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
