Melanie Martinez Rocking Horse

[Verse 1]

I'm in the process of counting sheep

But they're all so bloody

My hushed little baby still makes a peep

There's a ghost in the nursery

I'm haunted even when you’re never there

And I'm taunted by your teddy bear

Like it's talking and it's asking me

Why you never came home

 

[Pre-Chorus]

I missed my shower

I miss your cradle

I miss your carriage

I miss carriage,

"I miscarriaged,

M-miss-miscarriaged"

And you never came home

 

[Chorus]

Back and forth

Back and forth

Move back and forth

Like a rocking horse

That rocking horse

That your daddy bought you

That you never saw

Goes back and forth

Back and forth

Back and forth

Move back and forth

Like a rocking horse

That rocking horse

That your daddy bought you

That you never saw

Goes back and forth

 

[Verse 2]

I'm in the process of apologies

There's a husband who doesn't know that I'm guilty

There's a hushed little secret inside of me

And a ghost in the nursery

Oh honey, you'll never see your son become a star

Or the money you spent on that box of cigars

And I'm sorry you never got to inhale them

Ah, ah, ah, ah

 

[Pre-Chorus]

This is for all the horses

Never gave him a horse

That never grew to be Porsches

This is for all divorces

That were caused by abortions

Babies having babies and babies having abortions

 

[Chorus]

Back and forth

Back and forth

Move back and forth

Like a rocking horse

That rocking horse

That your daddy bought you

That you never saw

Goes back and forth

Back and forth

Back and forth

Move back and forth

Like a rocking horse

That rocking horse

That your daddy bought you

That you never saw

Goes back and forth

 

[Bridge]

Rocking horse

Rocking horse

Oooh

Back and forth

You never came home

Rocking horse

Rocking horse

Oooh

Back and forth

And you never came home

 

[Chorus]

Back and forth

Back and forth

Move back and forth

Like a rocking horse

That rocking horse

That your daddy bought you

That you never saw

Goes back and forth

Back and forth

Back and forth

Move back and forth

Like a rocking horse

That rocking horse

That your daddy bought you

That you never saw

Goes back and forth
