i carry my heart around, heavy and broken
and think of all the things left unspoken
how you'll never get the chance to grow
so much i wanted you to know
and my body felt like an anchor, sinking
time alone, too much time spent thinking
of all the things that could've, should've been
i just wanted that moment, to see you again
never knew sorrow, how a person could be so sad
you were the best thing that i never had
because you were gone before we ever met
the sweet baby that i'll never forget
the one that i carried inside of me
who lies sleeping in my memory
and i'd give up everything i know
to watch you laugh, watch you grow
my soul so wounded and covered in scars
but i imagine you're out there among the stars
and every night i kneel and pray
that there will come a day
when you're back in mama's arms
