you are my sweetest downfall...

i heard a song some time ago from pbb, during the wendy-bruce hype. i noticed that the song was always played when the love team had its "kilig moments" on the show. not that i got kilig, but you know those usual pinoy love team kilig factors that producers take advantage of. lets just say that the producers of the show really know how to sell the show to people. one kilig moment matched with a perfect song, equals perfect moment? not really. its more of a lucrative moment for networks. more viewers mean high ratings. and high ratings mean more advertisements, that equals to mucho dinero!

well, anyway, its not about wendy nor bruce, networks, ads or money, but i happen to like that song they play on those kilig moments. i always wonder about the title and the singer of the song. sadly, i never really can decipher the lyrics to be able to surf for it on the net. but anyway, thanks to a co-worker, whos a music addict like i am. sya lang pala ang sagot sa aking tanong.

you are my sweetest downfall
i loved you first, i loved you first
beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth
i have to go, i have to go
your hair was long when we first met

samson went back to bed
not much hair left on his head
he ate a slice of wonder bread and went right back to bed
and history books forgot about us and the bible didn't mention us
the bible didn't mention us, not even once

you are my sweetest downfall
i loved you first , i loved you first
beneath the stars came falling on our heads
but there just soft light, there just soft light
your hair was long when we first met

samson came to my bed
told me that my hair was red
he told me i was beautiful and came into my bed
oh i cut his hair myself one night
a pair of dull scissors and the yellow light
and he told me that i'd done alright
and kissed me till the morning light, the morning light
and he kissed me till the morning light

samson came back to bed
not much hair left on his head
ate a slice of wonderbread and went right back to bed
oh, we couldn't bring the columns down
yeah we couldn't destroy a single one
and history books forgot about us
and the bible didn't mention us, not even once

you are my sweetest downfall
i loved you first

before i knew the lyrics, i never really thought that it was like about samson. hehe.... i guess i was drawn to the song before because of the melody and how it was sang. and as ive said, i never can understand the lyrics that much then. but anyway, i still love the song. and when i listen to it now, i always think about one thing when i hear the lines " you are my sweetest downfall....," that is, who was my sweetest downfall? i stopped one time and thought for a while. and i came to the answer that i guess all of them are. if i was not theirs, then thats okay. they are entitled to have their own assessment of whatever relationship that we had. one thing i can say, modesty aside, is that they will never be loved the same way that i did ever again. i can say that boldly because i know myself too well. and i know how much i love when i choose to. i guess my friends can back me up on that.

i believe that it is always sweet when you fall. the hardest and most bitter part is when you have to get up from that fall and leave...
