Lyric

I was lonely — I know

Thought it was normal — though

Scrolling late — slow glow

Calling it love — let it go

Endless faces — bright screens

Late replies — in-between

Laughing loud — online

Still losing my time

I stayed longer — than I should

Gave more — than felt good

I kept saying — I’m fine

But I was losing mine

You don’t mean — to drain

No villain — no blame

But minute by minute — slow

Something starts to go

Peace of mind — thin thread

Words we never said

If it costs too much

I won’t hold on

Time is a life — we know

Not ours to throw

We get tired — that’s the truth

We’re still here — growing too

Time is a life — for me

Time is a life — for you

If we drain what we have

We both lose

We don’t owe the world our time

We don’t owe them every sign

We don’t have to be online

To feel alive

Blue light — 2AM

Typing “you good?” — again

Half here — half gone

Trying to hold on

Wanting minds — not noise

Real sparks — not toys

I felt it — that shift

That quiet lift

I stopped proving — my worth

Started choosing — first

If it dims my light

I can step outside

No war — no fight

Just space — and light

If it spins too fast

We can slow it down

Not me versus you

Just what we choose

If it costs our calm

We both lose

Time is a life — we know

Not ours to throw

Not for the scroll

Not for the show

Time is a life — still mine

Still yours — defined

Let’s not waste what we are

Trying too hard

We don’t owe the world our time

We don’t owe them every line

If it steals our peace of mind

We can draw the line

I can care — and leave

I can stay — and breathe

Healthy love — lets go

When it needs to go

We don’t have to stay

Just to say we tried

We can walk away

With our heads high

Time — is a life

We get tired — sometimes

But we don’t owe

Every minute of our minds

Time — is a life

Still yours — still mine

If it costs our calm

We can step outside

Time is a life — we know

Time is a life — be kind

Time is a life — defined

Still mine

Time is a life — still yours

Time is a life — we choose

What we’re living for

Time is a life — we know

Time is a life — let it grow

Time is a life

Time is a life — defined

Time is a life — still mine

Time is a life — defined

Time is a life
