Hourglass

The hourglass is slipping, slipping away
She knows the clock is ticking
And she knows her number is coming up

She can't shake this feeling, it won't go away
Inside she's screaming
And she knows the angels are coming soon
And she knows the angels are coming soon

And she tries and she lies, says she's okay
Always thinking of others first
And never cries and she tries to put things off
She's still smiling, lives for the day

And when people see her, they just look away
They think she's just a dreamer
'Cause they don't know what she's going through

She doesn't accept the sentence, she battles it out
And in her mind she fights it
And then she falls asleep and thinks of her boys
And she falls asleep and thinks of her boys

And she tries and she lies, says she's okay
Always thinking of others first
And never cries and she tries to put things off
She's still smiling, lives for the day

Lives for the day
Lives for the day
Lives for the day

And she tries and she lies, says she's okay
Always thinking of others first
And never cries and she tries to put things off
She's still smiling, lives for the day

Lives for the day
Lives for the day
Lives for the day
