 Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer

You were born to the stars but now you live with a halo
The day that we lost you was overwhelmingly painful
And it still doesn't make sense I look at life from all angles
But mom and dad still wonder why god made our baby an angel
Mommy cried in my arms that time was blinded by dark
You should have seen the way she hurt for you the knife in her heart
Though daddy didn't seem to show it know it tore him apart
Cause daddy cried when it was silent and he mourns in his art
Life was hard at the start but having mommy eased the pain
But I guess that having me never made mommy feel the same
We did all we could do both got matching tattoos
We got these little angel wing just to remind us of you
We used to keep the things we bought you hanging up in our apartment
In the end I think that stuff was just to cover up the heartbreak
Cause that wasn't enough and mommy's heart sank to her guts
That started the diving spiral that had broken us up
Remember lightning bug jars we used to capture em in
Feels like my book just skipped a chapter all the laughter I missed
I heard that mommy had a new man and it shattered my chest
You'd be the only thing that made me happy after she left
Life is cause and effect you have to stay with the course
You have a home to protect you have to pay for support
Riley I wish I could see you but I'd stay in the void
Cause baby life is overrated filled with hate and remorse
Life will never be the same because a change was supposed to spin it
Now I'm staring at the clock because a second lasts a minute
I don't think that there's a hell but if there is then you're not in it
But I hope if there's a heaven that you're with your brother Bennett
Cause losing you didn't only hurt the heart of your parents
It hurt the heart of everyone that heard of your disappearance
It hurt so bad we numb the pain with different strains of placebo
It hurt cause Uncle Mike wanted to see you grow up with Leo
They say that time can heal the wound but she had paid him in full
But even time couldn't haul all of the pain that Em pulled
My heart goes out to you cause I know you still fight with the bull
The pain of being a mom without a child to hold
I look to god for wisdom but it'd broken and distant
Sometimes I hear the messages within the notes and the rhythm
If you survive then mommy dies no matter what there's a victim
But I guess that that's the way that god had programmed the system
It still hurts down to the bones especially now I'm alone
But I bottle up my pain and I express it in poems
I just wish I would have know if you had made it through birth
The person that you would be and your impact on the earth
It's what it is to be human just love and pain in a cycle
That's what I feel hearing your name that's why I made it the title
When I wrote this song it hit me like a wave that was tidal
And by the end of this I hope it's made you feel as much as I do
I love you Riley
I hope daddy made you proud
Thank you for listening
