I Couldn't Feed Her

Sweet little candy, drop in my throat

Make me feel better, make me feel whole

Forget the crying chorus that sings so softly

The coming of fall born into spring

Make me your daughter, make me your wife

Put down the baby, we'll build a new life

Give me a hand, give both your eyes and stop looking away

I can't stand when you say

You say, "I couldn't feed her

Before my breast runs dry

I tried to reach her

But there was nothing left"

Hush little baby, don't say a word

Mama will make you forget your hurt

How does it feel now? Better, I know

See, you're learning the power of letting things go

Put me inside, put me inside where the pain resides

Where the old you died

So I can feed you

You can put your trust in me

I'll dry your eyes streaming

You won't cry against the screaming

I'll give you meaning

Until there's nothing left
