I'LL SAY GOODBYE FOR THE TWO OF US

When you wake up
And find me gone tomorrow
Don't think I meant to hurt you
I just did what we knew I had to
And all the time we knew it
The time was never right for us
Time to leave this love behind
I could never leave you -- Baby
If I see you cry

Chorus
I'll say good bye for the two of us
Tonight while you sleep
I'll kiss you softly one last time
And say good-bye

Like I know we must
There's just no other way
And I couldn't bear to see your heart break
So I'll wait till your asleep to say good-bye

Please realize
How hard it is to do this
I'm trying to make it through this
Say good-bye just as gently as I can
Please try and understand
This time just wasn't the time for us
We knew I couldn't stay
But that don't make it easier to leave you
So while I can find the strength


Before your arms embrace me
Before your kisses take me
Before your eyes can make me stay

Like I know we must
I'll wait till you're asleep
To say good-bye for the two of us
Tonight while you sleep
I'll kiss you softly one last time
And say good-bye
Like I know we must
There's just no other way
And I couldn't bear to see your heart break
So I'll wait till your asleep to say good-bye

When you wake up
And find me gone tomorrow
Don't think I meant to hurt you

Good bye


One day while i was sitting in front of my PC, thinking about nothing. I happened to open the music menu of my pc, then found the name "Expose". As I started to listen, to each and every lyrics, from first line to the last. One thing registered to my mind. "HOW PAINFUL THE WORD LOVE IS!"

This song kasi, as you try to look at the lyrics, is all about forbidden love. For sure, taken yung isa, if the other is married or just having a relationship, one thing is for sure, this is forbidden. Seems, kailangan ng magpaalamanan kaya ganito kalupit yung lyrics. Try to feel the song, parang ang sakit sakit sa kalooban nya diba? Tipong, "i need to do this coz this is the right thing, pero paano? Kung sasabihin pa lang sayo ng harapan e di ko pa magawa?" (There's just no other way And I couldn't bear to see your heart break So I'll wait till your asleep to say good-bye) Pero sa totoo lang, masakit naman talaga yun di ba? Tipong you had to do it with a heavy heart, gagawin mo ng di mo kagustuhan kundi para sa kapakanan ng ibang tao, at dahil yun ang tama. Oo nga, mahal mo sya at mahal ka nya, pero sa maling panahon na e. At dun naman papasok yun "kayhirap umibig sa di tamang panahon" at "kung malaya lang ako".

I remember, i posted a topic sa isang thread, where in i asked kung, naniniwala ka bang sa isang bawal na relasyon, masasabi mo bang may pagmamahalan? or was it just pure lust and want/need? I was surprised na ang naging sagot ng majority is "yes, there is". Iba kasi sa panananaw nating mga Pilipino e, na kapag usapang kabet, kirida and whatever na mga words pa they are using, for sure walang pagmamahalan yun. Pamalit ka lang for a while kasi may problema sila sa relasyon nila. Tipong ganun. Pero on my personal view, eto e opinyon ko lang naman. At first maybe Yes, pero as time goes by kasi naa-attached tayo sa kapwa natin, kahit hindi nga bf/gf e, basta companion lang na nakakasama mo lagi, or even a person na you always share your thoughts with, then all of a sudden mawawala, we feel some emptiness kapag nawala diba? Kasi lahat naman ng taong nami-meet natin may gagampanang papel sa buhay natin diba? E what more yung naging karelasyon mo regardless kung forbidden or legal. Kaya ako, naniniwala din ako, na yes, for a while laro laro yung mga ganung relasyon pero when time comes at sinibok sila sa kanilang relasyong bawal at nalampasan nila, maybe di nila mano-noticed naa-attached na sila sa isa't-isa. Kaya when Goodbye times come, napakahirap sabihin yung salitang "goodbye, farewell, paalam, adios". More often than not, yung mga taong nasa ganitong relasyon mas ginugusto na lang na mawalan na lang ng communication. Kumbaga yun na yun. Kasi mahirap nang sabihin e, kasi masakit na, attached na e. Maybe the reason why yung writer nitong song ganito yung naging lyrics.

As for me, malagay man ako sa ganitong sitwasyon, di ko din alam kung anong gagawin ko. Siguro ipagbi-burn ko na lang sya ng cd na content ang song na to, para as he play this song, maalala nya na masakit sakin ang bitawan sya at isipin na lang nya ako ang kumakanta. For a while naging maganda timbre ng boses ko, Charing!
