All I want from you is just to love me now
I know I′m doing all of these mistakes, yeah
You know I can't control it
I need you now
More than ever, babe, I need you now
Don′t give up on me 'cause I'm like this
Just hold my hand and just kiss my lips
Hold me tight, stop moving
Oh, you don′t mean it, all of these words
I hate it when you're shouting
Baby, let′s fix this now
Why the hell are you so damn loud?
Shut your precious mouth and kiss me
Look in my eyes, and tell me you love me, yeah
You're pissed again
I hurt your feelings, and you wish I′m dead
I understand, but that won't hurt me, baby
I will never leave your heart
Oh, whenever you get mad and whenever you′re sad
It makes me see how beautiful you are
When your make-up's faded and gone
From crying out all night 'til dawn
You′re beautiful the way you are
Just hold my hand and just kiss my lips
Hold me tight, stop moving, yeah
Oh, you don′t mean it, all of these words
I hate it when you're shouting
Baby, let′s fix this now
Why the hell are you so damn loud?
Shut your precious mouth and kiss me
Look in my eyes, and tell me you love me
Baby, just hold my hand
I will never do such a thing again
I'm in love with you, oh, baby
Look in my eyes, and tell me you love me, baby
I know I hurt you before
But, baby, don′t close the door
Let me in, let's talk about it now
I′ll never leave by your side
We've been here a couple of times
Give me another chance, oh, baby
Let's fix this now
Why the hell are you so damn loud?
Shut your precious mouth and kiss me
Look in my eyes, and tell me you love me, baby, yeah
Baby, let′s fix these now
Why the hell are you so damn loud?
Shut your precious mouth and kiss me
Look in my eyes, and tell me you love me
Baby, just hold my hand
I will never do such a thing again
I′m in love with you, oh, baby
Look in my eyes, and tell me you love me, baby
I know I hurt you before
But, baby, don't close the door
I know I hurt you before
But, baby, don′t close the door
Let me in, let's talk about it now
I′ll never leave by your side
We've been here a couple of times
Give me another chance, oh, baby

Nahulog ako sa babaeng may trust issues at traumas sa nakaraang relasyon. I gave her what she deserves, unti unti ko ng nakikita pag ba bago nya di na siya yung gabi gabing umiiyak, lagi ng nag seselfie nag papapili na nga sakin ng imymyday e haha. Ang swerte ko lang kasi naging mabait ako sa kanya suplado ako sa iba and she deserves it naman. Patagal ng patagal dumating na yung araw na bumalik na yung confidence nya and she totally healed, and now i see her happy with another man and I'm so proud and happy for her.
