You were five
Brandishing the bread knife
"I am capable of love"
Your Grandfather spoke more with his fists
Than he ever did with words
We are born as soft, futile mirrors
So I hurt to be heard
I am capable of love
I am capable of love
I am capable of love
You were a baby, when I held you last
Siphoning the floods, we run them parallel
Searching through the mud, I watched you as you fell
Told you not to cry
Don't wear a woman's eyes
Anger is our church
A front, with fear behind
I am capable of love
I am capable of love
I am capable of love
You were a baby, when I held you last
I am capable of love
I am capable of love
I am capable of love
You were a baby, when I held you last
Unconditional, I cradled you
Unconditional, I cradled you
I am capable of love
I am capable of love
I am capable of love
You were a baby, when I held you last
