahit panandalia'y / hindi maaaring mawatas sa isipan / sa susunod na araw / maaaring hindi na tayo magkita pa / sino bang nakakaalam... / minsan, gusto kong / ibalik ang nakaraan / nais kong gawin ang dati nating / ginawa / nais kong tumawa na katabi ka / ngunit sadyang ganyan ang / buhay... / bago pa man sumapit ang puntong / wala ng iba pang magawa / kundi ang magtitigan / heto ako, lakas loob / na nagpapaalam / sana'y hindi ikasama ng / loob ito... / mahal na mahal kita / hindi na kailangang sabihin pa / subalit nararapat na / ipagpatuloy ang pag-usod / ng gulong ng buhay-- / sa kung saan man ito makakarating / huwag kang mag-alala... / sa pag-usad na ito'y kasama ka... / sa aking puso [by: torpe]

Salamisim...alaala ng kahapon / mga larawan ng nakaraan / ang pag-ibig na nakalimutan / sa tadhana'y napabayaan / sumabay sa agos ng ulan / ang hiwaga'y isang nakaraan / ang apoy ay lumiyab / napawi sa ihip ng hangin / ngunit ang alab ay buhay pa rin / sa puso'y nananatili [from the MCHS Banaag Club play: Salamisim]

Scarred people are beautiful...man speaks : / i've seen a number of good movies, Lord / like Romeo and Juliet. / The love of young people, at least in this movie, / is beautiful ... / so simple, / so total, / so uncomplicated! / they seem so natural... / so free in their emotions... / unrestrained in their actions. / I wish I could be like that, Lord / But I can't be! / Why is it so? / I've been hurt, Lord! / I have trusted and been betrayed many times. / I have loved and received nothing in return. / I have tried hard to care and failed often. / I have shared my secrets and heard them whispered to others. / I have been warm and received a cold shoulder. / I've been through it, Lord! / I have fallen on my face. / I have banged my shins. / I've been bruised! / Look, Lord! I'm all covered with scars! / The Lord speaks: / Maybe you have not yet understood enough! / Maybe you still haven't learned that human life is like that. / All saints are scarred. / Young love isn't the highest form of human love. / The highest love comes from scarred people. / i know many people who stop loving / so they won't be hurt again. / But those people who do start over again, / who continue despite of all, / who leave themselves open to the possibility of hurt again, / These people are able to love in a gentle way... / a more understanding way... / a richer way. / Man Responds: / I think I know what you mean, Lord. / I've met people like that and / knowing them gives me great courage. / The greatest people are those who continue to love with all their scars. / I like scarred people, Lord. / They are beautiful.

Ten things i hate about you...i hate the way you talk to me / and the way you cut your hair / i hate the way you drive my car / i hate it when you stare / i hate your big damn combat boots / and the way you read my mind / i hate you so much it makes me sick / it even makes me rhyme / i hate the way you're always right / i hate it when you lie / i hate it when you make me laugh / and worst when you make me cry / i hate it when you're not around / and the fact you didnt call / but mostly i hate the way i don't hate you / not even close / not even a little bit / not even at all [from the movie: ten things i hate about you]

The world is flat...there are no sentimental fools / there is no money / no evil / nobody strugles / there is faith... and hope... and love / the earth is not dying / there are no guns / music speaks the language of every soul / we are all truly free / God is with us / And there is peace. [by: ancel]

To a girl...did you ever love a guy and know he didn't love you? / did you ever feel like cryin' and think what good does it do? / did you ever look into his eyes and say a little prayer? / did you ever see through his heart and wish you were there? / did you ever see him dancing when the lights were way down low? / did you ever say God i love him but you just couldn't let him know? / did you ever wonder where he is at night perhaps with someone new? / one moment you are happy the next you are blue / so if you were to fall in love my friend you'll find it doesn't pay / it even causes broken hearts which can happen any day / Love is good but it hurts too much and the price you pay is high / so if i were to choose between love and death i would rather die / so if you were to fall in love my friend you'll just be hurt, oh yes, it's true / you see my friend, i ought to know, i fell in love with you

Tutulang tulala...sa bawat pagbubuntung-hininga / tulala at nakakatunganga / tila isang butiki sa kisame / nanunuod lang, walang masabi / magdamag na gising / nakatitig sa mga bituing walang ningning / tanging ang bilog na buwan ang kaakibay / sa lubos na pagdadalamhati't lumbay / ikaw ang nananatili sa isipan / walang oras na di nasambit ang pangalan / ano ba?! ba't di kita malimutan? / ayoko na! ayoko nang masaktan! / para bang ika'y isang gagamba / ako'y nalulong sa kamandag na dala / nahihibang na't wala sa sarili / ngingiti habang ang sakit ay nananatili / pwede ba! ayaw na kitang makita! / umalis ka't wag nang babalik pa / tatahimik na lang ako buong magdamag / tulala't tuliro, manhid sa kamandag [by: torpe]

Waiting...i used to think it's impossible / that someday things would change / that simple friendship we had / will go and fade away / it's not that easy to decide / when certain things can't be / although i know that if we try / we'll know it's meant to be / these feelings that i keep inside / has kept me standing by / because i know that if it's true / you'll give me your reply / waiting is a boring thing / it's the risk i have to take / for we don't know what it'll bring / it can be a huge mistake / and if your time is given / i see your love is true / coz i know we're even / because i love you too [by: ancel]

Why do i?...why do i keep on calling your name / when everythin's not anymore the same / why do i keep on thinking of you / when you're thinkin' of somebody new / why do i still search for your eyes / those eyes that caused my cries / why do l look for your smile / when you're far more than ten miles / why do i long for your sweet voice / in the middle of confusion and noise / why do i still wait for you at the door / when you really don't love me anymore [by: torpe]

Wind...how can you show your love to someone whose / eyes are set on another's / how can you make him feel you're not there when / she's the reality for him / how can you just let him hear you love him / when every word you say passes like wind / yes, you're just the wind that passes by / never heard, never seen, but felt / when cold... his arms are wrapped around her [by: torpe]

Wishing on a star...I asked the stars and the Lord above / "why everyone but me?" / I wondered why everyone else has someone / Where is the star for me? / When I look upon this crazy world, / And I wonder what i'll find / I think of what I am longing for / was right before my eyes / And everytime I close my eyes / I see you in my mind / Everything I was looking for / has been there all the time / And so I wonder to myself, / what am i to do? / A solitary Romeo, / never complete without you. / Here I am alone, / wondering where you are. / I know you are out there somewhere, / wishing on a star.
