Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Six years in the waiting room
White walls, folded hands
Felt your hope beside me
Then it slipped like sand
Each little test said maybe
Then it learned to say goodbye
I kept the tiny names alive
And buried them inside
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the house goes quiet
When the evening bends
Your face still reaches for me
But it can't make amends
We loved with open arms
We loved with all we had
Still the door stayed closed on us
And that is what hurts bad
[Chorus]
Empty cradle
Empty cradle
I held the dream too long
Empty cradle
Empty cradle
I have to let it go
You still love me
I know you do
But grief lives here with both of us
And I am breaking too
[Verse 2]
I see you in the doorway
Trying not to fall apart
You carry your own ruin
Like a crack inside your heart
And I hate that my sorrow
Hits you where you stand
We are two lost people
Holding the same hand
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the house goes quiet
When the evening bends
Your face still reaches for me
But it can't make amends
We loved with open arms
We loved with all we had
Still the door stayed closed on us
And that is what hurts bad
[Chorus]
Empty cradle
Empty cradle
I held the dream too long
Empty cradle
Empty cradle
I have to let it go
You still love me
I know you do
But grief lives here with both of us
And I am breaking too
[Bridge]
I won't call it failure
I won't call it shame
I was a mother in my spirit
Even if I lost the name
Let me lay this longing down
Let me breathe in the dark
If I can't raise a baby
I can still keep my own heart
[Final Chorus]
Empty cradle
Empty cradle
I held the dream too long
Empty cradle
Empty cradle
I have to let it go
You still love me
I know you do
But grief lives here with both of us
And I am breaking too
Empty cradle
Empty cradle
I will learn to let it go
