I lose on time when my opponent had just a bishop...
I guess you are talking about this game
The outcome is perfectly correct, since your opponent can checkmate you (after promotion of the pawn to a bishop for example)

FIDE Laws of Chess
"6.9 Except where one of the Articles: 5.1.a, 5.1.b, 5.2.a, 5.2.b, 5.2.c applies, if a player does
not complete the prescribed number of moves in the allotted time, the game is lost by
the player. However, the game is drawn, if the position is such that the opponent cannot
checkmate the player’s king by any possible series of legal moves."
Here a series of legal moves leading to checkmate exists, so you duly lost on time.
