Caption Title

A brutal reckoning—“Stealing Time” exposes the truth behind the mask, refusing to mourn what was lost and demanding accountability.

Song Insight

Stealing Time is not a lament for what’s gone, but a razor-edged anthem for finally seeing someone as they are. There’s no sugarcoating, no nostalgia for a love destroyed by self-inflicted wounds. This song doesn’t plead for redemption—it lays it bare: if you’re ever going to be saved, you’ll have to save yourself, because I’m done carrying your damage. The rain and the rose on the casket aren’t mourning—they’re the final word, marking the end of illusions and the start of owning your own darkness.

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Drifting through your life
Trying to find a way to say goodbye
Grifter stealing time
I’m running through your lies

[Build]
The empty space between the lines
Falling to your knees, you cry

[Chorus]
It’s not about the ones you used to hold
It’s about the ones you left behind
All those moments passed you by
Maybe this time there’s nothing to undo
Truth—a life, something to pursue

[Refrain]
God, I hope you do
Something needs saved in you

[Verse 2]
Every promise that you broke
Every secret left untold
All the pain behind your eyes
The hearts you tore
To the ones you used

[Build]
Broken souls haunt your scattered mind
Pieces taken I will never find

[Chorus]
It’s not about the ones you used to hold
It’s about the ones you left behind
All those moments passed you by
Maybe this time there’s nothing to undo
Truth—a life, something to pursue

[Refrain]
God, I hope you do
Something needs saved in you

[Bridge]
Mirrors, silver-plated death
Moments I try but can’t forget
Shadows pulling at what’s owed
Memories drowned by the ones I loved

[Bridge 2]
Sorry for the stones you throw
No matter what, you stay below
Cracked reflections on the floor
Love doesn't live here anymore

[Final Chorus]
It’s not about the ones you used to hold
It’s about the ones you left behind
All those moments passed you by
Maybe this time there’s nothing to undo
Truth—a life, something to pursue
All the pain behind your eyes
The hearts you tore apart inside
All those moments, lost in time
Drift away, erased by a life

[Refrain]
God, I hope you do
Something needs saved in you

[Outro]
Every mistake you called mine
Feel your choices down my spine
Maybe this time you’ll live the life
Maybe it’s the lies that die
Free yourself in time

[Post-Outro]
God, I hope you do
Something needs saved in you

Personal Reflection

I wrote “Stealing Time” as the ten-year mark approached, but not to mourn what could have been. Eight years of marriage ended in chaos and destruction—choices, not fate. This isn’t about hoping for change or wishing things were different. It’s about drawing the line, calling out the darkness, and refusing to shoulder someone else’s demons. There’s pain, sure, but mostly clarity: your story is yours now, and I won’t let it shape me. I see the warning signs clearer than ever. You own your choices, not me.

4Me2BeFree

With “Stealing Time,” 4Me2BeFree channels real scars into cinematic storytelling—no filter, no pity, just raw truth and consequence. Every lyric, every visual, and every drop of rain on the casket is there to show that this isn’t a breakup song—it’s a declaration of freedom from someone else’s self-destruction. This is what 4Me2BeFree does: transforms lived experience into music that doesn’t flinch from the hard parts, making sure the story hits as hard as the truth.

Stealing Time

Reality bends, signals fade — “Stranger Things” is a song for the moments when the world feels unreal. Between fear and fascination, it captures that liminal space where memories glitch and ghosts speak through static.

[Verse 1]
Streetlights fade in the frozen air,
Not a soul answers the midnight prayer.
Something's crawling beneath my skin,
Darkness calls and pulls me in.

[Pre-Chorus]
Static hums, the signal’s weak,
I hear the shadows start to speak…

[Chorus]
Upside down! (upside down!)
Lost but never found!
Upside down!

[Verse 2]
Flickering screens in a broken dream,
Nothing here is what it seems.
Footsteps echo, a chilling sound,
Don’t look back or you’ll be found.

[Pre-Chorus]
Static hums, the signal’s weak,
I hear the shadows start to speak…

[Chorus]
Upside down! (upside down!)
Lost but never found!
Upside down!

[Bridge]
Lights flash—I’m out of time,
One last step beyond the line.

[Final Chorus]
Upside down! (upside down!)
Lost but never found! 
Upside down! (upside down!)
Lost but never found
Upside down!
