With words from a scripture
And the mouth of a liar
I want to believe in you
You're all I desire

All I know
Is all that's been written
Kept inside
But you don't think it's right

You painted a picture
Of a house that's on fire
Is that what I did to you?
Or Is that your desire?

You are an hourglass
I want you desperately
I'm running out of time to make you mine
Still longing for when you belonged to me

With words from a scripture
And the mouth of a liar
I want to believe in you
You're all I desire

Feel my spine
Run your fingers over it
One last time
Make me feel alive

I can't be saved
So abandon me
If you feel betrayed
Then it's blessed be

Feel my spine
Make me feel alive

You are an hourglass
I want you desperately
I'm running out of time to make you mine
And now it's plain to see
You are an hourglass
I'm on my hands and knees
I'm crawling further from the light again
Still longing for when you belonged to me

All I know
Is all that's been written
Kept inside
But you didn't think it's right

Even if it can't be saved
I'll survive anyway
Never had to say out loud that you're giving up
I know you're giving up

You're giving up

You are an hourglass
I want you
I want you

You are an hourglass
I want you desperately
I'm running out of time to make you mine
And now it's clear to me
You are an hourglass
I'm on my hands and knees
I'm crawling further from the light again
Still longing for when you belong to me

You can't be phased
Nothing left to see
I'm no longer afraid
So it's blessed be
