DETAILS/TIME TO REALIZE LYRICS

Hey everyone!

I wanted to make this post to share both the lyrics and the story behind one of my songs, "Time To Realize." This song is about reaching the point where you stop letting someone else's actions define you. It's about moving from confusion and heartbreak to self-respect, acceptance, and finally finding the strength to move on.

When I wrote it, I wanted the verses to capture loneliness and regret, while the chorus represents that moment of clarity—the realization that healing starts when you choose yourself. The ending is my favorite part because it symbolizes letting go completely and leaving the past where it belongs.

I hope these lyrics resonate with anyone who's ever had to walk away from someone who no longer deserved a place in their life.

TIME TO REALIZE

Lost and cold,
I can't even sleep
'Cause you are so far tonight

And I sing to forget the sadness
That you left inside,
Alone 'cause I need to forget
All the things that I won't do anymore

Now it's time to realize,
Who you really are,
That you are so far from me
Time to realize,
That we're not so close

Now that I see your face again
I don't love you like before
What you did made me so confused,
You once were my muse
But now on my own,
I can face the truth and I'll forget you

Now it's time to realize,
Who I really am
And no, I'm not scared
Time to realize,
I will love me more

Now it's time to realize,
I won't play your game
Look what you became
Time to realize,
Stronger than before.

After the pain I realized
That you have no power over me
Watch me, I'll fly so far and high
You're left behind.
All that you've done is far from gone,
But it's finally over!

I'll let the rain
Wash you away,
Wash you away

Time To Realize

You're left behind

But it's finally over

I do love me more

Thanks for reading and for taking the time to listen to my music. Every song I write captures a moment of my life, and "Time To Realize" is one of the most personal because it marks the moment I stopped looking back and started looking forward.

I'd love to know what this song means to you. Feel free to leave a comment!
