Hourglass

You were there for me when no one else was there for me
Waitin’ in the wings of my stage
You would care for me when no one else took care of me
Livin’ every word from my page
Nothin’ left to do
I gave it all to you
Since you went away
All that I do every day is pray that you'll be back soon

No more dreams when I close my eyes
No more stars lighting up my skies
No more time to erase the past
‘Cause I'm buried in the sand of my own hourglass

You would cry for me when everybody laughed at me
Made me feel like I was King
You would lie for me whenever I was in too deep
I never knew what that might bring
When you said goodbye
All the angels cried
All I wanna be is what you wanted me to be and all that I can do is try.
