[Verse]
Three little whiskers in a cardboard box
Soft as the silence of a ticking clock
I held their world in my clumsy hands
Time was sand slipping
No reprimands
[Chorus]
Oh they squeaked
Oh they ran
Oh they chewed through the night
Their tiny lives burned like a flickering light
Time flies by so slow till it’s gone
Three little whiskers
Forever my song
[Verse 2]
Cages and carrots and shredded old sheets
A world so small but it felt so complete
Now the corners are empty
The hay’s turned to dust
The wheels don’t spin
They’re covered in rust
[Prechorus]
Did I hold them enough
Did they know my love
[Chorus]
Oh they squeaked
Oh they ran
Oh they chewed through the night
Their tiny lives burned like a flickering light
Time flies by so slow till it’s gone
Three little whiskers
Forever my song
[Bridge]
Slowly
Slowly
The world keeps turning
Inside my chest their absence burning
Memories bite like a jagged edge
Whispering names on a fading ledge
