Time is a very cruel thing. It moves on its own accord, and we are all subjected to its merciless march. And in life, there are many times when we feel that we’re running out of time.It’s always those promises that get hit the hardest. Those promises that never came to just because we ran out of time. Like a son hoping his father would see him in his full glory, or a lover that couldn’t seal the relationship in time before it all fell apart.

I wrote this song while I was playing a minor chord progression, and suddenly thought of the past. It somehow always felt that I was just one step away from the goal before everything fell apart around me. People who placed their hopes on me, people whom I made promises to.

I wrote the chorus first and was suddenly overwhelmed by emotions. “I’m sorry, I could not fly nor shine”, and immediately my eyes were teary. I don’t know if its because of the time, or because I’ve been bottling it up for so long, but this was the first song I wrote that I could not sing without choking on the lyrics. Of all the songs I’ve written, this one hit closest to my heart, and voiced out those feelings that I could not find words for all along.

And here I share with you the lyrics (will post the recording once I buy a mic), to this untitled song:

it’s all gone now
is there nothing more i can do
tell me how can i let it go

it’s all gone now
and there’s no more turning back
there’s nothing left but painful regrets

have i been a sore sight
always the one to dissapoint
at best i’m just your brightest night

i’m sorry, i can’t fly nor shine
i tried but i could not give you a better life
Yes I made a promise
but maybe now it’s too late
oh i’m sorry, i ran out of time
