**Running Out of Time**
(Verse 1)
I'm running out of time, can't you see?
This clock is ticking loud, it's haunting me.
Years drift like shadows, slipping through my hands,
Got so caught up in love, forgot my own plans.
l've held on tight, l've played my role, But now I'm questioning, what's it all for?
You, my true love, yet here I stand, Feeling like a ghost in this promised land.
(Chorus)
How could you steal my years away?
When another man would love me right, come what may?
I gave you my heart, put my dreams on hold,
While time keeps passing by, I grow old.
You've got my soul, but at what cost?
I'm still here, lost, amidst the love I've tossed.
(Verse 2)
I've built my life around your sweet charms,
But lately, all I feel are empty arms.
Every promise you made, every tear l've cried,
Ran down my face when you lied.
Fading like mist as the years glide by.
I thought you were the one, my safe haven,
Now I'm just wondering if I was misbehavin'.
Could've chased the sun, danced in the light,
Instead, I'm left with shadows in the dead of night.
(Chorus)
How could you steal my years away?
When another man would love me right, come what may?
I gave you my heart, put my dreams on hold,
While time keeps passing by, I grow old.
You've got my soul, but at what cost?
I'm still here, lost, amidst the love I've tossed.
(Bridge)
Like a book that's never read, pages turn to dust,
Each chapter that I hoped for slipped, like dreams of trust.
But I'm finding my strength, pulling through this pain,
I'll reclaim my life, won't live in vain.
The love I once knew, it's fading fast, Time to find my footing, make each moment last.
(Outro)
I'm running out of time, but I'll take a stand,
No more hanging on, i'll reach for my own hand.
Life's too precious to let slip away, I'll live for me now, come what may.
So here's to new beginnings, to a brighter day,
I'm running out of time, but l'll be okay.
