Hourglass

They say our history is written in stone Is it enough for me to say I've learned from what I've done I took the time you spent with me all for granted And now I'm here with my soul to bare before our time is gone Straining my lungs, can you hear me now To tell you the truth I haven't fallen in so long If I could take the past away I've only got one question I've only got one If I could take the past away, how can I do right by you I'll break the stone I've reminisced about every word and I'm on my own I've spilled this ink and the text of my fate is up to me If I could take the past away, I've only got one question Are you proud of me
