TIME SLIPPED BY

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

⸻

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

⸻

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

⸻

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

⸻

Time slipped by

That’s all it was

Time slipped by
