Lullaby by Heart Museum

" LULLABY " 

A father never forgets
Well It's been three years
But it still feels like yesterday
Three aching years
But the pain always stayed the same
No matter what I'm facing
It’ll never compare
To a room full of masked strangers 
and the racing heartbeat
Of a baby in need
of help.
In the back of my mind 
I have memories of the times 
I've held you in my arms 
I felt the pulse beat from your heart 
And all the breaths that you took
Cherished looks that you gave me
If I had 
another chance I'd go through it again
If you would just come back
I promise to be a better dad 
Like the one you deserved
(Like the one that you deserved)
If i could lose myself in your eyes, under UV lights 
just for one more night.
No box would keep him away
He stood by her side 
Counting from minutes to hours and hours to days. 
On the inside he already knew
What every motherfucking father shouldn't have to go through Painfully watching his daughter struggle while they take off the machine
that she needed to breathe

Just breathe

But all of a sudden
I felt sick to my stomach 
I even spit up my insides 
in the restroom toilet 
Knowing 
All those visits
All the kisses 
All the moments 
were at an extent 
My little girl was leaving 
with one breath at a time
Why didn't anything work?!
I'm just not ready to let her go 
please don't die.
When there was nothing we could do
All we did was hold you 
We never wanted to letyou go.
Never wanted to let you go
You'll always be the little tune in my head
That Plays over and over again
