Sheeran, Ed - Small Bump Lyrics






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 you're a scan of my unmade plans
A small bump
In four months you're brought to life

I'll whisper quietly
I'll give you nothing but truth
If you're not inside me
I'll put my future in you

You are my one and only
You can wrap your fingers 'round my thumb and hold me tight
Oh, you are my one and only
You can wrap your fingers 'round my thumb and hold me tight
And you'll be alright

Oh, you're just a small bump unknown
You'll grow into your skin
With a smile like hers
And a dimple beneath your chin

Fingernails the size
Of a half grain of rice
And eyelids closed to be soon opened wide
A small bump
In four months you'll open your eyes

And I'll hold you tightly
I'll tell you nothing but truth
If you're not inside me
I'll put my future in you

You are my one and only
You can wrap your fingers 'round my thumb and hold me tight
Oh, you are my one and only
You can wrap your fingers 'round my thumb and hold me tight
And you'll be alright

And you can lie with me
With your tiny feet
When you're half asleep
I'll leave you be
Right in front of me
For a couple weeks
So I can keep you safe

'Cause you are my one and only
You can wrap your fingers 'round my thumb and hold me tight
You are my one and only
You can wrap your fingers 'round my thumb and hold me tight
And you'll be alright

'Cause you were just a small bump unborn
For four months then torn from life
Maybe you were needed up there
But we're still unaware as why

Sheeran, Ed Small Bump Comments
  1. I.... c....

    iam came here, cz saw sg Rich Brian. Who do same like me?

  2. J.... K....

    My wife and I had 3 miscarriages in a year and a half (after having 2 completely healthy children). It made no sense to me why that would happen (psa: no religious affiliation at all) and now we are also raising our nephew because of drug-related issues.


    A year ago, my wife and I got tattoos, because the miscarriages were 15-17 weeks in, and I got a microphone with 3 roses surrounding it with each name above each rose. Written on the micophone are the lyrics: "You were just a small bump unborn."


    Only tattoo I have and I couldn't be a more meaningful piece.

  3. P.... V....

    Ed sheeran is mother's eye an abusive word? Please explain me.

  4. N.... M....

    i miss the old Ed :/

  5. P.... j....

    This is my favourite song from day 1🎼🎶🎧

  6. D.... I....

    This song goes out to my 👶🏻 baby. Who I lost the day after Christmas 💔 most heartbreaking thing that could ever happen to me and my family. Mom and dad and your big brother love you very much. 💕# our angel 👼 in heaven 12/26/2019

    D.... I....

    sorry to hear about your loss

  7. T.... M....

    I am 7 and I am called Maddie I love your songs

  8. T.... M....

    I hope your child is ok in heaven but I had this song when I was a baby now I love your songs I have saw your song called photograph I saw you as a baby

  9. N.... S....

    So good but so sad. Makes me thankful that I wasn't a miscarriage. And yeah. I'm 12, but whatever.

  10. J.... G....

    From a parent who has lost the gift of life more than once.. Thank you Ed, This song is absolutely beautiful!

  11. A.... C....

    10 wks 4 years ago. Still come back to this song to reminisce.

  12. M.... ....

    My brother Johnathan was stillborn. My mum doesn't talk about it much. I know it must still hurt though. She went on to have my sister and then me, but I know she would have wanted the three.

  13. A.... T....

    I used to listen to this song as a little kid before bed to help me sleep and deal with things. 8 years later I listened to it again, and I broke down in tears .

  14. T.... Z....

    12.28.15
    You would have been 4 years old this year and seeing your baby brother being born in February next year. My dear Adalynn I wish this world worked out for us. I'm forever blessed to have carried you for 8 months and held you for a few hours. I will be forever grateful for the 2 hours and 49 minutes you were with me on this Earth. I hope you're sleeping well my Princess. Mommy loves and misses you every day.

  15. D.... C....

    At first, I liked this kind of songs because it sounds good, it's from the famous singers. But since then, I slowly started to listen to songs carefully. Listening at how each word sounded and knowing what it wants to deliver while it was getting sang made us feel the song. While listening, I'm smiling. Remembering people who I can relate with songs. This song just gives me joy. This song made me realize that not all I want to say can be delivered by saying it. Ed Sheeran songs just helps people like us. He writes not from his own experience but for all of us who had and who could experience. It gives us courage to face the problems we are in, the problems we made, and give the best solution we can give. Truth is what always wins. Truth will set you free. Truth might hurt but will always heal you. So this song, even though I don't have a child yet but only a sister 11 years younger than me, it solidified my wishes for her. To make it all for her best.

  16. T.... .....

    This song helped me get through my misscarage

  17. E.... C....

    RIP my baby brother who died when he was born 😩😇xx

  21. B.... m....

    Who's here at 2019?!?!?

  22. S.... G....

    I’m telling you I still bawl my eyes over this song because it hits home, still such a beautiful song

  23. G.... O....

    If just one person read this it’ll honestly make my day. I’m a musician and singer from Bordeaux, France. So I’m fully aware that folks usually post these type of comments all the time, but I honestly do believe that I’ll be the one person who you’ll be so happy that you did hear out. If ONE PERSON could just give this a thumbs up, you will be a great step closer to helping a person’s dreams come true You won’t be disappointed. I just need one chance and two minutes of your time!
    Thanks for the help.

    G.... O....

    Hey dude I'm not trying to be mean but going around on other peoples work to promote your own is not something you should be doing. I checked you out and you have some real talent but you need to find other ways of getting your music out there because promoting your work on other peoples work is kind of shitty. Just some advice hope you get famous one day because you really are very good.

  24. m.... E....

    I find it hard to believe this was about his friend and not him... he has a dimple on his chin. He wrote about little one in River with his song with Eminem and increasing the population in Take it Back... I have a feeling Ed is hiding something (Miscarriage? Putting a kid up for adoption? Secret kid?). If he is it’s no ones business but still... the clues are there.

  25. K.... S....

    Twelve babies, and only two lived. Loved every one of them, even if it was just for a few minutes. The two that lived have given me three wonderful grandsons between the two of them. I live vicariously through those boys!

    K.... S....

    How do you do it? Live after those ten babies? I've lost and i feel like life is being drained out of everyday. I don't how much longer I could hold on😢

  26. V.... D....

    Maybe you were needed up there 👣👣👣

  27. O.... ....

    8 miscarriages, 2 late term twin girls and this song years later still gets me

  28. p.... t....

    i remember listening to this song.. over n over after my gf got prego well now ex.. we lost our child ... at 3 months pregnant . and it ended everything.. we both couldn't recover... i listen to this song to bring me closure..

  29. K.... N....

    I lost my first child over the weekend.. I had fallen in love with my precious Dee, so small and innocent. I was so excited to be a mom... Can anyone give me any advice? I can't get over the feeling of being empty and the loneliness

  30. L.... F....

    So beautiful! Très beau, merci Ed mon ami.

  31. T.... E....

    FUCK YOU IF YOU GOT AN ABORTION WITHOUT IGNORANCE

    T.... E....

    small bump is about a natural miscarriage/stillborn baby, not abortion

  32. t.... �....

    Para mí la canción mas triste que hizo :(

  33. N.... s....

    He used to put effort into his music now he releases garbage after garbage to appeal to the masses.

    N.... s....

    Ya No : that's just not true

  34. D.... R....

    Hits home🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

  35. D.... C....

    Thinking of my babies who were needed somewhere else 💙😢💟

  36. b.... ....

    Im a twin but my mom lost him at 4 months...everytime I listen to this it makes me think of him. I know we weren't born together but I've always felt a strong connection to him. Miss you Kev ❤

  37. C.... B....

    Ed sheeran had the same here lost my sister my family had the best 45 day with, her to my fly high beautiful

  38. �.... �....

    That’s happened last winter: I was in the school when my cousin called me and said I’d become a brother. I put on this song and just ran like the hell to the hospital to look at my “small bump”. Never forget that day..

  39. C.... T....

    Played this at my sons funeral after he was born at 23 weeks gestation.

    He survived for 18 days, this song bring so many memories x

  40. A.... C....

    I lost my baby on Friday..... I’m completely devastated and this song really brought it home again. 😭

    A.... C....

    Darling my thoughts and prayers are with you

    A.... C....

    I'm so sorry. I hope you will find the strength to go on

    A.... C....

    A.... C....

    So so sorry for your loss i lost my sister to cancer she was only 21 take i no it hard and it never goes away thinking off u x

  41. B.... E....

    This Summer my wife and I suffered a missed-miscarriage. I cried uncontrollably, as did she, when we got the news by the Emergency Room staff. The pain and emotional trauma experienced by expecting parents who suffer a loss a large as life is unparalleled. To hear a song written by a man, that quite LITERALLY brought voice to every single thought I had during our pregnancy - including the final seconds of the song makes me sob just as I did in that Emergency Room. I'll always be able to remember how I felt waiting for my daughter now. Thank you so much, Ed.

  42. T.... Z....

    I love you Braxton & Megan 💔

  43. C.... S....

    To our beloved Angel Pesigan 👼11/11/219. Mum and Dad miss you and Love you very much. Just like the song says we still dont know the reason why but i know God needs you in heaven. We will heal slowly and will never ever forget you. We love you my Baby Girl. We will meet again and you will welcome us in heaven❤❤❤

  44. B.... R....

    2019??💕

  45. s.... N....

    Beautiful Tribute... for my Angel baby....❤

  46. B.... S....

    Before I was born my dad would sing this to my mum and then I was born really early and they didn’t think I would make it then 11 years later here I am. Sorry for all of the miscarriages that have happened I would never with that on to someone I hope everyone gets what they deserve. Even though he was there for like 1/4 of my life and then disappeared and he is still gone I still love my dad to prices and no matter what you should try your hardest for your mum, dad, brother, sister, daughter, son etc just don’t worry xxxxx

  47. J.... R....

    A masterpiece. The song and the video is beautiful

  48. E.... T....

    This video and song is honestly so emotional, notice how the people in the video disappear before leaving frame, because that's how quickly they can be taken away.

  49. D.... R....

    I lost my first child 20 years ago at 10 weeks pregnant - the pain and loss never goes ,I'm just so grateful for my precious son born the next year. a beautiful song - thank you Ed

  50. E.... H....

    Tommorow would be my daughter's birthday. Lost her to a miscarriage in 2018. And ever since then I haven't been the same. RIP Ivey Marie Huskey. Daddy loves you forever and always. Keep flying high baby girl.

  51. H.... N....

    I lost my baby just 4 days ago! She was the love of my life and my heart aches for just one more day of my pregnancy back so i can feel her growing inside of me again. A misscarriage is a pain I've never experienced before and by far the saddest my heart has ever felt. I miss you my angel baby ❤

  52. E.... M....

    かっけぇ

  60. C.... L....

    Its coming up to 11 years on the 13th november since i miscarried my baby girl Lily, i buy flowers every year and let balloons off and still cry thinking what might have been, thinking of you all with Rainbow baby, love you Lily xxxxx xx

  61. L.... S....

    I just had a miscarriage at the beginning of the month and this song really helped me thru it thank you so much for writing this song its helped so much

  62. a.... j....

    Everyone is mentioning how it helped their miscarriages.
    For my mum it was her joy song for when she found out she was pregnant with my sister.

  63. M.... ....

    The sudden reveal right before the end of the song really nails the unique pain of losing an unborn child. You spend so much time dreaming of what they'll be like, look like, think like, and then in a second it can all fade away. As humans we're just not equipped to deal with that level of devastation.

  64. M.... ....

    My mother had numerous miscarriages before she had me, so this song has always held a lot of meaning for me. I grew up just thinking my parents were so good to me just because they were good people, which is true, but I found out when I was much older that I was the last time they were going to attempt to have a kid. So, by :making it" I became their miracle, and they were just happy to have a chance to finally be parents and appreciated every second with me.

  65. M.... B....

    i’m not pregnant, never bern pregnant, not planning to get pregnant any time, but thank you for your talent Ed

  66. H.... G....

    My sister in law miscarried at 6 months pregnant and were still unsure why. No warning no answers. Im now pregnant in the same year and Im happy but terrified. I pray for her and my brothers healing and comfort, I pray for me to give birth to a full-term- healthy baby.

  67. A.... M....

    I just found out a week ago that my fiancé is pregnant. We were so scared on what to do at first but we have decided to become parents, her family is incredibly supportive and I have been through so much over the last 6 years (now 23yo). I have the love of my life by my side and fingers crossed our baby reaches birth at full health... this song really motivates me to want to close the book on being a young man and become a father for my unborn child. This song speaks volumes to me even more then it used to, where it used to send a message of sadness for those who can't feel the joy I already feel, to now I feel joy from this song about my exciting future. May 2020 here we come.

  68. p.... f....

    Always running up to November I listen to this.. This was played at the funeral.. How has it been almost 2 years already it feels like 5 mins...

    Yea so I had an ex do music covers and he sent it to me 4yrs ago and this was one of them, but never bothered to look up the songs. Randomly today I heard this song playing and I came here to see if there was a video and read the full lyrics and wow that last part caught me off-guard. I got a little teary eye. Loosing someone will really scar that person. Prayers, blessings and wonderful wishes to all who have experienced this and are continuing on with their lives ❤️❤️

    A girl like me, who will never can have a baby, because we are of the chosen person..who have MRKH. Sometimes I feel its okay to be the one. Sometimes , I feel so devastated, disbelief in my fate.

    Salute to all parents around the worlds, who bring out children and raise them.

  79. K.... M....

    This song breaks my heart as I long to have a baby but unable to due to biological factors. Very touching.

    Just lost my nephew or niece. My sister in law was only 7 weeks pregnant but this didn’t make it any less real. This was not just a fetus. This was a baby. My baby nephew or niece. I’m devastated that I never got to met him/her and that they never got to experience the world. Time may go by, but I will never forget you. Aunt Allie loves you baby Poynor. 💙💖💙💖 Forever and Always 💖💙💖💙

    I had 4 miscarriages when this song was everywhere. It gives me goosebumps to this day. But I am blessed with the most perfect,beautiful,smart,and kind 5 year old daughter to hold whenever I hear it now.

    I'm 17 & recently miscarried twins at 16 weeks. It is a pain I never knew existed, knowing that you lost an extension of yourself. My boyfriend & I are completely heartbroken. We were only 2-4 weeks away from learning their sexes and already had possible names picked out. He even got a 2nd job so we could afford our little babies. RIP my little angels.
