Lyric

Give Me Time

Casey Sakurai

You said you never needed much

Just knowing I was there was enough

You held your hand out when I fell

I turned away, I chose myself

I thought that leaving made me strong

Now I know that I was wrong

I walked away from something true

And left the weight of it with you

I won’t ask you to forget

I know I haven’t earned that yet

Just give me time

That’s all I ask

Not to erase what happened in the past

Let me prove, day after day

I won’t turn and run away

I know it’s selfish wanting this

After the trust that I dismissed

Don’t give your faith back overnight

Just give me time to make it right

I remember what you used to say

“You being here is enough for me”

I didn’t know what those words meant

Until I lost what they had given me

I can’t demand another chance

Or reach for your forgiving hands

If there’s a road back to your trust

I’ll walk it slowly if I must

Don’t save me

Don’t carry me

Don’t promise anything to me

Just watch me stand

And let me show

I’m not the one who chose to go

Give me time

Nothing more

I won’t come crashing through your door

Every day, I’ll earn my place

Even if you turn away

I know it’s selfish, I know it’s late

I know that I created this weight

I’m not asking you to call me yours

Just leave a little time for us

You said having me there was enough…

I should have stayed

I know that now

Give me time

    Give Me Time

    Casey Sakurai

It's not my life.

He keeps telling himself that, yet he still wonders where she is and how she's getting by. Not My Life turns anger, frustration, and the concern he cannot completely leave behind into a heavy rock track.

Then comes Give Me Time, a voice from the other side.
She doesn't ask for forgiveness or for things to return to the way they were. She knows trust cannot be restored by words alone. All she asks for is time, to stand on her own and prove through her actions that she can change.

A man who walks away but still cares.
A woman who doesn't ask him to take her back, only to give her time.

Not My Life and Give Me Time tell one unresolved story from two different perspectives, pairing the weight of heavy rock with the emotional space of a ballad.
