"Only I"

there's nothing significant to write about today. Just thought to share this song, it's actually an old song -- not that old.. a few years back. This song has been one of my faves din and i kinda kept it on my unconscious for quite sometime. Yesterday, a friend was scanning thru my ipod and came to play this one, i introduced this song din sa kanya before and liked it since then.

The song is entitled.. "Only I" and interpreted by Dianne Dela Fuente, this is one of the 10 cuts in the "Himig Handog Love Songs" album which a compilation of entries from a songwriting contest of the same title. The song didn't bag any of the major awards in the contest nor it hit the airwaves but it did it me :P wala lang nagagandahan lang talaga ako song. hahayz wala na akong masabi, i am out of words na so here is the lyrics:

ONLY I

I know it’s over now
There’s nothing left to say
You were all I ever asked for
I thought forever love would be
Saw you with another girl
Never saw you so happy
But now I have to set you free
Don’t you know how much you mean to me

CHORUS

‘cause only I saw in you
what they failed to see
only I made you smile
when you were breaking in tears
move on with your life
let my love die in vain
‘cause only I need to feel this pain

I know it’s over now
There’s nothing left to say
But when I think of how you left without
a trace
How I wish, it was me in her place
But now all that I ask of you

Before I set you free
Feel the love so strong and true
And recall the love you shared with me

*CHORUS*

because I loved you all my life
and I will forevermore
only I would bear to feel the pain
to remind me that you loved me once before

*CHORUS*

only I need to feel this pain.
