Left all my bags at the gates
I held your hand as you tried to escape
You were weak from the nights that you spent
Fighting your way out of hospital beds
I tried so hard to carry you
Fighting through every part of it all of the pain
But I was weak from the nights that I spent
Laying awake in those hospital beds
Oh, oh, you were the chaos they couldn't control
While they took down your name
I was pleading with them to go slow
I played you that song that you love
I let you down, I'd forgotten the words
I watched as you still tried to dance
But it's hard when the wires pour out of your chest
Made cathedrals with old cotton sheets
We held on to belief like it's all we had left
Saw you smiled as you still tried to laugh
But it's hard when the wires pour out of your chest
Oh, oh, you were the chaos they couldn't control
Woah, you were the chaos they couldn't control
While they took down your name
I was pleading with them to go slow
Oh, and I still remember the sky falling down
The way that the world seemed to not make a sound
Woah, you were the chaos they couldn't control
♪
I convinced myself that you were going home
That there's a reason behind everything we don't know
