Lyrics
Haven't seen you in so long
Must be nine months or more
I was weak, but now I'm stronger
You seem so soft and warm
Fat baby in your arms
Sometimes I wish it was ours
Wake up and realize
I'm struggling, I'm stumbling
Understand, I don't understand
These feelings, oh, I am struggling
You seem so sweet in your newfound place
I don't wish to disturb you
I know all the wrong things to say
I'll probably say them all
That's the way I've seen things going
Wake up and realize
I'm struggling, I'm stumbling
Understand, I don't understand
These feelings, struggling
I don't understand at all
At all
Wake up and realize
I'm struggling, I'm stumbling
Understand, I don't understand
These feelings, oh, I am struggling
Understand, understand
Understand, understand
I don't understand at all
I don't understand at all
At all
