Issues with RTC, PIR and Pushbutton

I have this program that turn on a light when it detects th first movement from the PIR sensor after 7 PM (19:00) and it turn off the light at 2AM (02:00). Now, i'm really having problem interfacing a button that controls the light when i'm going to bed. I want to shut down the light when i go to bed and so when i press the button but the light keeps turning on. I can't see the problem there. I want the button to be able to turn off the light if i go to bed and then the system will start the loop again for the next day. The code is this:

#include <virtuabotixRTC.h>

// Pin definitions
#define PIN_CLK A5    // CLK pin of the RTC module
#define PIN_DAT A4    // DAT pin of the RTC module
#define PIN_RST 12    // RST pin of the RTC module
#define PIR_PIN 2     // PIR sensor pin
#define LED_PIN 13    // LED pin
#define BUTTON_PIN 3  // Button pin

// RTC module initialization
virtuabotixRTC myRTC(PIN_CLK, PIN_DAT, PIN_RST);

bool waitingForMovement = false;  // Variable that indicates if we need to wait for the first movement
bool lightOn = false;             // Variable that indicates if the LED is on

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);  // Initialize serial monitor
  pinMode(PIR_PIN, INPUT);
  pinMode(LED_PIN, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(BUTTON_PIN, INPUT_PULLUP);  // Set the button with internal pull-up
}

void loop() {
  // Update time from RTC
  myRTC.updateTime();
  int hour = myRTC.hours;
  int minute = myRTC.minutes;
  int second = myRTC.seconds;

  // Check if it's time to start waiting for movement
  if (hour == 12 && minute == 43) {
    waitingForMovement = true;  // From now on, we wait for the first movement
  }

  // Check if it's time to turn everything off
  if (hour == 12 && minute == 44 || digitalRead(BUTTON_PIN) == LOW) {
    waitingForMovement = false;  // Deactivate waiting
    lightOn = false;             // Turn off the light
    digitalWrite(LED_PIN, LOW);
  }

  // If we are waiting for the first movement and the PIR detects it
  if (waitingForMovement && digitalRead(PIR_PIN) == HIGH) {
    lightOn = true;  // Turn on the light
    digitalWrite(LED_PIN, HIGH);
    waitingForMovement = false;  // No longer waiting for movement
  }
  /*
    // Check if the button has been pressed
    if (digitalRead(BUTTON_PIN) == LOW) { // The button is active with LOW
        lightOn = false; // Turn off the light
        digitalWrite(LED_PIN, LOW);
    }
    */
  // Print the status in the serial monitor
  Serial.print("Time: ");
  Serial.print(hour);
  Serial.print(":");
  Serial.print(minute);
  Serial.print(":");
  Serial.print(second);
  Serial.print(" | WaitingForMovement: ");
  Serial.print(waitingForMovement);
  Serial.print(" | PIR: ");
  Serial.print(digitalRead(PIR_PIN));
  Serial.print(" | LightOn: ");
  Serial.println(lightOn);

  delay(1000);  // Wait one second before updating again
}

i've tried chat gpt but it did not work
