Hour Glass
Flip the hour glass
And let the sand fall
Onto me
Here I am
Stuck in the sand
Almost waist deep
And heart breaks in time
Bringing back dreams not mine
I wish never to feel
Your heart
Here I once was
Alone in so much love
But with those large cracks
Comes the mending process
Time and patience
Brings new dreams to your eyes
And new fingers to yours
With love at first sight
Don’t ever take it back
Don’t ever wish it all away
A broken heart makes you stronger
In every way
And here I am
My heart still stands
Even without you
And here I am
A brand new man
I won’t ever take it back
I won’t ever wish it all away
My broken heart has made me stronger
In every way
