Ausson - Aiden's Hourglass Lyrics

Aiden, you're the paw prints on my heart,
From the first wag, you were my work of art.
But in the back of my mind, a looming fear,
Why is the time you're given so unclear?

Every tail wag, every loving gaze,
Marks the time in this life's maze.

Aiden, why's your candle burning so fast?
Why's the time you're given not built to last?
It's not fair, this inevitable goodbye,
Why do you have to be a fleeting star in my sky?

You give unconditional love, asking so little,
Yet life gives you a timeline, a cruel riddle.
I want to freeze time, make these moments stay,
Oh Aiden, why can't you forever stray?

I look into your eyes, a universe so vast,
Wishing we could escape this hourglass.

Aiden, why's your candle burning so fast?
Why's the time you're given not built to last?
It's not fair, this inevitable goodbye,
Why do you have to be a fleeting star in my sky?

In a world of uncertainty, you're my rock,
Every tick of the clock feels like a shock.
Oh Aiden, your love is a treasure so rare,
Why's life so short, it just isn't fair.

Aiden, why's your candle burning so fast?
Why's the time you're given not built to last?
It's not fair, this inevitable goodbye,
Why do you have to be a fleeting star in my sky?

As I hold you close, let's make a pact,
To love each other with every act.
Though time's against us, this love's here to stay,
Aiden, you're my light, forever and a day.
