Lyrics
When I was young I had a vision in mind
Reflecting on a vision from youth, a plan for life.
Of all the things I'd want in my life
Envisioning desires and aspirations for life.
It was my plan, it was perfect for me
A perfect plan for personal fulfillment.
But then came along that sacrifice
Encountering an unexpected sacrifice in life.
That became the most important thing in my life
The sacrifice becomes the most significant aspect.
Why did you steal those years from me?
Questioning the impact of the stolen years.
Give me back my time
Expressing a desire to reclaim lost time.
The time you took is gone
Stating that the taken time is irretrievable.
It can never be replaced
Emphasizing the irreplaceability of lost time.
Why'd you do me wrong?
Confronting someone for perceived wrongdoing.
The time it took is gone
Highlighting the permanence of time loss.
As the seconds and minutes continue to fly
Time passing, accompanied by emotional detachment.
My heart was gone and my body denied
Feeling disconnected, both emotionally and physically.
The fact that I could stay here one more night
Contemplating the fleeting nature of life.
From the moment you stepped into my world
Impact of someone entering the speaker's life.
You created a dream I wasn't ready for
Creating an unforeseen dream or expectation.
But now it's time to show you all I'm worth
Commitment to proving personal value and worth.
Give me back my time
Reiterating the plea for the return of lost time.
The time you took is gone
Reiterating the irreversibility of time loss.
It can never be replaced
Emphasizing the inability to substitute lost time.
Why'd you do me wrong?
Questioning the motives behind perceived wrongdoing.
The time it took is gone
Reiterating the permanence of time loss.
These are the hands of time that we lose
Symbolizing the passage of time through decisions.
For decisions in life that we make or we choose
Acknowledging the consequences of life choices.
It may not have been just thee way that you want
Accepting life's imperfections and deviations.
But the love in your heart is what carried you on
Recognizing the sustaining power of love.
