Time
One Less Reason Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And baby, maybe you've been saved
And you just don't know it
And maybe, maybe you've been hurt
And you're scared to show it

But sometimes
Does your pain become too much for you to bear?
And sometimes
Do you run away?

And I said maybe, maybe you won't stay
And it doesn't matter
'Cause lately, lately I have changed
And I feel much better

But sometimes
Does your pain become too much for you to bear?
And sometimes
Do you run away?

You're gonna take this broken heart that he gave you
And follow the light of the stars you love
When every day is all the same
You made me wonder why…

Did you try if you knew better?
I wished on a star and it landed on you
I lie because I'm not better
And I'm not happy for you, I'm not happy for you

And I said baby, is there something you need to say
'Cause your heart says nothing
And maybe, maybe I'm to blame
And this has all been over

But sometimes
Does your pain become too much for you to bear?
And sometimes
Do you run away?

You're gonna take this broken heart that he gave you
And follow the light of the stars you love
When every day is all the same
You made me wonder why…

Did you try if you knew better?
I wished on a star and it landed on you
I lie because I'm not better
And I'm not happy for you, I'm not happy for you
And I'm not happy for you, I'm not happy for you
And I'm not happy for you, I'm not happy for you

And I said baby, is there something you need to say?
'Cause your heart says nothing
And maybe, but I don't think that will change

Why did we try if you knew better?
I wished on a star and it landed on you
I lie because I'm not better
And I'm not happy for you, I'm not happy for you
Did we try if you knew better
I wished on a star and it landed on you
I lie because I'm not better
And I'm not happy for you, I'm not happy for you




And I'm not happy for you, I'm not happy for you
And I'm not happy for you, I'm not...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Time" by One Less Reason portray a complex emotional struggle between two individuals in a relationship. The song seems to revolve around themes of self-doubt, pain, and the difficulty of expressing emotions. The opening lines suggest that the person addressed in the song may have experienced some form of salvation or healing, but they are unaware of it. At the same time, they may feel hurt or wounded but are hesitant to reveal their pain. This could imply that they are afraid of being vulnerable or are unsure of how to communicate their emotions.


The chorus delves into the overwhelming nature of pain and the tendency to run away from it. It highlights the question of whether the pain becomes too much to bear, leading to the impulse to escape. The singer acknowledges that maybe the person they are addressing won't stay, but it doesn't matter to them because they have changed and are feeling better. This suggests a personal growth or healing process that may have taken place.


The later verses convey a sense of disappointment and betrayal. The singer describes the broken heart that the person carries due to someone else's actions and encourages them to find solace and guidance in the things they love, symbolized by the light of the stars. However, the singer also expresses their own feelings of dissatisfaction and envy. They acknowledge lying because they themselves are not better or happier, hinting at unresolved emotions and perhaps a sense of longing for the person they are singing to.


Overall, "Time" delves into the complexities of relationships, personal growth, and the struggle to express emotions. It portrays a mixture of hope, pain, and unresolved feelings, capturing the emotional journey of two individuals.

And baby, maybe you've been saved
And darling, perhaps you have been rescued
