When the Bough Breaks

How can you tell when love's over and done?

What does it mean to the moon or the sun?

They rise and they set and they pay us no mind

If we can't be true, at least be kind

Laying beside you your arms open wide

My head on your chest and the sound of the tide

And the chill of the night and the stars up above

It's a world full of hope, when there's someone to love

Someone to lie with

Someone to die with

Someone to make up for all your mistakes

Face you, embrace you

And never replace you

Someone to catch you when the bough breaks

Oh how would I sleep without your kiss goodnight?

I'm scared of the dark and afraid of the light

But I am no coward, I know I am brave

A hero I am when there's someone to save

Someone to lie with

Someone to die with

Someone to make up for all your mistakes

Face you, embrace you

And never replace you

Someone to catch you

(Someone to catch you)

When the bough breaks

And your cradle falls

When the bough breaks

Who will answer your calls?

When an ill wind blows

And your young heart aches

Who will be there?

Who will be there?

Someone to cry with

Watch time go by with

Someone to fight for you time and again

Live you and breathe you

And always believe you

Someone to be your friend

Someone to lie with

Someone to die with

Someone to make up for all your mistakes

Face you, embrace you

And never replace you

Someone to catch you when the bough breaks

When the bough breaks

When the bough breaks

When your cradle falls

And nothing at all

Know that I'll catch you
