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

And inside she's screaming and she knows the angels are coming soon



And she knows the angels are coming soon



[Chorus]

And she tries and she lies, says she's ok

Always thinking of others first

And never cries and she tries to put things off

She's still smiling, and 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



[Chorus]



Lives for the day
