I Wasn't Strong Enough

I came into this world, barely holding on You fought for me when I was weak and small Now the tables turned, but I couldn't be strong I should have been there, but I let myself fall I love you, I swear I do, but my heart couldn't face the truth Now the silence is loud and the echoes remain A mother's love now only in pain I wasn't strong enough to say goodbye But I love you more than words can cry Every heartbeat, every breath I take Is a piece of you that won't fade away Oh, I miss you, I miss you so much I wasn't there, but I hold your love Your hands once held me when I couldn't stand Now I reach for you in empty hands Every whisper of a wind, every star at night I hope you hear me I hope you're all right I love you, I swear I do, but my heart couldn't face the truth Now the silence is loud and the echoes remain A mother's love now only in pain I wasn't strong enough to say goodbye But I love you more than words can cry Every heartbeat, every breath I take Is a piece of you that won't fade away Oh, I miss you, I miss you so much I wasn't there, but I hold your love If I could turn back time, I'd hold your hand Tell you I love you, make you understand But I know you knew deep in your heart Love doesn't break even when we're apart So I'll carry you in every step I take In every sunrise, in every mistake You gave me life, you gave me love And now you shine from the stars above Shine from the stars above You gave me love, gave me love Mm, mm, you gave me love
