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
