Ikaw At Ako (I Choose You)

Verse 1 - English)

I remember when you first walked in

Just a quiet light in a crowded room

Didn't know back then where the story would end

Or how deeply my heart would bloom

Jhea Carley, you were just a distant melody

A sweet song playing in my mind

Now every step of the road I take

Is a path I want us to find

(Chorus - Tagalog & English)

Ikaw pa rin ang pipiliin

Araw-araw, sa bawat sandali

When the world gets heavy and nights are cold

Ikaw pa rin ang aking uwi

Through every storm, through every trial

Sa hirap at ginhawa, ikaw lang talaga

If I had to live this life again

I’d still choose you, aking sinta

(Verse 2 - Tagalog)

Nadaan na natin ang mga gabi

Na tila walang solusyon ang tampuhan

Mga salitang hindi sinasadya

At mga luhang hindi mapigilan

Ngunit hindi ka kailanman lumayo

Nandito ka lang sa aking tabi

Jhea Carley, ang 'yong pagmamahal

Ang nagbigay ng liwanag sa dilim ng gabi

(Spoken Word Verse - Tagalog & English)

(Soft acoustic guitar strumming)

Look, love isn’t always easy.

There are days when the path gets steep, and the words just come out wrong.

Pero sa gitna ng lahat ng ingay at gulo ng mundo...

Ikaw lang ang nagpapatahimik sa puso ko.

Jhea, you stayed when it was easier to leave.

You held on when the ground beneath us shook.

And that's why this isn't just a feeling anymore—

It’s a promise. A decision I make with every breath I take.

(Chorus - Tagalog & English)

Ikaw pa rin ang pipiliin

Araw-araw, sa bawat sandali

When the world gets heavy and nights are cold

Ikaw pa rin ang aking uwi

Through every storm, through every trial

Sa hirap at ginhawa, ikaw lang talaga

If I had to live this life again

I’d still choose you, aking sinta

(Outro - English & Tagalog)

Love ain't always easy, baby

But every single road I view

Jhea Carley, my whole life through...

Ikaw at ikaw pa rin.

I choose you.

Oh, I choose you.
