If Time Let Me

(Intro – ticking clock, reversed pad swell, distant vocal echo)
I tried to live inside the memory
Where nothing ever broke in me
But time keeps pulling at my sleeve
Saying, “You can’t stay, you gotta leave”
(Verse 1 – minimal beat, soft pluck, intimate vocal)
I wake up where we used to be
Empty space, but it’s haunting me
Every wall still knows your name
Every silence sounds the same
(Pre-Build – arps rising, subtle bass pulse)
I chased the past till it bled me dry
Every “what if” every “why”
If regret could turn the hands
I’d make you understand
(Build – snare rolls, reversed risers, breathy vocal chops)
If I could pause the fall
I’d give you everything
But time don’t hear my calls
It just keeps pulling me
(DROP – emotional melodic drop, wide supersaws)
If time let me stay
I’d never walk away
I’d hold you through the break
Before love slipped to pain
If time let me bend
I’d be who I was then
But clocks don’t second-guess
They only move ahead
(Verse 2 – deeper groove, delayed vocal tails)
I tried to love what’s left of me
Through the cracks you left in me
Every future feels unsure
When the past felt so damn pure
(Pre-Build – filtered chords, rising tension)
I learned too late what mattered most
You don’t feel it till it’s ghost
Every second that I waste
Is another you I can’t replace
(Build – faster snares, pitch rising)
Count it up, count it down
Every spin, every sound
Hold the breath, feel the weight
This is where we hesitate
(DROP 2 – fuller, heavier, emotional)
If time let me stay
I’d never walk away
I’d hold you through the break
Before love slipped to pain
If time let me bend
I’d be who I was then
But clocks don’t second-guess
They only move ahead
(Bridge – breakdown, piano + raw vocal)
Maybe healing isn’t going back
Maybe strength is facing facts
I can miss you, I can cry
And still let the future try
(Final Build – hopeful shift, risers with warmth)
Hands off the past, eyes ahead
I’m still breathing, not dead
If I can’t rewind the flame
I’ll learn to burn a different way
(FINAL DROP – bittersweet but uplifting)
If time won’t let me stay
I’ll find another way
To carry what we made
Without reliving pain
If time won’t ever bend
I’ll love you as a then
And step into what’s next
With scars across my chest
(Outro – pads fading, ticking slows, final vocal echo)
If time let me…
If time let me…
