Life Passed Me By

Verse

I thought spring would open the door,

That someone would call me to living.

But days just slipped through the floor,

And I kept on losing, not giving.

Words — like notes never sent,

Dreams — like tickets with no destination.

I whispered, “It’s not time yet,”

While life moved on without hesitation.

Chorus

So quietly, it passed me by,

My whole life spent waiting for life.

I stood on the platform alone,

With silence and smoke in my soul.

Verse

I built bridges out of thought,

But the shores were never in sight.

Each sunrise — a page I forgot,

Blown away by the wind in the night.

I heard my heart beat loud,

But mistook it for someone else’s echo.

Time — like rain from a cloud,

Washed away dreams I couldn’t let go.

Chorus

So quietly, it passed me by,

My whole life spent waiting for life.

I searched for it between the lines,

But it lived in each breath, each sign.

Bridge

Maybe it wasn’t all wrong,

Maybe I just didn’t see it.

Life isn’t later — it’s now,

In every moment we mean it.

Outro

So quietly, it passed me by…

But now, I’m ready to begin.
