Silent Cradle

(Verse 1)

She wakes before the morning light,

The baby’s cry cuts through the night.

She holds him close but feels so far,

A hollow heart, a faded star.

(Pre-Chorus)

She whispers, "I should love you more,"

But love feels like a closing door.

She’s drowning in the dark, afraid,

That someday love might slip away.

(Chorus)

What if the weight is too much to bear?

What if the love was never there?

She prays to feel the warmth inside,

But fears the cold she cannot hide.

She’s scared she might not be enough,

Scared to lose what she should love.

(Verse 2)

Rocking slow, her hands still shake,

A lullaby she fakes awake.

She sees his eyes so full of trust,

Yet all she feels is fear and dust.

(Pre-Chorus)

She whispers, "I should love you more,"

But love feels like a closing door.

She’s drowning in the dark, afraid,

That someday love might slip away.

(Chorus)

What if the weight is too much to bear?

What if the love was never there?

She prays to feel the warmth inside,

But fears the cold she cannot hide.

She’s scared she might not be enough,

Scared to lose what she should love.

(Bridge)

The guilt, the shame, the silent war,

A mother’s heart, a shattered core.

But then his fingers grip her own,

And in that touch, she’s not alone.

(Outro)

Maybe the weight is hers to share,

Maybe the love was always there.

She holds him close, the fear remains,

But love still whispers through the pain.
