prod. metlast x 5head <3

lyrics:

stuck here for a minute tryna figure shit out
looking at the edge and i dont know how
im gonna get thru all this shit
idk how to deal

cuz my mind is hell
yeah im a little bit unwell
stuck inside this cell
all i do is repell
they all say that i need some help
but they cant even figure their own shit out....
woah oh...

(carlby)
they cant even figure their own shit out
there's a hell in my head
like im peele ima get out

got a lot of problems from the trauma
maybe i was born sick
maybe this is karma

like paying for the sins of my father
but i dont wanna die a martyr
with every hit i take
i grow stronger 
with every passing day
i wear out my stay a little while longer

they cant even figure their own shit out
now they wanna tell me how to fix myself
im stuck in my mind and im tryna get out

give me a drink while i put out the fire
baby loosen your grip on me now
when your lover comes back he can fix up the fence
and he'll pay for the rent on the house 

but i'm gone i'm leaving 
i'll never come back
if you wanted me here i would stay 
but i ain't got a dollar to give you no more
just a drinking problem and a name

i could get up on stage watch 'em all sing my songs
but if you're not there i just don't care 
where'd you go hell if i know maybe back to colorado
with your shepherd dog and sweet mountain air

but i'm gone i'm leaving 
i'll never come back
if you wanted me there i would go 
but you got a new man and he makes a hundred grand 
and he'll give you the things that i don't 

just give me a drink while i put out this fire
baby loosen your grip on me now
when your lover comes back he's fixing up your fence
and he'll pay for the rent 

but i'm gone i'm leaving i'll never come back
if you wanted me here i would stay
but i ain't got a dollar to give you no more
just a drinking problem and a name 
but i'm gone i'm leaving i'll never come back
if you wanted me there i would go
but you got a new man and he makes a hundred grand
and he'll give you the things that i don't

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.
