Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You walked past my room Phone still in your hand I sat on the edge of the bed Waiting like you might turn back You said, “Not tonight” Didn’t look at me I said, “Alright” Like it didn’t hit me Dinner went cold Your keys hit the table You moved through the house But we weren’t stable I stopped getting up Stopped trying to try You were right there with me But we passed by ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] You said it was all for later But later never came ⸻ [Chorus] 🔥 Time slipped by Right in front of us You were living your life I was losing your love Time slipped by We didn’t say enough By the time you looked back I was already done Time slipped by We don’t get it again Time slipped by That’s just how it ends ⸻ [Verse 2] You told me be focused Don’t fall behind Said, “This world moves fast” I kept that in mind You said, “Go make music” “Go be something real” But you weren’t around For how that feels I packed up quiet Didn’t slam the door You stayed where you were Like before I waited one second For you to react You didn’t move So I didn’t come back ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] You said I’d understand When I got older ⸻ [Chorus] 🔥 Time slipped by Right in front of us You were building your life I was losing your trust Time slipped by I stopped calling your phone By the time you reached out I was already gone Time slipped by We don’t get it again Time slipped by That’s just how it ends ⸻ [Bridge] 🔥 I saw your name Let it ring out Watched it fade Didn’t press down They said you were sick Said come through I sat in the car Didn’t know what to do I remember your green hazel eyes Last time I saw you… they were closed I thought I had time I was wrong ⸻ [Final Chorus] 🔥🔥 Time slipped by Right in front of us Now I carry the weight Of what never was Time slipped by We don’t get it again All the years we lost We won’t get them again Time slipped by I see it clear You lost your son While I lost you here Time slipped by I won’t repeat I’ll be there next time If someone needs me ⸻ [Outro] Time slipped by That’s all it was Time slipped by
