was bored so i asked my sister mari to do a cover with me

More Than Words - Extreme (Cover by Manu and Mari)

CHORDS: G, D, Em, C

let's lay together
under the stars
talking about everything
worrying about nothing

you could tell me
all your flaws & imperfections
but i'd still find you 
as beautiful as ever 

cause every second i'm with you
i do nothing but appreciate
every beautiful thing you do 
everything about you

in a room full of art,
i'd still stare at you
no one ever looked as lovely
as lovely as you 

you're like my favorite song
you can't get out of my head
no matter what i do
all i think about is you

Everything About You (Original)

LYRICS

Noong t'wing ika'y nalulumbay
Nasa tabi mo lang lagi ako
Noong t'wing sumasablay ako sa buhay
Yakap mo ang laging lunas nito

Ano ba'ng nangyari
Isa bang aksidente
Ni hindi na makatulog pa
Inaalala'ng sabi mo noon

Na hindi ka mawawala
Sa 'kin ka habang panahon
Nabihag ako
Ng mapanlinlang mong mahika
Nangako ngunit nasa'n ka na ba ngayon?

Noon, t'wing gabi hanggang tanghali
'Di nauubusan ng kwento't laro
Noon kalawakan ay nahahawakan ng kamay
Basta't nakakapit ka sa bisig ko

Isang aksidente
Ang nangyari sa kotse
Ang 'yong alaala'y nawala
nang mabangga ka sa gabing iyon

'Kala'y 'di ka mawawala
Pero wala ka na ngayon
Ba't 'di na lang ako'ng
Pumalit sa kanyang sumpa
Sana sa akin na lang nga nangyari 'yun

i'm not a book to be read 
it may look nice in your head 
but is it ever really more than that? 

more than circumstance, 
is it just loneliness 
or what did you expect? 
but it's still different 
beyond the second hand 
thought i was over that 

if it's really me you seek 
then i won't hide 
i've been exhausting every single way 
to get it off my mind 
get it off my mind 
but if it's really me you seek 
then i won't hide 
wishing it could be simple as you explain 
but i can't ever seem to get it right 

i have the tendency to pick things apart 
and i can never breathe 
am i wrong expecting it to be easy when you're next to me? 
and i don't want to be the kind to second guess 
it's just so hard to believe 
or difficult to reconcile what's on my mind 
with how i feel 

if it's really me you seek 
then i won't hide 
i've been exhausting every single way 
to get it off my mind 
get it off my mind 
but if it's really me you seek 
then i won't hide 
wishing it could be simple as you explain 
but i can't ever seem to get it right 

if it's really me you seek 
if it's really me you seek 
if it's really me you seek 
if it's really me you seek

steady (radio + single version)

sunlight used to be in my eyes
until they brought me down 
and started raining, raining
raining on me
everything used to be
so simple and true
it was always about 
always, always
always about me and you

so tell me how do i forget
all the stories we have shared
to each other
why do they bother

cause loving you
is just a dream 
i wouldn't want to wake up from
cause loving you
is the greatest risk I've ever taken
cause loving you
is something they would never understand

yes i do believe 
i do believe in wishing upon a star
i talk to them at night and say
please lead me, lead me
lead me to where things used to be

LYRICS:
I hear happy lullabies
playing, every time she cries.
Broken, empty promises. 
Fears, all trapped in their cages.

You took away the only smile she can ever show,
all because you loved yourself, that's all you know.

You had it all, you had her heart.
She was wrapped around your finger right from the start.
I know you were afraid, but you had to run,
left her hurting, wondering what she's done.

They said blind emotions can never be trusted,
but why does she feel, feel so tested?
She was free falling in your command,
while you sat there, holding and emptying your hand.

You took away the only heart she's ever had,
all because you saw her scars behind her mask.

You had it all, you had her heart.
She was wrapped around your finger right from the start.
I know you were afraid, but you had to run,
Left her hurting, wondering what she's done.

They said: "You'll live a life with a man."
A man who'll love you, in any way he can.
You'll cross big oceans, and reach all mountains,
that's when you'll see,
you've lost her completely.

She sang her happy lullabies,
while he walks away and cries.
Healing all promises,
Freeing all fears in all cages.

Elude

you with your headphones on
i thought i saw 
some trace of january's warmth
on your favorite t-shirt
how it made me wonder why
you never swing by
anymore
by my door

you and your tired eyes
now i see in pictures 
has it really been this while
since i held you close
to me 
oh these things are changing fast
some never really last
it happens all the time
and you've got to make yourself
feel fine

anymore

I guess right now I got the last laugh.
