I've been lost since this world began
Nothing ever really felt like home
Since you became a memory
I've always known I'd be alone

Every room became my fortress
Every silence learned my name
People said that time was healing…
But time forgot me just the same

Tell me…
Who holds the children left behind?

Give me the last rites…
For the child I used to be
The one who still believed that love
Could shelter everything

I buried more than just your voice
More than flesh and bone
The day they carried you away…
My world became alone

I've lit a thousand candles
None have ever warmed the dark
I've filled my hands with holy water…
Still couldn't heal my heart

They promised there was meaning
A reason for the pain
But every comfort sounded hollow…
Sorry for your loss again and again

If heaven takes our mothers…
Why leave their children here?

If God has any mercy
Why am I still here…?

The sound of one door closing…
One heartbeat turning still…
One little child still waiting…
Alone, afraid and broken until…

Give me the last rites…
For every prayer I knew
For every piece of innocence
That disappeared with you

I don't ask for miracles
Or forgiveness from above
Just one more chance to hear you say…
My name with mother's love
