[Verse 1]

Coffee shops and karaoke bars,

Pretty girls sharing laughs under umbrellas,

Neon lights paint the downtown cars,

As the rain falls soft and endless.

The days away and the miles between

Feel like oceans I can’t cross,

It’s warm outside but cold in here,

In this noght time heat I still feel lost

[Pre-Chorus]

The skies opened up for days,

Filling streets with silver rain,

Every step I take reminds me

I may never feel the same.

[Chorus]

Last night in Manila, I was a ghost,

Alone in a world of faces I don’t know,

Lost in the fog of white on white,

Knowing tomorrow only brings goodbye.

Home feels far, but your memory’s near,

In the music and the city’s tears,

Last night in Manila —

I watched our story fade so slow.

[Verse 2]

Night-life crowds keep walking by,

While I fade into the laughter,

Your name’s a whisper in the lights,

And it echoes ever after.

Away drifts into weeks gone still,

Empty arms, a heavy will,

Last one alone in a room full of dreams,

Listening to angels sing.

[Pre-Chorus]

The seasons change but I stand still,

Afraid to lose your breath, your will,

The night holds hope like a fragile flame,

But the morning feels the same.

[Chorus]

Last night in Manila, I was a ghost,

Alone in a world of faces I don’t know,

Lost in the fog of white on white,

Knowing tomorrow only brings goodbye.

Home feels far, but your memory’s near,

In the music and the city’s tears,

Last night in Manila —

I watched our story fade so slow.

[Bridge]

Maybe love’s a fleeting song,

You sing it once, it moves along,

But somewhere under foreign skies,

I found your heart and lost it twice.

[Final Chorus]

Last night in Manila, I was a ghost,

Under lights that whispered what I loved most,

The city cried, the heavens sighed,

And I let you go with the morning tide.

Home feels closer now that I know,

Every ending helps you grow,

Last night in Manila —

Was the start of letting go.
