"Hourglass" lyrics

The truth is that I
I thought I had time
I thought I had time to fix it
Truth is that I
Left you high and dry
And made you feel neglected

One day I looked over at the hourglass
And all the sand was at the bottom
Tried to turn it over, tried to start again
But it just shattered in my hands into
Tiny broken pieces
Into splinters in my hands

They really mean it when they tell you
They really mean it when they tell you
You can't get back the time once it's gone (once it's gone)
It's gone

Truth is that I
Really did try
But still took you for granted (took you for granted)
The truth is that we (that we)
We weren't good for me (for me)
But I didn't know the answers, oh

One day I looked over at the hourglass
And all the sand was at the bottom
Tried to turn it over, tried to start again
But it just shattered in my hands into
Tiny broken pieces
Into splinters in my hands

They really mean it when they tell you
They really mean it when they tell you
You can't get back the time once it's gone (once it's gone)
It's gone

(Once it's gone)
It's gone (once it's gone)
Oh God, it's gone

One day I looked over at the hourglass
And all the sand was at the bottom
Tried to turn it over, tried to start again
But it just shattered in my hands into
Tiny broken pieces
Into splinters in my hands

They really mean it, they really mean it
You can't get back the time once it's gone
Once it's gone
It's gone
