1d
his heart lives inside of my hour glass
and he's letting the last of him slip through my hands
every day that he burns my candle a little more with no remorse
he casts the shadow of what was once our love
onto a broken course
leading to a hauntingly unconditional love song lullaby
and I see his face in my shattered blue sky
once the truth
now the lie
Oh I stood at the edge of time
wishing his ghost wasn’t still mine
wishing his ghost wasn't mine
but I loved him so

Sand glass...turn upside down again
take me back to where we could begin
Frozen moments in the wildfire
But he wont hold them, not again
sand glass, do you see him now?
once a boy
now a man
the clock don’t lie, but it don’t heal
what he gave me was far too real
before he became a man
darker than the writing on the wall
slipping through my soul
like sand
his bird now has no call
I cant sing to him now
Sand glass, do you see me now
once a sick lass
now a warrior

Mirror, mirror, cracked and cold
You never warned me love grows this old
Time, she dances, wild and free
But she never dances back to me

Sand glass...one last fall
Write our love story on the wall
Let the fight be my song
I’ve been here waiting far too long
Sand glass, the time is through
And now it’s me I must be true to

Oh dear, I held your love like water in my hands
But it slipped like hourglass sand
now you speak in riddles and rhyme,
looking back
you were always somewhere outside of time
You said the stars would guide us true
But they burned out before I knew

Hourglass sand, falling fast
Can’t outrun the shadow of the past
Mirror cracked, but still it stands
our names trapped in hourglass sand
Tell me, was it ever real?
Or just a dream we couldn’t feel?

Your voice remains in every room
A faded rose that never bloomed
Hourglass sand, silent fall
Time don’t answer when you call
Moonlight fades, and stars disband
But I still reach through hourglass sand
Trying to hold what slipped right through
Trying to forget the truth of you
or were you a lie


Mirror, mirror, tell me this
Was it love, or just the mist?


Hourglass sand, now I see
The one I lost was never me
Let it fall, let it stand
What we were, just

inside the hourglass
your heart has grown far too cold
and I loved you unconditionally
