As far as I knew, things were going well

Everything looked rosy

Until one day, out of nowhere, she hit pause on our love

She asked me for space, and I gave it to her

Because a love, when it's real, always comes back to you

We took some time apart

But her time had a first and last name

Oddly enough, it didn't even rhyme with mine

What a coincidence

That some 'nothing to do' guy came to replace me

Time keeps going by

And how the hell does the one I lost you to come back?

The worst part is that they had already warned me

I jumped in like a dumb*ss

For you, without thinking, I'd put my hands in the fire

It would've been so easy to tell me, 'I don't love you anymore'

We took some time apart

But her time had a first and last name

Oddly enough, it didn't even rhyme with mine

What a coincidence

That some 'nothing to do' guy came to replace me

Time keeps going by

And how the hell does the one I lost you to come back?

The worst part is that they had already warned me

I jumped in like a dumb*ss

For you, without thinking, I'd put my hands in the fire

It would've been so easy to tell me, 'I don't love you anymore'

SONG MEANING

“Tiempo” spins the all too familiar tale of love paused… and painfully replaced. The singer thought his relationship was picture-perfect until his partner asked for “space.” Trusting that real love always circles back, he agreed, only to discover that the so-called break was really a cover for someone new. Every chorus drives home the sting: the “time apart” had both name and surname—a very real rival who shared nothing with him except the woman he lost.

Banda MS mixes heartbreak with a dash of self-mockery. The narrator admits he “went in head-first” and “would have put his hands in the fire” for her, ignoring friends’ warnings. Now he wrestles with disbelief, wondering how he can retrieve what slipped away. “Tiempo” is a lesson in brutal honesty: sometimes asking for time is just an elegant way of saying “I don’t love you anymore.” The song blends raw emotion, regional Mexican brass, and candid lyrics to remind us that trust is precious—and that a pause in love may actually be the end of the track.
