“Out of Time”

“Out of Time”
Intro (spoken/rap)
Yeah…
It starts with a second on a broken clock
Verse 1 (rap)
I kept counting every minute that I couldn’t save
Every promise turning into what we never gave
I was building up a future on a thin disguise
While the truth was written clearly in your eyes
Every step forward felt like two steps back
Carrying the weight of a heart attack
Tryna hold it together with a fractured mind
Running in circles just to rewind
I tried so hard just to make it right
Stayed up fighting every night
But the more I gave, the less remained
Standing in the pouring rain
Pre-Chorus (melodic)
Now the clock keeps ticking louder
And the silence’s getting colder
Chorus (big, emotional)
In the end it fades away
All the words we didn’t say
All the fights we couldn’t win
All the cracks beneath our skin
I gave everything I had
Every good and every bad
But in the end it slips through time
You were never really mine
Verse 2 (rap)
I remember every shadow on the wall
Every time you let me fall
Every “maybe”, every lie
Every silent goodbye
I was chasing something I could never hold
Turning silver dreams to gold
But the glitter doesn’t stay
When the light just walks away
And I tried so hard to understand
Why it’s slipping through my hands
Every bridge I tried to mend
Led me right back to the end
Pre-Chorus (melodic)
Now the echo’s getting louder
And the distance growing wider
Chorus (stronger)
In the end it fades away
All the words we didn’t say
All the fights we couldn’t win
All the cracks beneath our skin
I gave everything I had
Every good and every bad
But in the end it slips through time
You were never really mine
Bridge (soft build → intense)
I won’t chase what’s already gone
I won’t beg to hold on
If it breaks, let it break
If it burns, let it ache
Final Chorus (full power)
In the end it fades away
Nothing left for me to say
All the tears we couldn’t hide
All the truth we pushed aside
I gave everything I had
Now I’m stronger from the crash
Cause in the end I finally see
I was losing me
Outro (quiet)
It doesn’t matter how hard I tried…
I’m done losing me.
