[Verse]
I held the dream so soft inside my hands
A tiny heartbeat promised future plans
But life it whispered and turned to take it back
Now I wander this world feeling cracks in my track
[Chorus]
Empty cradle dreams haunt the quiet night
A lullaby fades with the pale moonlight
In my arms you were never meant to stay
But in my heart
You're with me every day
[Verse 2]
I painted stars in a nursery sky
Hummed a tune to silence my aching cry
The walls they echo with the love I gave
While I search for strength to feel less afraid
[Chorus]
Empty cradle dreams haunt the quiet night
A lullaby fades with the pale moonlight
In my arms you were never meant to stay
But in my heart
You're with me every day
[Bridge]
The darkness comes but I wear your name
A stolen future yet love still remains
A flicker of you in the clouds
In the air
I find you everywhere
Everywhere
[Chorus]
Empty cradle dreams haunt the quiet night
A lullaby fades with the pale moonlight
In my arms you were never meant to stay
But in my heart
You're with me every day
