Split his ribs open using my bare hands
But I could not repair all of the damage
Built of milk and flesh, so meek and mild
But I know if he'd lived, he'd have grown to be wild
[Hook]
They broke him and they beat him
And break he did
They took him from me, my baby
And break he did
[Verse 2]
His skin went white as chalk, his limbs turned soft and limp
I cradled him through those moments of weakness
And watched him drift between the worlds of living and dead
Until he sunk down into the pavement
[Hook]
They broke him and they beat him
And break he did
They took him from me, my baby
And break he did
[Verse 3]
And he laid there for days
In the cold and the wind
But I could not breathe life back in
I tried to fill up his lungs with the air from my own
But he did not wake up again
No, he didn't
[Outro]
Split his ribs open using my bare hands
But I could not repair all of the damage
[Verse 1] Split his ribs open using my bare hands But I could not repair all of the damage Built of milk and flesh, so meek and mild But I know if he'd lived, he'd have grown to be wild [Hook] They broke him and they beat him And break he did They took him from me, my baby And break he did [Verse 2] His skin went white as chalk, his limbs turned soft and limp I cradled him through those moments of weakness And watched him drift between the worlds of living and dead Until he sunk down into the pavement [Hook] They broke him and they beat him And break he did They took him from me, my baby And break he did [Verse 3] And he laid there for days In the cold and the wind But I could not breathe life back in I tried to fill up his lungs with the air from my own But he did not wake up again No, he didn't [Outro] Split his ribs open using my bare hands But I could not repair all of the damage Explain Request ×
