Nateman – PUSO AT ISIP Lyrics

PUSO AT ISIP Lyrics by Nateman
(Feat. Yung Bawal & Baby Blood)
(I’m hard to love with my chaotic life, but don’t do what I dislike.)

Mahirap mahalin ang isang tulad ko, buhay ko medyo magulo
Pero dipende sa ibubungad mo, wag gumawa ng di ko gusto

Mahirap mahalin ang isang tulad ko, buhay ko medyo magulo
Pero dipende sa ibubungad mo, wag gumawa ng di ko gusto

Sino pipiliin ko?
Mahal ko o mahal ako
Di ko kayang mag panggap
Na mabait banal ako

Puso’t isip nagtatalo
Sino ang pakikinggan?
Ayaw kong makasakit
Kaso ako masasaktan

Paglayo na lang ba yung sagot sa pagkukulang ko
Madalas tinatakasan ang napangakuan ko

Parang bata mabilis mag bago ang isip
Hindi humihinde sa mga alok walang limit

Kung sino-sino ang nakakasama ko na chikas
Sa maynila o probinsya man ng pilipinas

Ibang lahi na turista ini-ingles ako, yung mga pinay naman ay ini-impress ako

Paraiso parang ayaw ko na umuwi, kaso kailangan ako ng kalsada sandali

Tumitili mga tao kapag
Nasa stage ako
Pag nasa entablado pakiramdam nasa space ako

Mahirap mahalin ang isang tulad ko, buhay ko medyo magulo
Pero dipende sa ibubungad mo, wag gumawang di ko gusto

Mahirap mahalin ang isang tulad ko, buhay ko medyo magulo
Pero dipende sa ibubungad mo, wag gumawa ng di ko gusto

Hindi ko gusto
Madala sa tukso
Kaso ang damdamin ko sayo nabugso
Ikaw ang mundo
Hatid at sundo
Kakatitig ko sayo muntik mabunggo

Hindi ko gusto
Madala sa tukso
Kaso ang damdamin ko sayo nabugso
Ikaw ang mundo
Hatid at sundo
Kakatitig ko sayo muntik mabunggo

Mahirap mahalin ang isang tulad ko, buhay ko medyo magulo
Pero dipende sa ibubungad mo, wag gumawang di ko gusto

Mahirap mahalin ang isang tulad ko, buhay ko medyo magulo
Pero dipende sa ibubungad mo, wag gumawa ng di ko gusto

Lyrics Summary: The singer admits they are difficult to love with a chaotic life, but warns others not to do things they dislike. They are torn between choosing someone they love or someone who loves them, unable to pretend to be a good person. Their heart and mind are in conflict, and they don’t want to hurt anyone but fear getting hurt themselves. They consider if distance is the answer, often running from promises. Their mind changes quickly, and they enjoy socializing with different people, from locals to tourists, across the Philippines. They feel alive on stage but are intensely drawn to one person, who feels like their entire world.

Song Meaning: This song captures the raw honesty of someone who knows they’re a complicated partner. The singer openly admits their life is messy and chaotic—they’re impulsive, easily tempted, and constantly surrounded by distractions from their music career to romantic attention across the Philippines. Yet beneath this restless lifestyle lies a genuine internal struggle. Their heart and mind are at war, torn between choosing someone they love versus someone who loves them, fearing they’ll hurt others or get hurt themselves.

The recurring warning—”it’s hard to love someone like me”—isn’t just an apology; it’s a boundary. They’re saying, “This is who I am, take it or leave it, but don’t try to change me.” Interestingly, amidst the chaos, there’s one person who centers them—someone whose presence feels like “the whole world,” making them almost crash from staring too long. It’s a confession that even the most turbulent souls find someone who makes them want to pause, even if they’re not sure they can stay still.
