If It Kills me by Jason Mraz

Hello, tell me you know, yeah, you've figured me out
Something gave it away
And it would be such a beautiful moment
To see the look on your face
To know that I know that you know now

And baby that's a case of my wishful thinking
You know nothing
'Cause you and I, why we go carrying on for hours on end
We get along much better than you and your boyfriend

Well, how long can I go on like this,
Wishing to kiss you
Before I rightly explode
And this double life I lead isn't healthy for me
In fact it makes me nervous
If I get caught I could be risking it all
Well, baby there's a lot that I miss in case I'm wrong

If I should be so bold, I'd ask you to hold my heart in your hand
Tell you from the start how I've longed to be your man
But I never said a word I guess I'm gonna miss my chance again

Well, all I really want to do is love you
A kind much closer than friends use
But I still can't say it after all we've been through

And all I really want from you is to feel me
It's a feeling inside that keeps building
And I will find a way to you if it kills me, if it kills me
It might kill me

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Unforbidden shadows of you formed yesterday

I ran away to a room here on the bay

Interrupted life again, another new beginning,

Where the silence echoes; you're no longer with me.

Through the darkness I would walk in the streets.

Confessions never seemed to provide me with a release

Held me down and tried to cure me, tried to give me reason.

But nothing could separate this burdened mind from me.

Here and now, I feel that I'm embracing freedom

Even though I am alone, but that's okay.

And looking out to a different sky will disengage me

Absence is never the answer, I know, but it serves as my shade.

I do not seek and do not intend to find

A calmer ocean or a sun that will never rise.

My world will never change and time will bring you to my thoughts

And I'll move on and then forget you all over again.

Moving on, I can forgive you all over again.

Here and now, I feel that I'm embracing freedom

Even though I may be alone, but that's okay.

And looking out onto a different sky, it seems so easy,

Absence is never the answer, I know, but it serves as my shade.

In early 2009, I sold 6 pcs to HRH Sultan & Sulatanah Pahang's resident along jalan U-Thant. And one of the sold pieces is STUPEFY I. That was among few artwork that I've started experimenting using candles or wax on my canvases. And now, I have managed to improved the way to handle them, hope to create more stroke from it! *wink* And this few week I have been playing with lots of colours of wax that I bought from Ikea and few other place. And guess what, I love the effect and of course the smell!!!

This piece particularly, was inspired by this song sung by a Malaysian group called XPDC many years ago. While listening to this song, I have an image of a reflection of my previously failed relationship but I've got through it and it has ended recently. I'm glad it was over and I cherish all the good memories together. The bad ones? May it won't happen again in the future. Insya-Allah =) So, enjoy!

Di telan pahit, hendak ku buang terasa sayang
Engkau bermadu, hendak ku minum engkau beracun
Kau bisa hingga punah-ranah dan mati akan diriku
Kau kebumikanlah aku di sini

Kau serang hendap cinta yang berbunga di hatiku
Berikan racun pada aku yang sedang dahaga
Cintamu membakar aku hingga jadi abu
Bergunakah aku lagi untukmu

Dewasalah aku dalam perjalanan hari ini
Binasalah aku, andai dikudakan telunjukmu

Bayangkanlah Lamanmu Berhias Api
Sampai Bila Rumahmu Mampu Berdiri
Sebelum Dipunahkan

Bayangkanlah Lahirmu Ke Alam Ini
Sampai Akhir Hayat Mu Masih Merintih
Menagih Kedamaian

Dalam Hati Terlintas Satu Soalan
Mana Hilang Keinsanan

Bayangkanlah Lautmu Dilanda Taufan
Sampai Bila Layarmu Mampu Bertahan
Sebelum Kau Tenggelam

Bayangkanlah Jagamu Tak Pernah Aman
Sampai Malam Lenamu Rasa Terancam
Kau Dalam Ketakutan

Dalam Hati Terlintas Satu Soalan
Mana Hilang Keinsanan

Mana Hilang Kasih Sayang
Diberikan Tuhan Pada Kita Insan
Hingga Kita Biar Saja Hujan Airmata
Yang Melimpah
