Heartbeat

[Intro:]
Now this is not necessarily based on a true story but I'm pretty sure that somebody has been through this at one point in their life
I mean, you just gotta learn how to apologize
How to say I'm sorry
And never go to bed mad
Never leave the house mad cuz you never know if that person gone be taken away from you
And that's just real
I want you to listen to this lil story
I call this my "Heartbeat"
Oh, how precious a heartbeat is
Listen...

[Verse 1:]
Should've told you bout the feeling I had before you walked out
Used to blow up the words wit my hands in your face calling you this and that
Talked so reckless cuz I thought that I was paying you back
Then my phone rang
I thought it was you but it was your boy
He said it got crazy at the club
It was wildin then something went wrong
I knew by his tone that you was gone
Mean things ran through my head cuz I thought it was my fault
And I...

[Chorus:]
Wish I could kiss you and tell you I love you. (I wish)
I miss you
Give anything for you just to tell you I'm sorry. (Hmmm)
It'd make me so complete if I can hear your heartbeat. (Make me so complete)
Wish I could see you again. (I wish)
Don't know when we'll meet again. (Cuz I don't know)
I'd give anything to hear you breathe again
It'd put my mind at ease if I can hear your heartbeat. (It'd put my mind at ease if I can hear your)

[Verse 2:]
Why did I keep so many things about us bottled inside?
Why not tell you I found out that I was having your child?
But now it's too late
Cuz...
(Your)
Your…
So...
(Gone)
Why did you have to go to the club?
Why couldn't you stay home?
Why couldn't we just go in the room and make love?
Why did I leave the message that I think it caused you your life?
Wish I…

[Chorus:]
Wish I could kiss you and tell you I love you. (Wish I could kiss you, wish I could tell you that I really love you)
I miss you
Give anything for you just to tell you I'm sorry
It'd make me so complete if I can hear your heartbeat. (Make me so complete if I can hear your heartbeat)
Wish I could see you again
Don't know when we'll meet again. (Oh, I wish)
I'd give anything to hear you breathe again
It'd put my mind at ease if I can hear your heartbeat. (I'd give anything to put my mind at ease) (If I can hear ya, if I can hear your heartbeat)

[Bridge:]
I started to question God. (I started to question God)
Why'd he take you away from me this way? (Why'd he take you away from me?)
I'm about to have your baby. (Cuz I found out that I was having your baby)
Baby
Baby
But my pastor said that this isn't a mistake. (I went to my pastor)
That he knows God cannot make. (And he said God cannot make no mistakes)
But I need to know can you hear me? (So I need to know)
(I can hear you) (Can you hear me baby?)

[Verse 3:]
Baby, I'm sorry that I left you this way. (Ohhh)
But he needed me that's way he brought me to his place
I just wished I could've said goodbye
And kissed you before they took my life away. (Ohhhh)
But promise me that you'll take care of my child
Let him or her know daddy didn't mean to walk out
And remember that I love you baby
And I'm watching over you and our lil baby

[Chorus:]
Wish I could kiss you and tell you I love you. (Wish I could kiss you)
I miss you
Give anything for you just to tell you I'm sorry
It'd make me so complete if I can hear your heartbeat. (How much I miss you, cuz I'm so sorry)
Wish I could see you again. (I just wanna hear your heartbeat, yeah)
Don't know when we'll meet again. (I don't know when we'll meet again)
I'd give anything to hear you breathe again
It'd put my mind at ease if I can hear your heartbeat. (It'd put my mind at ease if I could hear your, if I could hear your heartbeat)

[Chorus:]
Wish I could kiss you and tell you I love you. (Oh baby, I miss you)
I miss you
Give anything for you just to tell you I'm sorry. (Oh baby, I love you)
It'd make me so complete if I can hear your heartbeat. (It would make me so complete if I can hear your heartbeat)
Wish I could see you again. (I wonder if you'll open up the gates for me)
Don't know when we'll meet again
I'd give anything to hear you breathe again
It'd put my mind at ease if I can hear your heartbeat. (It'd put my mind at ease if I could hear your heart, if I could hear your heartbeat again)

Oh, baby I love you
