Time Didn’t Take My Side

I keep saying it's not right now Like forever had to pause

You keep giving me your patience While I broke it into flaws

I thought love could wait on time Thought your heart would understand

Didn't know that every second was you slipping through my hands

You were counting my actions I was betting on delay

Funny how the clock gets louder when love walks away

Time didn't take my side It took your faith instead

I thought we had tomorrow Now tomorrow's dead

I asked for one moment You needed all of me

Time didn't take my side Set you free

You stopped asking for reassurance Stopped waiting on a sign

I was busy finding new reasons You were learning to move on

I confused your quiet distance For a calm before the storm

Didn't know your peace would leave me even Didn't know I'd be the norm

I finally chose you When it was too late

Love doesn't freeze the clock It accelerates

Time didn't take my side It took you away

I thought love had margins It wanted me to stay

I tried to race the ending But I lost the lead

Time didn't take my side It taught you how to lead

If I could turn the seconds back I'd stop pretending I was scared

I'd give you now instead of later Instead of asking you to wait

But time doesn't listen To regret or pain

It just keeps moving forward Calling it change

You're building something steady On a clock I can't rewind

I'm living in the moment I keep replaying in my mind

Time didn't take my side It drove

To a truth love doesn't bend For fear or have committed use

I learned that waiting is a choice That cost you everything

Time didn't take my side It took what I wouldn't give

Now every ticking second Sounds like your goodbye

Time didn't take my side But it taught me why

But it taught me why
