Small Bump Lyrics

"Small Bump"

[Verse 1:]
You're just a small bump unborn, in four months you're brought to life,
You might be left with my hair, but you'll have your mother's eyes,
I'll hold your body in my hands, be as gentle as I can, but for now your...

   Actually this song 100% was writtend about his nephew. Ed's sister had a miscarriage at 4 months and this song is dedicated to what could have been. And what should have been.

   He wrote it for his friend, Katie, who had a miscarriage 4 months before she was due to have the baby. Although he was writing the song as if it was him.

   The meaning of this song and the point of it is from his friend, who suffered a miscarrige, he could of been the father, because it says and I quote '..you might be left with my hair, but you'll have your mothers eyes.'
   
   In the last verse this comes apparent to us by as it says 'you where just a small bump unborn, in 4 months, then torn from life, maybe you where needed up there, but we're still unaware as why..'.
   
   Hope this helped :)

   The wording suggests its a miscarrige because it says "just a small bump unborn" when it was torn from life..

   I think it is about the interpretation of fear and sorrow when experiencing a misscariage but he's written it as if his friends baby is his.
