[Chorus]
He used to be somebody's baby
Someone used to hold him close (Someone held him close)
And rock him gently
He used to be the light in someone's eyes
He used to matter, he used to matter

[Verse 1]
Someone cared if he lived or died
Someone held him in their arms when he cried
When he hurt, someone kept the world away
Someone loved him, someone loved him (Someone)

[Chorus]
He used to be somebody's baby (He used to be)
Someone used to hold him close (Someone held him close)
And rock him gently
He used to be the light in someone's eyes (He used to be)
He used to matter, he used to matter
He used to matter

[Verse 2]
That was then, that was so long ago
Long before they came and took his soul
Long before he became invisible
That was when he wasn't human garbage then
[Instrumental Break]

[Interlude]
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Oh-oh)
(Ooh)

[Chorus]
He used to be somebody's baby
Someone used to hold him close (Someone held him close)
And rock him gently
He used to be the light in someone's eyes
He used to matter (He used to matter)
He used to matter

[Outro]
He used to be somebody's baby
(Ooh, oh-oh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ah-ah)
(Ah, ah-ah)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
