Tiny Heartbeat

[Verse 1]
I bought a little pair of socks
Still folded in the drawer
Doctor circled all the words
I can’t say out loud anymore
You hold my shaking hands
Say
“We’ll find another door”
But every month my body
Writes the same old ending
[Chorus]
Tiny heartbeat
Where are you hiding?
I see your face in every quiet room
We say your name that no one’s heard yet
Hold you close inside this empty womb
If love could make you
You’d be here by now
We’re talking to the air like you can hear us somehow
Tiny heartbeat
Tiny dream
Please grow in me
[Verse 2]
You trace the scars along my waist
Kiss each faded line
Say
“This isn’t what you are
It’s just a word
It’s not your spine”
We count the days in sterile light
Praying hope survives the night
You joke about your clumsy hands
Building cribs we might not need
[Pre-Chorus]
Some days I blame my blood
Some days you blame the sky
But when it drowns us both
We just hold on and cry
[Chorus]
Tiny heartbeat
Where are you hiding?
I see your face in every quiet room
We say your name that no one’s heard yet
Hold you close inside this empty womb
If love could make you
You’d be here by now
We’re talking to the air like you can hear us somehow
Tiny heartbeat
Tiny dream
Please grow in me
[Bridge]
[Soft duet
Call and response]
She: If my body never bends
Around the weight of you
Her: I’ll still build a world
Where there’s space for two
She: If the test stays pale
And the crib stays bare
Her: We can still be mothers
Of the love we share (yeah)
Together:
Maybe you’ll come through a stranger’s smile
Maybe through a different kind of trial
But I won’t hate this skin I’m in
If it never makes your eyes or chin
[Chorus]
Tiny heartbeat
Wherever you’re hiding
In this house or far across the sea
We’ll keep a light on at the table
Save a story
Save a seat
If love could make you
You’d be here by now
But I trust the way you’ll find us somehow
Tiny heartbeat
Tiny dream
You’re already part of me
[Outro]
You’re already part of me (oh)
Already part of us
Tiny heartbeat
We’re waiting in the hush

Slow-burning emotional R&B ballad with female vocals in a duet: soft electric piano and warm Rhodes, intimate finger-snapped groove that blooms into deep bass and airy pads on the chorus. Call-and-response leads, close-mic whispers, and stacked harmonies on the hook; bridge strips back to almost a cappella, then final chorus swells with choir-like backing and a lingering reverb tail., emotional, r&b
