When I Almost Fell Apart

AI/KI Verse 1 The room was loud with crying My heart was beating fast I felt the walls were closing in Like I couldn't breathe at last My hands were shaking badly Tears were on my face I thought I wasn't strong enough To hold this fragile place Pre-Chorus I whispered, “Maybe I'm not meant for this… Maybe I'm doing it all wrong…” Chorus But you held me in the silence With our baby in your arms You said, “You're stronger than you think you are You're safe here from the storms Good mothers worry when things feel wrong That's how I know you care When the night feels far too heavy You remind me you are there Verse 2 I said I should just leave the house I was scared of what I'd be That maybe I was failing At the one thing meant for me But you looked at me so gently Like you saw inside my heart And you held us both together When I was falling apart Pre-Chorus You said, “You don't have to carry this alone Just tell me when it's hard.” Chorus And you held me in the silence With our baby in your arms You said, “You're stronger than you think you are You're safe here from the storms Good mothers worry when things feel wrong That's how I know you care When the night feels far too heavy You remind me you are there Bridge If the world gets loud again And the tears begin to fall I know your hands will find mine You won't let me break at all Two tired hearts, one little life Learning day by day And every time I lose my strength You help me find my way Final Chorus So hold me in the silence With our baby in your arms You are the quiet in my chaos You are shelter from the storms And if someday I forget The mother that I am I'll remember in your voice again: "You're stronger than you think you are."
