Unborn Potential

Intro

Oh oh

Mmm

Oh oh

Verse 1

Empty cradle in the corner of my mind

No weight to hold

A shadow where the shape was defined

Nothing to scold

Pre-Chorus

The plans I threw away

The ghosts that stayed

To watch the colors fade

Chorus

I never sang you any lullaby

Never watched you grow

Never had to say goodbye

Never let you go

No first words spoken in the kitchen light

No tiny hand to grip

Lost in the middle of a restless night

The cup let slip

Verse 2

I pushed the thought down deep

Winter took the root

Promises I didn't want to keep

Bearing bitter fruit

Pre-Chorus

I chose a different path

Still feel the aftermath

The quiet after the bath

Chorus

I never sang you any lullaby

Never watched you grow

Never had to say goodbye

Never let you go

No first words spoken in the kitchen light

No tiny hand to grip

Lost in the middle of a restless night

The cup let slip

Bridge

Missing the messy rooms

Missing the morning glooms

Missing the heavy looms

A haunting of what wasn't there

The chill in the morning air

Chorus

I never sang you any lullaby

Never watched you grow

Never had to say goodbye

Never let you go

No first words spoken in the kitchen light

No tiny hand to grip

Lost in the middle of a restless night

The cup let slip

Post-Chorus

Gone away

Gone away

The empty yesterday

Away

Away
