Warning
Damon Intrabartolo Lyrics

So there it is, Claire it is as you feared
Claire's worst fears have come true with the revelation of some impending closure.

All these years of wonder, their closure draws near
After years of optimism and hope, there seems to be an impending end.

A quiet kind of distance, a word I would not touch
There was an unspoken, estranged distance that Claire could not confront or acknowledge.

Did I ever know my son at all? Well now I know too much
Claire's perception of her son has been radically altered, leaving her questioning if she knew him at all.

But where was the warning? How can this be?
Claire is overwhelmed and shocked that she was not warned or prepared for what is happening.

I guess there are somethings we don't want to see.
Claire understands that sometimes people overlook important, painful details because they don't want to confront them.

Where was the warning to know this was coming?
Claire feels unprepared, and questions why she wasn't given any warning or foresight into what is happening now.

Now what do I do with this news find numbing
Claire is overwhelmed and doesn't know how to handle this sudden, shocking news.

And what if I liked the song I heard before,
Claire reflects on the past optimism, and wonders what would have happened if things stayed the same.

The one I sang when my boy was born
Claire is thinking back to happier times when her son was born.

All the dreams I had for him
Claire had high aspirations and dreams for her son's future.

They fade away, lost in words I could not say.
Claire feels like her hopes and dreams for her son are disappearing before her eyes, beyond her control.

I wish that I could hold him,
Claire is torn apart thinking of her son, who is not with her in this difficult time.

God, he's all alone and scared
Claire fears for her son's safety and wellbeing. She wishes she was there to protect him.

I should be there for him, I love him so
Claire is thinking about how much she cares for her son, and how she wishes she was with him in his time of need.

But I am not prepared
Despite her care and desire to help her son, Claire feels unprepared and unequipped to help him in this difficult time.

Where was the warning? His father will die
Claire is shocked and heartbroken by the news of her son's father's impending death. She wonders why she was not warned about it.

How do I tell him? He can't see me cry
Claire is struggling with how to break the news to her son without breaking down herself. She wants to be strong and supportive for him.

Where was the warning? Don't tell anyone
Claire doesn't want to face pity from others or attention for her situation. She wants to keep it private.

I don't want their pity, I just want... my son
Amidst all the chaos and fear, Claire just wants to be reunited with her son and hold him close.

It's happened, it's happened,
Claire is coming to terms with the reality of her situation, knowing she can't turn back the clock.

And life is so strange
Claire is experiencing the unpredictable, unexpected nature of life in a very intense way.

One simple word
A single, unexpected revelation has changed everything for Claire and her son.

And the whole world has changed
The news Claire has received has completely shifted her reality and the way she perceives the world.

Could this really be my child?
Claire is grappling with the overwhelming reality of the situation and is questioning whether this could all be real.

My firstborn, my child
Despite the chaos and fear, Claire still feels immense love for her son and is reminded of their special bond.

Playing in his cradle, so tender and mild...
As Claire thinks back to happier times, she reminisces about her son as a baby, feeling nostalgic and saddened at the same time.
