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
