Track 3: Fourteenth

I was alone, I was lost in the street
Got an empty heart, can't feel my own heartbeat
My life was full of blank and hollow spaces
T'was like I was just going around in circles.

I've got nowhere to go
I've got no hand to hold
I've got no name to call
As I'm running down the hall.

Pre-chorus
It was fourteenth of March when you came
It was right before graduation came
You were smiling under the rain
When you promised you'll save me from pain.

Chorus
I was stuck for fourteen seconds
My heartbeat got wild like they were running some errands
I was dazed under your gaze
Found my way through the maze
And I got fourteen questions for you
But you said you only got one for me
And my answer was yes, yes I do to you on the fourteenth
I got you on fourteenth.

I fell in love, you were there when I took the fall
My empty heart, you made it beat again
You filled in all the blank and hollow spaces
You stopped me from going around in circles.

I've got everywhere to go
I've got your hand to hold
I've got your name to call
As I gladly took the fall.

Pre-chorus
Chorus

Do you remember?
Please do remember

You were smiling under the rain daw pero ang totoo, maalinsangan talaga ang araw na iyon hahahaha. Sobrang init ng panahon... but Adam really made Agori feel like he would save her from the pain. Pero just when she thought wala nang pagsidlan ang saya sa puso niya, saka naman siya muling bumulusok pababa—pabalik sa pinagtataguan niya. Pabalik sa paniniwalang walang sinuman ang gustong manatili sa tabi niya. Contrary to almost everyone's belief, hindi nagkaroon ng relasyon sina Adam at Agori. Itong March 14, ito yung araw na nagtapat ng nararamdaman si Adam... na tinawanan lang ni Agori 'cause she thought it was just one of his sweet nothings. Sweet na nilalang kasi si Adam. At maharot. Bakit naman biglang gusto siya ng isang Adam Zorden Rupert Aragon? Never siya naguwapuhan kay Adam... but come on, campus crush, magkakagusto sa kanya? May gusto pala sa kanya?

May crush of a lifetime siyang iba... pero bakit kay Adam pa rin siya nahulog?

Naging special for Agori ang 14. 14 din niya binalak sagutin si Adam through a song (wala rito sa album na 'to). Pero bago pa dumating ang 14, may nalaman siya—which had her recoil almost immediately. Doon na nagsimula ang dark days kasi hindi niya sinabi kay Adam ang nalaman niya. She stayed, hinayaan itong manligaw... while slowly detaching herself from her growing feelings for him. Caging her heart and separating it from the rest of her being. Para hindi masyadong masakit. Para kayanin niya hanggang sa magsawa si Adam sa pagsisinungaling.

Nagsawa ba si Adam?

Eventually, yes.

Nagsisi ba si Agori?

Of course.

What if she held on a little longer? A little tighter? May magbabago kaya?

Wala. Mauubos lang siya kung hinayaan niya ang pusong magpatuloy. When she finally let go, gumaan ang lahat. Hindi masaya... pero may peace of mind.

Ayern...

Again, thank you po ulit sa support na ibinigay niyo for Track 1 and 2. Track 3 na tayo, ayeee! Who would've thought na maibabahagi ko ito balang araw? Nasa SoundCloud account ko pa rin po ito, naka-private. Lahat ng nag-pm since Track 1, makakatanggap ng link. First time na complete ang kantang ilalabas ko hahaha. Tinamad na akong putulin. Sorry na po agad sa background. It was me flipping the pages in the middle of the night. Distracting siya, actually. Huhu. May singhot moment pa nga ako sa huling chorus. One of my 2020 nights where I had to rerecord pagkauwi from a 16-hour duty... Hindi talaga magandang kombinasyon ang kasawiang matagal na inalagaan at matinding pagod.

Hayy... sabi ko, self-explanatory na 'tong kanta pero inabot pa rin ako ng 600 word count sa pagdadaldal. 😭😂

Happy listening! Happy 14! (Yep! Hinintay ko talaga itong date na 'to hahaha)
