Verse:
GbmABm There's no more wind to be felt in the sails
GbmABm Hands full of fallen stars will come up tails
GbmABm Rivers of sand are entwined through my hands
GbmABm To know what they've seen, well, my burden's all pale
GbmABmA I'll make an hourglass from my fingers
GbmEDb I know I'm only passing through
Chorus:
GbmABmGbm I don't want to pretend that I'm stronger for it all
GbmABmGbm I don't want to pretend that the sadness is gone
GbmABm Cuz I wanna know that I'm steady on my feet
GbmABmGbm I don't want to pretend so peace will be real to me
