Ah, Alam ko na (Now I Know)

eto ako't nag-iisa (here I am alone)
palingon-lingon, nakatanga (looking around)
di ka pwedeng lapitan (can't walk towards you)
nahihirapan sa katayuan (and in a difficult situation)
diba mahal mo ako? (isn't it, you love me?)
alam ng lahat ng tao (everyone knows it)
isa lang ang ating mundo (we live in our own world)
bakit biglang nagkagulo (but what happened now?)
mahal mo ako ng sobra (you loved me so much)
pero bakit ba lumayo ka? (why did you go away?)
wala na tuloy akong kasama (now I am all alone)
nasan na ang aking ligaya? (where is my happiness? my joy?)
dati'y yakap mo ako (I was one you want in your arms)
kausap, kalaro (to talk to and play with)
kaibigan, ako'y iyo (to be your friend and to be yours)
at sabi mo'y "sayo lang ako" (and you told me "I am yours")
pero bakit iba na (but what happened now?)
san ka napunta (where did you go?)
gusto kong lumapit sa iyo (I want to be near you)
pero pilit kang lumalayo (but you chose to keep the distance)
hindi ba't ako ang mahal mo? (I thought you love me?)
grabe ang lungkot ko (this sadness is too much)
pero hayan ka, nakangiti (but then you're there, smiling)
tumatawa't ngumingisi, (laughing and giggling)
mayroon kang katabi (with someone besides you)
kahit hindi mo nasabi (you never told me)
pinabayaan mo akong mag-isa (you left me all alone)
ah, alam ko na (now I know)
kasi bumalik na siya... (because she/he has returned)
