[Verse 1]
Oh my God, is it over?
Smiling devil on my shoulder
Cut the cord for the leaving
Fatherless for a season

[Verse 2]
How we break long division
I will miss all her children
Fall from grace and your favor
From now on, just a stranger

[Chorus]
But you took your breath from me
But you took your breath from me

[Verse 3]
Cast my bones to the casket
Tell her how long it lasted
Hold a place in the mortar
Lay her down here, my daughter
Root her seed to another
I was her native mother
Never thought I could save her
Please remind her I made her
