Inconceivable
This can't be happening
My world shook
The nightmare crushing every blissful dream
When I saw what remained
I could not even bear to imagine the fear you must have felt
When it all fell and I was not there
I wish I could have been there with you
‘Cause there’s no one more precious and pure
Each smile can drown my heart with joy
The contentment I feel just watching you grow
And now you are there
In uncertainty's fold
Without my hand to hold
Without my hand to hold
I would have dried every tear
Assured you that there's nothing to fear
‘Cause I'm here
And I will never leave your side
But I have to contend with the fact that I am helpless outside
When I saw what remained
I could not even bear to imagine the fear you must have felt
When it all fell and I was not there
I wish I could have been there
I would have gladly taken your place
Erase this ordeal
Obliterate any trace of today
But I can’t
I’m still here
Waiting for you to be safely in my arms
Unharmed
For however long it takes
I will call your name
Hoping my voice makes you less afraid
‘Cause I'm here
Still here
I'm not leaving
I’m not leaving you
Then they brought you out
Breathless and limp
That’s when the heavens sent
Its cruelest shards to my heart, through my skin
How am I supposed to accept this?
How am I supposed to get through this?
How am I supposed to carry on?
Carry on, knowing...
I will never see you smile again
I will never hear you laugh again
Never feel your touch again
I will never be with you again
Did you even hear me before you left?
Now that you are gone
Somehow life still spins on
But only because it has to...
