GABE BONDOC – First Choice

I always hoped that my love would be
Shared with somebody who cared for me
Well, you’ve always been the one that I know for sure
I’m not the only one with the list that you’re on
Wish I could tell you the things I know
Like you’re the one, we can take things slow
Well, I’ve tried so many times but I’m shy and it shows
Opportunity knocks, but I’m never home
Oh, I’m falling so fast, don’t know how long I’m gon’ last
You have always been my first choice, you know
My heart’s been yours for so long
And it knows right where it’s belong with you
Belongs to you
Never been good at this dating game (Oh no)
Things get so strange I’m always to blame
Well, I’m awkward but I’m real and I hope that she see’s
There’s charm in being with someone just like me
I’m full of facts that you might not know (She might not know)
Hope that’s a plus, plus I’m always home
Always answer your calls when you’re bored and alone
I’m ahead of myself, need to slow my roll
Oh, I’m falling so fast, don’t know how long I’m gon’ last
You have always been my first choice, you know
My heart’s been yours for so long
Well it knows right where it’s belong with you
Belongs to you
Oh I, I try to tell you what I need to
If only you can read my mind
My eyes they’re lying when they see you
They only wanna be with you baby
Oh, I’m falling so fast, don’t know how long I’m gon’ last
You have always been my first choice, you know
My heart’s been yours for so long
And it knows right where it’s belong with you
Belongs to you

GABE BONDOC – Fickle

I told her I loved her
But I can’t remember why
This is a bad, bad sign
I can’t even hold her
Just sittin’ here as she cries
I’m just a bad, bad guy

I’d cut it out for good
Cut it out for good
If I could…
Wish I still felt the same
My fickle heart’s to blame
My fickle heart’s to blame
Only knows to push away
it never wants to stay
it never wants to stay
I’d cut it out for good
Cut it out for good
If I could…

She wants me to tell her
All the things that I used to say
I don’t feel that way…
So she says to say something
If only to fill the space
I’ll try, I’ll try, I’ll try

I’d cut it out for good
Cut it out for good
If I could…
Wish that I still felt the same
My fickle heart’s to blame
My fickle heart’s to blame
Only knows to push away
It never wants to stay
It never wants to stay
Oh, I’d cut it out for good
Cut it out for good
If I could…

Wish that I knew
What the problem was
Why I’m so cruel?
The instability
No, I’m not happy when I’m happy
Curse this fickle heart inside me
Move on…
You’d better go

Wish that I still felt the same
My fickle heart’s to blame
My fickle heart’s to blame
Only knows to push away
It never wants to stay
It never wants to stay
Oh, I’d cut it out for good
Cut it out for good
If I could…

GABE BONDOC – Trenches

[Verse 1:]
Girl tell me what, we’re fighting for,
I wanna hear it coming from you baby
This field of battle, this aimless war,
I’m dodging bullets waiting in the trenches,
This isn’t what i signed up for,
I don’t know how to change where happened,
Who’s keeping track, who’s keeping score,
I don’t think anyone is counting the burns
There’s no harm in dropping arms,
I won’t fire if you don’t

[Chorus:]
There’s no need to fight, to prove your right [2x]
There’s no need to fight, you know I’m on your side (your side)
There’s no need to fight, to prove your right [2x]
There’s no need to fight, you know I’m on your side (your side)

[Verse 2:]
We’re treading lightly, this field of mines,
We got to keep an eye on where we’re going
Let’s hold it steady, we’ll walk the line
Girl if we stick together we’ll survive
I won’t keep secrets, don’t tell me lies
There ain’t a thing that’s gonna come between us
I know you’re ready, and so am I

Come and take my hand yenno you’ll feel high
There’s no harm in dropping arms, I won’t fire if you don’t.

[Chorus:]
There’s no need to fight, to prove your right [2x]
There’s no need to fight, you know I’m on your side (your side)
There’s no need to fight, to prove your right [2x]
There’s no need to fight, you know I’m on your side (your side)

[Bridge:]
You’ll do no more harm, I refuse not to defuse this
Gotta be strong, drop arms, gotta stay calm,
Gotta be strong, drop arms, gotta stay calm,
You’ll do no more harm. ohh.

[GUITAR SOLO]

[Chorus:]
There’s no need to fight, to prove your right [2x]
There’s no need to fight, you know I’m on your side (your side)
There’s no need to fight, to prove your right [2x]
There’s no need to fight, you know I’m on your side (your side)

GABE BONDOC – Dorm Room

There’s the chair
That sat next to the wall
That I leaned on
In the heat of it all
I said a few things
As I stared at the lamp

Oh, the bulb was burnt out
And all the spares were out

I can still feel
the way the wall paper peeled
I tore a piece of it off
and I let it fall to the floor
With a tear
you wet the room
It was white
like the snow in the globe on your dresser

I think I left a piece of my heart
in your dresser
in case you wanna start over

I think I left a piece of my heart
In your dresser
In case you wanna start over

I think I left a piece of my heart
In your dresser
In case you wanna start over

I think I left a piece of my heart
In your dresser
In the dresser

That’s the spot
Where you said what you said
with your hand on your foot
sitting at the foot of the bed
They were strong words
Strong like the wood of the door frame
Chipped from the day that you moved in

I could hear you
It’s just the light from the window
Distractingly casted
A peculiar shadow
A tear
You wet the room, it was white
Like the snow in the globe on your dresser

I think I left a piece of my heart
in your dresser
in case you wanna start over

I think I left a piece of my heart
In your dresser
In case you wanna start over

I think I left a piece of my heart
In your dresser
In case you wanna start over

I think I left a piece of my heart
In your dresser
In the dresser

In the room where it all began
It’s only fitting that it has to end
In the room where it all began
It’s only fitting this is where it ends

I think I left a piece of my heart
in your dresser
in case you wanna start over

I think I left a piece of my heart
In your dresser…

GABE BONDOC – By Your Side

You think that I’d leave your side, baby?
You know me better than that
Think I’d let you down
When you’re down on your knees?

I wouldn’t do that
I’ll do right when you’re wrong
I’ll, oh
And if only you can see into me

Oh, when you call
I’ll be there
To hold you tight to me

When you’re on the outside, baby
When you can’t get in
I’ll show you, you’re so much better
Than you know

When you are lost, when you’re alone
Yeah, you can’t get back again
I will find you, darling and I’ll bring you back

And if you wanna cry
I’ll be here to dry your eyes
Listen baby, and in time you’ll be fine

You think that I’d leave your side, baby?
You know me better than that
Think I’d let you down
When you’re down on your knees?

I wouldn’t do that
I’ll do you right when you’re wrong
I’ll, oh
And if only you could see into me

Oh, when you’re cold
I’ll be there
To hold you tight
To me

Oh, when you’re alone
I’ll be there
By your side, baby

GABE BONDOC – Black Book

I had a small black book
but I threw it away
when you told me your name
I gotta keep you babe

I’ll call quits
With all them other chicks
You’ve got me wondering
Maybe there could be more to this

This is the first time I’ve ever felt
All of the feelings that I’m feeling now
I wanna know if we
Can make this happen baby, cuz’ you got me

I wanna make this real
Somehow you make me feel
Like you’re the only girl in the world

I gotta make you see
How beautiful it’d be
If we could make this happen baby

I’ll be prince charming
If you’ll be mine, darlin’
And you’ll be my only
Will you be my only girl?

You’re so fine
Better yet let me say
That I find you divine
I’ve got to keep you mine

I lose sleep
But I’m dreaming constantly
You’ve got me day dreaming conciously
Honestly, I believe..

This is the first time I’ve ever felt
Whatever feeling that I’m feeling now
I wanna know if we
Can make this happen baby, cuz’ you got me

I wanna make this real
Somehow you make me feel
Like you’re the only girl in the world

I gotta make you see
How beautiful it’d be
If we could make this happen baby

I’ll be prince charming
If you’ll be mine, darlin’
And you’ll be my only
Will you be my only girl?

This, this isn’t a drill
I can’t keep still
This love is real
Now, all of that time I spent without you baby
Well, that all ends here
If you’ll let that end here
I wanna, I’ve just got to know if we
Can make this happen baby, cuz’ you got me

GABE BONDOC – Better

He’s the kind of guy
Who would lie through his teeth
When he needs to fake it
And he’ll make you smile for a while
Til he meets someone new to play with
(Oh yeah)
I’ll always be the boy that you played with in the street
If you treat me just like all the little boys that you meet
Well, I may not have swag, but girl I know that I’ve got heart

So don’t you do it (no)
Don’t be a part of his master plan
Believe me as I say that he ain’t your man
Ain’t your better half
You’d see who is if you’d choose me (choose me)

Well I’m no him, but he’s no me
I’m better, oh well I’m better, baby
I’m so sure if you’d choose me
You’ll see, oh you’ll see, girl
Not just the boy that you’ve grown up with
Now I’m the man that you should come be with
Well I know I ain’t him, but he ain’t me
He ain’t me

Look, he’s got a gift
Make you feel like he’s it
So much charm, it’s blinding
Sure the grass is green, that don’t mean
That there ain’t any snakes in hiding
(Oh) I wanna be the guy that can sweep you off your feet
Give you all the love I know you feel in your dreams
Well, I may not have swag, but girl I know that I’ve got heart

So don’t you do it (no)
Don’t be a part of his master plan
Believe me as I say this; he ain’t your man
Ain’t your better half
You’d see who is if you’d choose me (choose me)
Well I’m no him, but he’s no me
I’m better, oh well I’m better, baby
I’m so sure if you’d choose me
You’ll see, oh well you’ll see, girl
Not just the boy that you’ve grown up with
Now I’m the man that you should come and be with
Well I know I ain’t him, girl but he’s no me

Falling’s so easy when you’re not looking
Oh well I hope you’re looking ’cause
Don’t take too much for you to lose your footing
(Well now)
I’m always there to catch you if you lose your step
But you don’t have to fall to know there’s better yet
Well I know I ain’t him girl, no I’m glad I ain’t

Don’t be a part of his master plan
Believe me as I say this; he ain’t your man
Ain’t your better half
You’d see who is if you’d choose me (choose me)
Well I’m no him, but he’s no me
I’m better, oh well I’m better, baby
I’m so sure if you’d choose me
You’ll see, oh you’ll see, girl
Not just the boy that you’ve grown up with
Now I’m the man that you should come and be with
Well I know I ain’t him, girl
No no no, he ain’t me
No, he ain’t me
He’ll never be, he’ll never be like me

GABE BONDOC – Excuse

All the music I’ve got..
Couldn’t save the love you lost
Couldn’t pave another day into our love
In the court where you are queen
And your love, it reigns supreme
What have I got?
Nothing, babe
I won’t say that I understand when i really can’t
I’m no hero, I’m just a man aching for your hands
So if you say our love is gone, then I guess I’m moving on
Here’s my lousy excuse for moving on
Sure we’ve taken turns
They weren’t always for the worst
They’ll be more than one time where you’ll think back and smile
And though I could not afford
All the things you asked me for
You know my love for you it always came first
I won’t say that I understand when i really can’t
I’m no hero, I’m just a man aching’ for your hands
So if you say our love is gone, then I guess I’m moving on
Here’s my lousy excuse for moving on
I will never forget your shapely silhouette
Nor the beautiful parts of your face you say you hate
So If takes forever for me to get over you
So be it, babe
I won’t say that I understand when I really can’t
I’m no hero, I’m just a man, can’t you see I am
So if you say your love is gone, then I guess I’m moving on
Here’s my lousy excuse for moving on
