[Intro – warm pads, filtered drums] Yeah… I should’ve said it sooner. [Verse 1 – smooth, reflective] You waited on me longer than I knew, I was busy running from the truth. I said, “Give me time,” like time was free, Didn’t know it was costing me. You showed up every night the same, I kept thinking love could wait. Now I see it in your eyes— You already said goodbye. [Pre-Chorus – soft realization] I don’t blame you for moving on, I was silent way too long. Guess I thought you’d always stay, But I was wrong. [Chorus – silky, regretful] I’m out of time, out of chances, Out of words I should’ve said. You gave your heart with open hands, I left it waiting instead. Now you’re smiling with somebody new, Doing things I never tried. I’m not mad at you, I swear— I’m just out of time. [Post-Chorus – instrumental glide] Mm… Yeah… [Verse 2 – restrained pain] I see you glowing from afar, Living like you finally are. All those plans we never made, You’re checking off with no delay. Funny how it hits me now, When I don’t get to hold you down. I had the key inside my hand, Still let the moment pass. [Pre-Chorus – deeper acceptance] I was too comfortable in maybe, Too scared to make it real. You needed something solid, I was stuck on how I feel. [Chorus – fuller, layered] I’m out of time, out of reasons, Out of ways to fix the past. You needed more than promises I never made to last. Now you’re laughing in a different room, In a life I watched go by. I don’t hate you for moving on— I’m just out of time. [Bridge – stripped, honest] If I could rewind the clock, I’d love you loud, I’d never stop. But love don’t work like that, And I know that now. [Final Chorus – smooth resolve] I’m out of time, but not bitter, Just finally understanding why. You were ready for forever, I was learning how to try. If you’re happy, that’s enough for me, Even if it’s not my side. I won’t chase what I delayed— I’ll just accept I’m out of time. [Outro – fading pads, soft echo] Yeah… Too late to stay… But right on time to learn.
