[Verse 1]
She rocks that empty room
Like it might learn to breathe
Little shoes by the door
And a prayer on her sleeve
She smiles for the picture
Then turns to the wall
Saying, “Why do good hearts
Have to carry it all?”
[Pre-Chorus]
She’s tired of the waiting
Tired of the ache
Tired of watching other hands
Get what she can’t make
And it cuts so deep
When the world don’t seem fair
She folds up that hurt
And leaves it there
[Chorus]
No baby in her arms
Just love too big to hide
No baby in her arms
And she cries all night
Why do some hearts break
And some keep growing?
Why do some hands hold
What mine keep losing?
No baby in her arms
No baby in her arms
[Verse 2]
She sees them laughing loud
With a whole little crowd
And the bitter comes fast
Like a storm rolling down
Not because she hates them
Not because she’s cold
She’s just drowning in a dream
She was made to hold
[Pre-Chorus]
She’s tired of the waiting
Tired of the ache
Tired of watching other hands
Get what she can’t make
And it cuts so deep
When the world don’t seem fair
She folds up that hurt
And leaves it there
[Chorus]
No baby in her arms
Just love too big to hide
No baby in her arms
And she cries all night
Why do some hearts break
And some keep growing?
Why do some hands hold
What mine keep losing?
No baby in her arms
No baby in her arms
[Bridge]
Maybe love still counts
Even when it’s not a child
Maybe all these tears
Mean she’s still wild with life
But tonight she wants
What she cannot borrow
A tiny breath beside her
To ease tomorrow
[Final Chorus]
No baby in her arms
Just love too big to hide
No baby in her arms
And she cries all night
Why do some hearts break
And some keep growing?
Why do some hands hold
What mine keep losing?
No baby in her arms
No baby in her arms
