[Verse 1]
If I am an hourglass
Dancing on tables
Then you are a clock on the wall
Fighting time
You drew your name on the sand running through me
I said I'll hold you through the falling sky

[Pre-Chorus]
You're angry at me again
It's easy to understand

[Chorus]
I prayed you wouldn't see me
I stayed so you would leave me
I'm everything you feared
I'm everything you feared at the beginning
Believe me, I wish you didn't need me
I'm everything you feared
I'm everything you feared at the beginning

[Pre-Chorus]
Hold me, closely
Now, let me go
Hold me, closely
Now, let me go
[Verse 2]
I am the dream that you'll always remember
You'll run me down and throw me into your fate
Now, when I cry at the start of the movie
I kiss you slowly so you don't see me break

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm out of breath again
Guess I'm in my element

[Chorus]
I prayed you wouldn't see me
I stayed so you would leave me
I'm everything you feared
I'm everything you feared at the beginning
Believe me, I wish you didn't need me
I'm everything you feared
I'm everything you feared at the beginning

[Post-Chorus]
Hold me, closely
Now, let me go
Hold me, closely
Now, let me go

[Bridge]
I'm not fighting the tears now
It's the high of the let-down
[Outro]
I prayed you wouldn't see me
I stayed so you would leave me
I'm everything you feared
I'm everything you feared at the beginning
Believe me, they always try to heal me
I'm everything you feared
I'm everything you feared at the beginning
