Josh Rister - Little Handprints
00
Copied!
(Verse 1)
We came home from the hospital, didn’t say a word
Two little handprints on a single piece of paper
A part of both of us missing, more dead than alive
A pair of wayward lovers, broken hearts and broken minds
We go to bed, I try to hold her, she says the feelin' ain't there
And I help her to the shower so she can wash her hair
Some friends stop by to visit, she puts on a smile
But its only for their sake, only lasts a little while
(Chorus)
I wish there was a way to tell her it’ll be okay
But there ain’t nothing I can do
But hold her at the end of the day
(Verse 2)
A man must be a rock, so I pretend that I’m okay
But I stare at those little handprints whenever she’s away
I try to go along like I’ve pushed you from my mind
But part of me dies every time I hear a baby cry
We try to talk about it, but we only manage sobs
Then try to drown it out by heading to our jobs
We don’t want to forget you, Lord knows that ain’t the goal
But remembering right now feels like digging an empty hole
(Chorus)
I wish there was a way to tell myself I’ll be okay
But there ain’t nothing I can do
But hold her at the end of the day
But I wish I was holding you
At the end of the day
We came home from the hospital, didn’t say a word

A part of both of us missing, more dead than alive
A pair of wayward lovers, broken hearts and broken minds
