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
