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
