Emy

Lyrics: Yeah Sometimes we make choices that break us to pieces Just tryin’ to keep the pieces of someone else whole The ink is finally dry on the decree Half of this empty life belongs to me The other half is packed in boxes in the hall Along with the pictures that we took down from the wall We told ourselves we were saving you from the storm Before you ever had the chance to be born But sitting here now in the quiet and the cold I wonder if we were just broken and getting too old Hush little baby don’t you cry, Daddy was weak, momma didn’t try You’re now headed to a better life So hush little baby don’t you cry I couldn't look myself in the eyes that day I drove us back, we had nothing left to say The cracks in our foundation were already there And we let our love sublimate into thin air She called it mercy and I called it grace To keep you away from this fractured, angry place Now you’re both gone and I'm smoking alone In a house that is never gonna be a home Hush little baby don’t you cry, Daddy was weak, momma didn’t try You’re now headed to a better life So hush little baby don’t you cry They say that time is a writer that heals every page But I can't outrun all this sorrow and rage We spared you the shouting, the lawyers, the pain But I’m left here drowning alone in the rain We broke our own hearts so we wouldn't break yours Behind closed curtains and locked clinic doors Hush little baby don’t you cry, Daddy was weak, momma didn’t try You’re now headed to a better life So hush little baby don’t you cry Sleep in the stars, safe from the fight Momma is turning out the lights tonight I hope you find that better life Hush little baby, goodnight
