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 becoming

A foal born into spring

Make me your daughter

Make me your wife

Put down the baby

We’ll build a new life

Just give me your hand

Give both your eyes

Stop looking away

I can’t stand it when you say

You say

I couldn’t feed her

For 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 you’re hurt

How do you 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
