Icu

You've been hurting in a million ways No one else can see 'Cause no one took 'em serious 'Til the injuries So you took it out of God's hands and into yours And threw up the prescription on the bathroom floor You didn't wanna hurt no more I see you Crying in a gown that's blue Screaming through a breathing tube "How'd I get to this place?" I see you Wonderin' how you came unglued Feelin' like your whole life's screwed "Who could love me this way?" You couldn't hear a single word they said in that padded room When every day all of your darkest thoughts kept on comin' true Lyin' in the ICU You've been carving maps into your skin To make the sickness show A kind of suffering that's never fit A diagnostic code So you pictured all the faces when they'd hear the news Thought your body in a bag would be enough to prove That this was real, and not some sad excuse I see you Crying in a gown that's blue Screaming through a breathing tube "How'd I get to this place?" I see you Wonderin' how you came unglued Feelin' like your whole life's screwed "Who could love me this way?" You couldn't hear a single word they said in that padded room (Hey, kid, are you okay?) When every day all of your darkest thoughts kept on comin' true I see you trying not to cry Just wishin' you had not survived But don't give up, give it a little time Someday you'll see that you were worth this fight I see you wide awake all night A million prayers, not even one reply But don't give up, 'cause there's another side And you still have a lot of songs to write I see you Crying in a gown that's blue Screaming through a breathing tube "How'd I get to this place?" I see you Wonderin' how you came unglued Feelin' like your whole life's screwed "Who could love me this way?" You couldn't hear a single word they said in that padded room When every day all of your darkest thoughts kept on comin' true Lyin' in the ICU
