[Verse 1]
Phone in my hand
Don’t know who to call
Baby crying in the dark
I’m pressed up against the wall
You left too early
Didn’t see me grow
Now I’m standing in your shoes
And I swear they cut my soul
[Chorus]
Empty lonely parenting
Mama
Can you see me now?
I’m trying but my hands keep shaking
Wish you could just show me how
Empty lonely parenting
Talking to the sky at night
I’m holding my child so tightly
Praying I’ll somehow get it right
[Verse 2]
I still see your kitchen
Steam on the window glass
Then the bed
Then the breathing
Then they said you’d passed
I was just a child
Didn’t know that kind of pain
Now every time my baby laughs
It pulls your echo from my brain
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I pour your name in the cereal bowl
Call your face in the mirror when I’m losing control
Every “shh
It’s okay” that I whisper to mine
Is a quiet little prayer that you’re living through my lines
[Chorus]
