If you had have known that in the same year Your mother would go and that I would Have my first birthday, would you still marry the man of your dreams And build up a life that would be deemed so Perfectly sewn at the seams? Oh, I wonder if you would have stopped Just a while longer to listen To all the weight of her breathing Notice the sound of her screaming Promise to love her even when she couldn't feel it You said, you had an eating disorder It sparred with your love for your daughter You wanted to be an example You made your body a temple When you heard the weight of her breathing Noticed the sound of her screaming You promised to love her even when she couldn't feel it I know, you see the beauty in dust So I try to lift all of it up and press it against my eyelids Hoping my lashes will find hints Carry them down to the fine print of how I see all of the world You are my number one girl And I want to love the way you do Notice the weight of your breathing Hold you when I hear you screaming Promise to love you even Notice the weight of your breathing Hold you when I hear you screaming Tell me do you even Do you feel my love?
