Naaalala kong grade four pa lang nagkakilala tayo
Parang kambal sa playground magkalaro
Pati adventures in high school magkasama pa rin
Happy days at heart breaks, through thick and thin

Kahit dati pa ay alam ko na

Magkaibigan magpakailanman
Pagsasamahang di mapapantayan
Pag-ibig at damayan, maasahan
Kasama sa saya't sa kalungkutan
Kahit bumagyo, lumindol, pumutok ang mayon
Magkaramay tayo sa habang panahon
Walang katapusan, magkaibigan magpakailanman

Ngayong di na tayo bata, iba na ang mundo
Pakakaibigan natin di pa rin nagbago
Best man sa wedding at ninong ka sa binyagan
Kung may problema man ikaw ang sandalan

Sa buhay ko walang katulad mo

Magkaibigan magpakailanman
Pagsasamahang di mapapantayan
Pag-ibig at damayan, maasahan
Kasama sa saya't sa kalungkutan
Kahit bumagyo, lumindol, pumutok ang mayon
Magkaramay tayo sa habang panahon
Walang katapusan, magkaibigan magpakailanman

At kung dumating man ang panahon
Isa sa atin mapalayo
'Wag kang mag-alala
Saan man mapunta
Sa puso'y lagi kang kasama

Magkaibigan magpakailanman
Pagsasamahang di mapapantayan
Pag-ibig at damayan, maasahan
Kasama sa saya't sa kalungkutan
Kahit bumagyo, lumindol, pumutok ang mayon
Magkaramay tayo sa habang panahon
Walang katapusan, magkaibigan magpakailanman

Ikaw at ako, magkaibigan magkailanman

Magkaibigan Magpakailanman

One Step Forward Two Heartbreaks Back
© 2021 Wil Lim

We’ve been through this before
The shouting and slamming of doors
You would stay away
I’d be angry and worried for days
Then you’d come home, we would make up
But it doesn’t last, seems we’re stuck on the same spot

Always one step forward, two heartbreaks back
There are times when we would get along so good
Then we slip back to where we stood
Why can’t the tenderness last long
We somehow end up breaking each other’s hearts
It’s one step forward, then two heartbreaks back

We have tried it all before
Nothing has worked at all
Talk has gotten cheap 
With promises we never could keep
I don’t want us to break up
But could it be this love is just not meant for us

Always one step forward, two heartbreaks back
There are times when we would get along so good
Then we slip back to where we stood
Why can’t the tenderness last long
We somehow end up breaking each other’s hearts
It’s one step forward, then two heartbreaks back

There’s no, no victim or bad guy in this relationship
Only two, two people so different pushed to the breaking tip
Yet still hoping to find a way of saving this
We’re both caught in the hold of love so strong yet so wrong

Always one step forward, two heartbreaks back
There are times when we would get along so good
Then we slip back to where we stood
Why can’t the tenderness last long
We somehow end up breaking each other’s hearts
It’s one step forward, then two heartbreaks back

One Step Forward Two Heartbreaks Back

For You (I’d Like To Be)
© 2021 Wil Lim and Greg Swartzentruber 

I’d like to be that old t-shirt
You put on when you feel hurt
The one that’s not your Sunday best
It’s kept with all the rest
Got stains and holes, a bit threadbare
But when life is rough, it’s what you wear
Calms you down, keeps you warm
Gives comfort in the cruelest storm
If there’s something I could do
I’d like to be that shirt for you

I’d like to be that wooden door
And you know just what it’s for
The one you close to shut it out
When all you wanna do is shout
But when not feeling broken
You can swing that door wide open
Step out strong and face the day
Live your own life, make your own way
If there’s something I could do
I’d like to be that door for you

So remember, wear my love around you
Let the door close on it all
Paint the two of us in the warmest colors
Hang it proudly high up on the wall

I’d like to be that picture frame 
Kinda simple, a little too plain
Made of ordinary wood
By itself, doesn’t look that good
But it’s part of something special
It’s become quite essential
You are that precious art
It holds dearly as its heart
If there’s something I could do
I’d like to be that frame for you

So remember, wear my love around you
Let the door close on it all
Paint the two of us in the warmest colors
Hang it proudly high up on the wall

If there’s something I could do
I’d like to be all for you

FOR YOU Mix 8 23 21

I stand in this dusty, cluttered room
All the colors fade to gray
I should go and find a broom
Sweep cobweb memories away

Walls could be brightened up
To a lighter shade of blue
Leaky windows tightened up
But he'd keep on seeping through

I'll shut the window on the past
Seal out cold and ancient drafts
Every shadow holds his face
His whispers echo through this space
I've got to lock it all away
And close the door on yesterday

Someday maybe I'll come back
Turn the key, look inside
Let the sun shine through a crack
In the curtains of my mind

But that day's far ahead
Much farther than I can see
For this room of things unsaid
There's only one choice left for me

I'll shut the window on the past
Seal out cold and ancient drafts
Every shadow holds his face
His whispers echo through this space
I've got to lock it all away
And close the door on yesterday

Our love once decorated this room's walls and beams
But now this place is haunted by ghosts of shattered dreams

I'll shut the window on the past
Seal out cold and ancient drafts
Every shadow holds his face
His whispers echo through this space
I've got to lock it all away
And close the door on yesterday
