[Intro] Tick-tock, tick-tock, Thought I had time, but the time don’t stop. Click-click, rewind, then drop— Every second's a lesson I forgot. [Verse 1] I bought a lie in a plastic wrap, Signed my name in a thunderclap, Said "just one time" but it doubled back, Now I sleep on a bed made of broken tracks. Mama said, “Be still, be wise,” But I danced with the fire in devil’s disguise. Now I count regrets like lullabies, And I wear my shame in a thin disguise. [Pre-Chorus] Oh no, where did I go wrong? One step, and now I’m gone... Pulled by my shadow’s song, The night’s too loud, and the road’s too long. [Chorus] Time’s a thief, and it don’t give back, All the moments lost in the pitch-black cracks. Every bad choice plays like a track, Looping through my head till it fades to black. If I could rewind, would I still choose pain? I danced in the fire and prayed for rain. But now I know, the scars remain— Time took its toll, and left the stain. [Verse 2] Tried to outrun guilt in a secondhand car, Pushing past fate like a falling star. But the map was wrong, and the road was tar, And every mile just showed who you really are. They told me “stop,” but I hit that gas, Laughed too loud as I watched time pass. Now I sit still in the aftermath— A ghost with a pen and a paper path. [Bridge A] We lose ourselves in midnight plans, Trade gold for smoke in desperate hands. I made a deal with the silence and sand, Now the hourglass breaks where I used to stand. [Chorus] Time’s a thief, and it don’t give back, All the moments lost in the pitch-black cracks. Every bad choice plays like a track, Looping through my head till it fades to black. If I could rewind, would I still choose pain? I danced in the fire and prayed for rain. But now I know, the scars remain— Time took its toll, and left the stain. [Verse 3] Now I talk to walls like they understand, Pour my guilt in the dirt like contraband. My friends moved on, they drew their line, And I stayed stuck at the edge of time. The clocks don’t cry, but I hear the ticks, Each one another trick I picked. They said “grow up,” I said “too quick,” Now I'm fading out like a scratched-out script. [Bridge B] If pain was currency, I’d be rich… If guilt was gravity, I’d never lift. I wore my sins like fashion fits, Now I’m the ghost that time forgets. [Chorus] Time’s a thief, and it don’t give back, All the moments lost in the pitch-black cracks. Every bad choice plays like a track, Looping through my head till it fades to black. If I could rewind, would I still choose pain? I danced in the fire and prayed for rain. But now I know, the scars remain— Time took its toll, and left the stain. [Final Chorus} Time’s a thief, and I let it win, Watched it wear me down from within. I ran from truth with a reckless grin, But now I’m facing what I’ve been. If I could rewind, would I still be me? Or someone better, someone free? I can’t fix the past, but I still believe— I might heal... if I still breathe. [Outro] Tick... tock... I don’t have time, but I still walk. Each step forward, each scar I keep... Time took it all— But it didn’t take me.
