Style: Modern OPM Indie-Pop (Like Ben&Ben or Syd Hartha vibe)

(Intro)

(Swabe at malungkot na tipa ng gitara) · Smooth and melancholic guitar strumming

(Berso 1) · Verse 1

Tinitigan ko ang sarili ko sa harap ng salamin

I stared at myself in front of the mirror

Inayos ang buhok, nag-isip kung paano aamin

Fixed my hair, thought about how to confess

Sabi ko, "Ngayon na ang araw, lakasan mo ang loob"

I said, "Today's the day, be brave"

Sa katulad kong babae, matagal nang nahuhulog

For a woman like me, who's been falling for a long time

Pareho tayong mahilig sa kape at sa ulan

We both love coffee and the rain

Akala ko, ang tibok ng puso ko’y iyong alam.

I thought you knew the beat of my heart.

(Berso 2) · Verse 2

Tumakbo ako patungo sa paborito mong tambayan

I ran to your favorite hangout spot

May bitbit na kwento, handa nang ipaalam

Carrying a story, ready to tell

Nakita kitang nakatayo sa ilalim ng puno

I saw you standing under the tree

Lalapitan na sana kita, biglang tumigil ang mundo

I was about to approach you, when the world suddenly stopped

May lumapit sa iyong iba, may hawak na bulaklak

Someone else approached you, holding flowers

At sa isang sulyap, ang puso ko ay nawakwak.

And with one glance, my heart was torn apart.

(Koro) · Chorus

Ang sakit palang makitang masaya ka na sa iba

It hurts so much to see you happy with someone else

Sa katulad din nating babae na una mong nakilala

With a woman like us, whom you met first

Akala ko may puwang ako sa mundo mo

I thought I had a place in your world

’Yun pala, may nauna nang nagpatibok ng puso mo

But it turns out, someone else already made your heart beat

Ang ganda-ganda ninyong tingnan, habang ako’y duguan.

You both look so beautiful, while I'm bleeding.

(Berso 3) · Verse 3

Pinanood ko kayong magkahawak ang kamay

I watched you holding hands

Ang tamis ng ngiti mo, sa kanya ibinibigay

Your sweet smile, given to her

Yung mga pangarap ko na kasama ka sana

My dreams that I hoped to share with you

Ngayon ay natutupad, pero sa piling ng iba

Are now coming true, but with someone else

Naka-ngiti akong lumapit para lang bumati

I approached with a smile just to greet you

Habang ang puso ko sa loob ay pira-piraso na’t sawi.

While my heart inside is already shattered and forlorn.

(Tulay) · Bridge

Sana ang salamin na hinarap ko kanina

I wish the mirror I faced earlier

Ay nagbabala na huli na pala ang aking pag-asa

Had warned me that my hope was already too late

Hindi dahil bawal ang magmahal ng kapwa natin

Not because it's forbidden to love our fellow human

Kundi dahil ang puso mo, may iba nang gustong kapiling.

But because your heart already desires someone else's company.

(Koro) · Chorus

Ang sakit palang makitang masaya ka na sa iba

It hurts so much to see you happy with someone else

Sa katulad din nating babae na una mong nakilala

With a woman like us, whom you met first

Akala ko may puwang ako sa mundo mo

I thought I had a place in your world

’Yun pala, may nauna nang nagpatibok ng puso mo

But it turns out, someone else already made your heart beat

Ang ganda-ganda ninyong tingnan, habang ako’y duguan.

You both look so beautiful, while I'm bleeding.

(Outro)

(Hihina ang tugtog ng gitara) · Guitar music fades

Ayan ka na, papalayo kasama siya...

There you go, walking away with her...

Katulad kong babae ang nagpapasaya sa’yo.

A woman like me is making you happy.

Sana naging siya na lang ako.

I wish I were her instead.

Hmm-mm... paalam sa’yo.

Hmm-mm... goodbye to you.

Lines explained

“At sa isang sulyap, ang puso ko ay nawakwak.”

And with one glance, my heart was torn apart.

This line vividly describes the sudden and intense pain the singer feels upon seeing the person she loves with someone else, as if her heart has been physically torn apart.

“Ang ganda-ganda ninyong tingnan, habang ako’y duguan.”

You both look so beautiful, while I'm bleeding.

This line contrasts the beauty and happiness of the couple with the singer's profound emotional suffering, using the strong imagery of 'bleeding' to convey her heartbreak.

“Kundi dahil ang puso mo, may iba nang gustong kapiling.”

But because your heart already desires someone else's company.

This line clarifies that the pain isn't from the nature of the love itself (loving another woman), but from the specific heartbreak of unrequited love and the beloved's heart being taken by someone else.
