Bean

My sister told me she's going to have a baby
I cried for hours, but I swear the tears were happy
I can't believe we've made it here already
I guess it makes sense, we're both pushing 30

And I hope this new life breathes new life in me
But I know that's a lot to ask
Of someone who's the size of a bean

I hope one day to be a mom myself
But right now I can't imagine loving someone else
I want to be like the woman who raised me
But I'm so scared I'll never find out
What it means to love unconditionally

And I hope this new life breathes new life in me
And I know that's a lot to ask
For someone still the size of a bean
I'm banking on feeling something new
I have no backup plan
So I hope my prayers come true

Even in the midst of your joy
My selfishness precedes me
I'm thinking about what your baby can give to me
And not what I can give
'Cause all I have is sorrow,
And that's the one thing I won't let them borrow

I hope this new life breathes new life in me
And I know that's a lot to ask
Of someone still the size of a bean
I'm banking on feeling something new
So I'm placing all my bets on you
