Track 4: With a Cup of Coffee

I sat alone on the table
Surrounded by a sea of people
Got a book in front of me
The title was "Meant To Be"
And I laughed 'cause there was nothing like that
'Cause I stopped believing in fairy tales
No prince charming, no forever
No magic, everything's over.

Pre-chorus
And then you flicked my forehead
Pinched the tip of my nose
Grabbed a chair and made a pair of paper roses
And then you said

Chorus
With a cup of coffee
You said you love me
You don't want to let me go
Like a cup of coffee
I'm bitter and you're sweet
You said we were meant to be
Like the stars in the sky
Like the moon in the night
You said you'll make everything right
For bitter and for sweet
You'll be here for me
A perfect melody
With a cup of coffee.

Stunned by your revelation
Surrounded by doubts and questions
Got my phone in front of me
A text from you, I don't want to read
And I laughed, what was happening to me?
'Cause I stopped loving a long time ago
But you said you're never like him, no
Said you won't do the things he did, no

Pre-chorus
Chorus

But now, where are you now?
You're nowhere to be found
What about your promises?
What about the things you said?
What about the rose you left?
What about the tears I've shed?

With a cup of coffee
I'm sitting alone here
I'm waiting for you to come home
Like a cup of coffee
I will never let go
I'll hold on to you so tight
Like the stars in the sky
Like the moon in the night
I'll try to make everything right
For bitter and for sweet
I'll be here for you
Just please come back to me.

I sat alone on the table
Surrounded by a sea of memories, oh...
And with only a cup of coffee.


Alam niyo ba? May isang rule sina Adam at Agori—one cup of coffee for every sorry. Sa laki ng sugat na itinanim ni Adam sa puso ni Agori, imagine-in niyo na lang kung nakailang cup siya. Hindi pa aware si Agori sa kasalanan nito no'n pero paulit-ulit na pala itong humihingi ng tawad. Doon pa lang sa alam ni Adam na mali ang ginagawa nito, tapos hindi pa nito alam kung paano magpapaliwanag the moment Agori found out... Agori was right to run away even when she decided to physically stay. Yung pain caused by the emotional detachment while you are with the person (kahit wala naman talaga silang official label as boyfriend and girlfriend), walang kapantay. All because hindi niya kayang mang-iwan. Hinintay niyang si Adam ang kusang mapagod at umalis.

Fun fact kahit hindi naman nakakatuwa ang pinagdaanan nina Adam at Agori: totoo ang book na Meant To Be sa kantang ito. It was a book randomly picked by Adam sa NBS at ibinigay nito kay Agori. It was Meant To Be by Lauren Morrill.

So many years ago na mula nang mabasa ko iyon pero natatandaan kong maraming lines doon na tinamaan si Agori

So many years ago na mula nang mabasa ko iyon pero natatandaan kong maraming lines doon na tinamaan si Agori. Hahaha!

So... ayun po, I'm posting 2 versions of this song—bigo version and bored version. 'Di ko kinaya ang energy ng kabiguan ni Agori, nakakahingal. Dagdag na issue: lots of flipping pages sa background. Bigo version was rerecorded 3 years ago. Ang bored version naman na nakakaantok, 2 weeks ago. Both are available sa SoundCloud account ko. Thank you sa lahat ng nakinig at makikinig pa lang. Masarap sana ang kape niyo lagi! 😘
