Miscarriage

Every time I place my hand on her*

I can feel him moving

I can hear his heart beating

All the color comes back to his face

Please keep breathing keep your heart beating

I keep on praying he's happy and every day's the same

I keep praying he's happy

Hold on tightly brother

I'm doing everything I can do to keep you here with me

To keep your heart beating

I'll keep your heart beating

Let this be the day

You finally realize you are all to blame

This is your fault

Let him live

Ten years have past and there's nothing to show

I've done my best to respect you

Keep my head on the floor

She'll never love you the way she could

You'll never feel her warmth

You'll never have our trust

You'll never have it

Words can't change a thing

There's no denying it

We can't just pretend that nothing happened

Is this what you wanted

Is this what you expected

Hold on tightly brother

I'm doing everything that I can do to keep you here with me

To keep your heart beating

Why can't I be dreaming

I've got to be asleep

Just tell me that I'm sleeping

I pray I'm not awake
