I see pictures of my mama hanging on the wall
She's never looked so happy and I've never looked so small
Now I'm holding you and I know what they say is true
When a baby's born, that's when a mother's born too

And time starts ticking and ticking
Don't wanna blink or I'll miss it
I found my reason for living

'Cause I felt it before but it wasn't like this
Ain't a thing I wouldn't do
Ain't a thing I wouldn't give
It's the kind you fall into and never hit the bottom of
It's a scary love
It's a scary love

Driving to the store ain't just driving to the store anymore
Don't wanna imagine 'cause anything could happen
I still can't believe just how often my knees hit the floor
God, I feel helpless but I can't really help it

I'd trade my life in a second to save you
There ain't no question
Yeah, it's a curse, it's a blessing, blessing

'Cause I felt it before but it wasn't like this
Ain't a thing I wouldn't do
Ain't a thing I wouldn't give
It's the kind you fall into and never hit the bottom of
It's a scary love
It's a scary love

Can't wait to watch you grow up
No, I never wanted anything more
But I know it's gonna kill me
Watching you walk out that door

I felt it before but it wasn't like this
Ain't a thing I wouldn't do
Ain't a thing I wouldn't give
It's the kind you fall into and never hit the bottom of
Damn, it's a scary love
