Jai wanted her own version of the song she wrote, so i spent 2 nights in Xanland, Katipunan and made her version ^_^

I slowed it down abit, took out the distortions but tried to maintain the heaviness using piano and strings sections. about 3 layers of piano and 2 layers of strings, 3 layers of acoustic guitars, drums and bass. i also adjusted the pitch range to fit Jai's voice.

Special thanks to Jeff Cabral for backup vocals, and to Mayee for lending us Maggie for recording.

Enjoy!

The sun is gone today
I’m sure it’s etched on your face for all to see
So full of pain, so full of hurt
From me
Its driving insane
By the thought of you sitting there
Clawing at your hair, wide-eyed and so full of despair

And I’m sorry
I know you don’t wanna hear it again
But I’m sorry
And there’s no way that time could bend

(chorus)
Not that I want to fly away
But I just can’t stay
Coz my heart had come back to me
Now you’re left with no words to say
We’re two worlds away
And to you I have nothing more
So I’ll walk out the door
With goodbye

Funny how things always end
The last way you expected them to
But believe me I tried constantly
i wish you were always everything to me
And I’m so full of love that I can’t give
Or I just don’t know how, with you

Coz I can’t love you
The way you love me
And I can’t be yours
And we just cant be

(chorus)

(bridge)
And from the bottom of my heart I know it’s true
But nothing could stop me
From falling away from you
But I had to do what I had to do
‘Cause I wanted you to know what’s true
And I am falling into this
dragged into a deep abyss
And now I’m all alone
no other heart to call my own
coz I’m in a place right now
Where I’m free from you
I never wanted you to hurt
Never wanted you to wound
But your world would have never changed
Unless I crashed it into the sea
Two worlds we want will never ever meet
Sea and sky
I’ve walked out the door for you
With goodbye

The original version is heavier and with a more alternative rock arrangement, click this link to listen to it ^_^

This song was written by my sister, Jai.  it's her story, but actually its also mine in many ways ^_^ this is how we express the way we know best... through music. through a song.

Worked on this for a whole day, my fingers are so sore from all the guitar layers, it hurts to type.

...to everyone on the other end of this song.
