Fiyablasta - MIA (Purple Hearts 2) Lyrics

Remember Denise? (Yeah, Mike)
I realized she deleted me on Facebook last week
(So what? Y'all haven't been speaking for years)
Yeah, I get it but that moment had my brain shifting gears
I've kept something to myself and that made it resurface
(What's that?) Give me a minute this news is making me nervous
I thought that would give me liquid courage
8 years ago, I told you she was my first
Even though I knew that it wasn't likely that we'd work
And it didn't. (Yeah, I know that) Shh! I'm finding my words
Screw it, man, we almost gave birth
(Wait, what?) almost... it's true
We were both out of town when I heard the news
(Did you abort?) Sorry for the misdirection
She had a miscarriage after its conception
The battlefield of love may end up with some casualties
Our purple hearts remind us of the pain our past has seen
Though we'd like move on
We must mourn the troops gone
And missing in action
Missing in action
Back then, when I learned we conceived
And later lost I was relieved, but that was just me
And although I planned to be daddy
I wonder her side of the scene
"I finally found my family
And a man who undoubtedly loves me
But will he still stick around if there's a kid that's bound
To be born needing some Huggies
I know we'll be struggling
Whether he stays or he doesn't
Wait, why am I bloody?
Pain in my stomach
Is unbearable; its incomparable
Passing what's in my womb
What did I do to deserve to deal with this alone
Cause he can't console me over this loss over the phone"
(Am I wrong?)
The battlefield of love may end up with some casualties
Our purple hearts remind us of the pain our past has seen
Though we'd like move on
We must mourn the troops gone
And missing in action
Missing in action
Now I know that if we had the child
We probably wouldn't be living the greatest lifestyle
But we would be parents of an elementary schooler
Worrying about if we have its pencils, books, and rulers
Hopefully, we'd agree to teach about God and manners
So the kid wouldn't be like us, becoming awful planners
Think first, act second; since ours were reckless
Having sex without protection and before we had a wedding
We could penniless from the choices that we've made
Stretching each check we get just to eat from day to day
We didn't finish college, but we hope our son's a scholar
Or that we don't separate making our daughter's life harder
Maybe we never stayed together
Basically making not having kids better
But it makes me want to cry that it never saw the light
We didn't get to try to get through the storm we could weather
The battlefield of love may end up with some casualties
Our purple hearts remind us of the pain our past has seen
Though we'd like move on
We must mourn the troops gone
And missing in action
Missing in action
I want to say
If you felt this pain
You are not alone
Whether you want kids
Or the opposite
We know we still mourn
We have purple hearts
Cause we've loved and lost
And some are M.I.A
Emotions will run wild
Over a unborn child
No need to feel ashamed
They say
The battlefield of love may end up with some casualties
Our purple hearts remind us of the pain our past has seen
Though we'd like move on
We must mourn the troops gone
And missing in action
Missing in action
