Lyrics
[Intro – raw piano + falsetto hums]
(Ad-lib: “Yeahhh… ohhh no no no…”)
Only in time…
That’s what they say…
But they don’t feel this weight…
⸻
[Verse 1 – smoky vocals, cracks on words, soul in every phrase]
I been holdin’ on by a thread
Smilin’ through what I never said
I said I’m fine, yeah, I swore I was
But the mirror don’t lie like I does
(Run: “Uhhh uhhh no no no”)
Your voice still lingers in the hall
Like I ain’t moved on at all
You’re a shadow on my skin
Every time I breathe you in
(Ad-lib: “Can’t shake you, can’t shake you off”)
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – falsetto lifts, emotional build-up]
Every scar got your name
Every tear tastes the same
People say “It fades away”
But I still bleed every day
(Run: “Oooohhh–ohhhh–uhh”)
⸻
[Chorus – full vocal stretch, powerful belts, string hits]
Only in time… I’ll forget your face — yeah yeah
Only in time… I won’t feel this space — oh no no
You tore right through, but they say I’ll mend
Still waitin’ on that day to begin
Only in time — only in time —
I’ll stop callin’ you mine…
*(Ad-lib: “But not tonight — no no no…”)
(Run: “Yeeaaahh oohhh whoaa”)
⸻
[Verse 2 – more rasp, more cry in the voice, swelling strings]
I gave you love I didn’t have
Built a home in your aftermath
Now I’m left with echoes, not a sound
But they keep pullin’ me down
*(Run: “Down, down, down…”)
(Ad-lib: “Still in your gravity, baby”)
Tried to run but my feet won’t move
I pray but I don’t feel truth
Guess healing’s just a long game
With no finish line in my lane
⸻
[Bridge – stripped back, voice cracks, falsetto flips]
One day I’ll wake up free
One day I’ll stop asking “what’s wrong with me?”
One day this ache will die
But ‘til then, I’m stuck in the why…
*(Run: “Wooooaaahh ohhh — yeeeeaaaahhh”)
(Ad-lib: “Only in tiiiiiime”)
⸻
[Final Chorus – big soul climax, vocal fireworks, strings soaring]
Only in time… I’ll stand up tall — yeah yeah yeah
Only in time… I won’t miss your calls — nooo
My heart will beat without the pain
I’ll dance again in the rain — someday…
Only in time — only in time —
I’ll stop callin’ you mine… ohhh nooo
*(Run: “Yeeeaahh—uh uh uh—whoaaaaa”)
(Ad-lib: “That day just ain’t today…”)
⸻
[Outro – whisper falsetto over soft piano]
Only in time…
Only in time…
(Ad-lib: “Maybe tomorrow…”)
