Paroles Rocking Horse par Melanie Martinez

I'm in the process of counting sheep
But they're all so bloody
My hushed little baby still makes a peep
There's a ghost in the nursery
I'm haunted even when you're never there
And I'm taunted by your teddy bear
Like it's talkin' and it's asking me
Why you never came home

I missed the shower
I miss your cradle
I miss your carriage
I miscarriaged
I miscarriaged, mis-miscarriaged
And you never came home

Back and forth, back and forth
Move back and forth like a rocking horse
That rocking horse that your daddy bought you
That you never saw goes back and forth
Back and forth, back and forth
Move back and forth like a rocking horse
That rocking horse that your daddy bought you
That you never saw goes back and forth

I'm in the process of apologies
There's a husband who doesn't know that I'm guilty
There's a harsh little secret inside of me
And a ghost in the nursery
Oh, honey, you'll never see your son become a star
Or the money you spent on that box of cigars
And I'm sorry you never got to hand them out

This is for all the horses never given a horseman
Never grew to be Porsches
This is for all divorces that were caused by abortions
Babies having babies and babies having abortions

Back and forth, back and forth
Move back and forth like a rocking horse
That rocking horse that your daddy bought you
That you never saw goes back and forth
Back and forth, back and forth
Move back and forth like a rocking horse
That rocking horse that your daddy bought you
That you never saw goes back and forth

Rockin' horse, rockin' horse
Ooh, back and forth
You never came home
Rockin' horse, rockin' horse
Ooh, back and forth
And you never came home

Back and forth, back and forth
Move back and forth like a rocking horse
That rocking horse that your daddy bought you
That you never saw goes back and forth
Back and forth, back and forth
Move back and forth like a rocking horse
That rocking horse that your daddy bought you
That you never saw goes back and forth
