I know things haven’t been going the way we’d like, and right now nothing is certain except for the friendship we’ve had all these years. Still, I wish you all the best on your 25th birthday and hoping for a shower of blessings in the years to come. May you reach your goals and find the happiness that you truly deserve.

I’ll smile when I see you smile.
I’ll always be here for you.

Monch, maligayang kaarawan.

With or Without You

See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you

Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait without you

With or without you
With or without you

Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I’m waiting for you

With or without you
With or without you
I can’t live
With or without you

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away

My hands are tied
My body bruised, she’s got me with
Nothing to win and
Nothing left to lose

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away

With or without you
With or without you
I can’t live
With or without you

With or without you
With or without you
I can’t live
With or without you
With or without you
