"Please"

The colors drained from everything

That's ever held my attention

My stares drew blanks through everything

I tried hard not to mention

My state of mind

Chasing time

Just to get away from

The voices saying sorry and

The looks making me cry

CHORUS

But it's the Christmas lights and the winter nights for me

The endless why's and the hundred tries to plead

To anybody listening

It's a tiny laugh and "to the moon and back" for me

"You're gonna be a dad" then taking it back, I plead

To anybody listening

Stop this all from happening

Please

The circus came to burn it all

But our love outran the stress

Our lungs cleared up, the fog set in

A year we won't forget

Now I try to lie

Say it's fine

In hopes to get away from

The green and yellow waiting rooms

Confirming that you died

CHORUS

Cause it's tiny shoes and never knowing you for me

The "it's just a fluke" and my changing moods to plead

To anybody listening

It's sundress twirls and tiny curls for me

Daddy's girl and "mama's whole world", I plead

To anybody listening

Stop this all from happening

Please

It's the filling of boxes and knowing I've lost it for me

The bullet launching and thinking we dodged it, I plead

It's the "1 in 4", never wanted you more, for me

The slamming doors and this hopeless war, I plead

To anybody listening

Is anybody listening

Please?

Stop this all from happening

Please
