In poignant lyrics, Machine Gun Kelly raps, “How can I live with the fact that my hand wasn’t on her stomach when we lost the baby?”
Megan previously disclosed the miscarriage in her poetry book, Pretty Boys Are Poisonous, where she shared intimate reflections on the pain of losing their unborn child.
