Miscarriage

(album: First Born - 2011)

Every time I place my hand on her,
I can feel him moving,
I can hear his heart beating,
All the color comes back to his face,
Please keep breathing,
Keep your heart beating,
I keep on praying he's happy,
And every day's the same,
I keep praying he's happy,
Hold on tightly brother,
I'm doing everything that I can do to keep you here with me,
To keep your heart beating,
I'll keep your heart beating,
Let this be the day,
You finally realize you are all to blame,
This is your fault,
Let him live,
Ten years have past and there's nothing to show,
I've done my best to respect you,
Keep my head on the floor,
She'll never love you the way she could,
You'll never feel her warmth,
You'll never have our trust,
You'll never have it,
Words can't change a thing,
There's no denying it,
We can't just pretend that nothing happened,
Is this what you wanted?
Is this what you expected?
Hold on tightly brother,
I'm doing everything that I can do to keep you here with me,
To keep your heart beating,
Why can't I be dreaming?
I've got to be asleep,
Just tell me that I'm sleeping,
I pray I'm not awake.
