Waking Nightmare
by Convictions

Album: The Fear of God - Deluxe

Verse 1
Dear God, she's reaching out
A shattered, broken soul overwhelmed with doubt
The room fell silent when she hit the ground
Searching for a sign of life beyond the ultrasound
She falls to her knees, begging to the Lord, please
She feels the weight of the loss for a life that will never be
A memory, a broken dream
With every breath that she takes, she's praying out to conceive
The silence echoes in her mind
Begging to turn back the sands of time
Her heart aches with each and every beat
Longing for the chance to hold the child she'll never meet

Chorus
I'm never gonna know what it's like to love you
I'll never get to feel your heartbeat (Heartbeat)
There's nothing in the world I wouldn't try to undo
You're being ripped away from me
Waking up without you is just not enough
'Cause living on
Feels more and more like a waking nightmare

Verse 2
There's no sorry that'll soothe the burn
Careless apologies, insensitive words
Consumed with guilt every passing day
These wounds are too deep, they'll never go away
"I'll never forgive"
"I'll never forgive myself," she said
"I failed as a mother"
Crying myself to sleep each night

Chorus
I'm never gonna know what it's like to love you
I'll never get to feel your heartbeat (Heartbeat)
There's nothing in the world I wouldn't try to undo
You're being ripped away from me
Waking up without you is just not enough
'Cause living on
Feels more and more like a waking nightmare

Breakdown
She screams out, losing his life was like losing two
A part of me died, I'll never get over you
Never, never, never

Verse 3
Time may heal, but this emptiness I will always feel
A mother's love will never fade
Forever the trauma remains, but I will learn
To welcome the pain

Chorus
Waking up without you is just not enough
'Cause living on
Feels more and more like a waking nightmare
(Waking up without you is just not enough)
I'm never gonna know what it's like to love you
I'll never get to feel your heartbeat (Heartbeat)
(Living on feels more and more like a waking nightmare)
There's nothing in the world I wouldn't try to undo
You're being ripped away from me

Outro
Lord, help me see the light
The constant strain that cuts like a knife
I'm reaching out for a meaning
I'll see you again
I'll see you again
I'll see you again
