[Yelawolf - Sabrina lyrics]
I woke up from a deep sleep
I must've had a nightmare
But, I really cannot remember
My heart was beating up out of
My chest and I was cold
I must've left the window cracked
Twenty-fifth of September and the
Winter's coming back
The house is unusually quiet and
I'm wondering where Sabrina's at
By this time at eight o'clock
She would've been pullin' on my blanket
Saying daddy "I want some cereal"
Wondering where her mommy's at
My door is wide open
I can hear the breeze hit the curtains
Wind chime hangin' on the front porch singing
Sabrina must be asleep
I pull back the sheets
Get up and walk toward her room in the hall
Not a peep, not a sound, not at all
The anxiety of a father is settin' in
As I turn the corner to her room
Her Mickey Mouse blanket's on the floor
She isn't in the bed
I take a deep breath, put my hand on my head
Relax it's a game of hide and seek
She's in the closet I know it
I open the door "Gotcha!" she isn't there
The faint sound of the television from
Downstairs is playing some cartoons
She's on the couch of course
How did I oversleep? "Baby girl
Why didn't you come wake up daddy?"
Not a response fear turned to frustration
"Sabrina, answer me"
"'Brina, this isn't funny"
I ran to the couch, she's not there
I'm startin' to panic and
I'm lookin' up everywhere
Guest rooms, bathrooms, cabinets
Under the tables, the attic
Wait a minute, oh God no
I know she wouldn't go outside
We live so far back in the woods
She wouldn't dare
It's too scary for a little girl
Just to go bye bye
I'm trying to escape my mind's eye
But my imagination is runnin' wild
At this point I'm talkin' to God
"Please Lord, please, I'm scared
Help me find my child"
I run to the basement (Sabrina)
Sweat beads on my hands
Pacin', thinkin', pacin', thinkin'
Turn my face in
The screen door to the backyard's ajar
I run to the swing set swing set? No
Sandbox? No
God dammit Sabrina where'd you go?
There's a trail to a pond that
I take her to every day
Maybe she's down there i run down the trail
It's about a hundred yards
We usually hang out on the pier
And as I get close in
Everything moves slow motion
Her little white shirt on the
Surface of the water
She was there – lifeless, floating
(oh my God) the pain I can't explain
I couldn't say anything i ran to the water
God, is this really my daughter?
I picked her up, she was heavy
I held her tight in my arms
I took her out of the pond
I laid her down in the grass
I couldn't breath, I gasped
Givin' her CPR, she wasn't respondin' to it
My phone in my pocket my hands are shakin'
My vision's blurry
9-1-1, send an ambulance in a hurry
But it was too late
No tellin' how long she wasn't breathing
Her skin was the color purple
Her lips were ice cold
She must have fell off the pier
Reachin' for her teddy bear
She tried to get out
She got wood under her nails
God, what did you do to
Us? What have you done?
I say my prayers at night
Haven't I been a good son?
What did you do to my baby? She's mine
Now give her back
You don't deserve her if you
Let her die like that!
I must've had a nightmare
But, I really cannot remember
My heart was beating up out of
My chest and I was cold
I must've left the window cracked
