[Verse 1]
I still see the tile
Cold under my feet
The hallway too quiet
Your door half-opened to me
The water was still
Your hair on your cheek
I called out your name
Like you might answer back to me
[Pre-Chorus]
Sixteen candles gone
Too fast, too soon
I was right there
Still I lost you
[Chorus]
Oh, my baby, my baby
I can't make it stay
Oh, my baby, my baby
Gone in one breath, one day
I keep your name
In every room
Oh, my baby, my baby
I still come looking for you
[Verse 2]
The doctor said seizure
Like words could explain
How a whole world can shatter
And still keep saying your name
Your shoes by the door
Your phone on the bed
I reach for the future
And find only what we had
[Pre-Chorus]
Sixteen years of light
Now the house feels bare
I talk to the ceiling
Like you might be there
[Chorus]
Oh, my baby, my baby
I can't make it stay
Oh, my baby, my baby
Gone in one breath, one day
I keep your name
In every room
Oh, my baby, my baby
I still come looking for you
[Bridge]
If love could hold you
I'd hold you here
If tears could bring you
I'd bring you near
But grief is a river
And I'm waist-deep in it
I love you forever
I love you in this hurt
[Final Chorus]
Oh, my baby, my baby
I can't make it stay
Oh, my baby, my baby
Gone in one breath, one day
I keep your name
In every room
Oh, my baby, my baby
I still come looking for you
Oh, my baby, my baby
I whisper through
Oh, my baby, my baby
I will carry you
