But my hands are empty
And I know then
The truth
Tears burn
The salt is from the pain
Tears fall
And you don't know my shame
That I can never return
Again
Never hear your heeding call
Of my name
Because you are gone
You can never remember
Our history
Our December
Together
And then you left
And then I fell
Knowing the worst news
That I'd never see you
Ever again
And I would give everything
I ever had
Or would ever have
To see you
To hear you
To know you came
To see me
Your child
Oh my soul is broken
I just want to hear
Your words
Again spoken
In my ears
The tears fall
The tears burn
And I miss you so
I wish you had stayed
And I had left
But it doesn't work that way
Does it, Mom?
