Mother

I can't breathe

You've been gone for far too long

Mother

I can't sleep

Now that your lullabies are few and far between

Mother

I can't eat

With this empty plate beside me

This numbness

Longs for your touch

This heartache

Longs for your love

Mother

I can't hear

Now that your song no longer plays on

Mother

I can't fear

Having lost what is most dear

This numbness

Longs for your touch

This heartache

Longs for your love

Mother

I can't breathe

I can't sleep

I can't eat

Mother

I can't hear

No I can't fear

Mother

It's so clear

Having lost what's most dear
