Verse 1 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, you were the chaos they couldn't control While they took down your name I was pleading with them to go slow Verse 2 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 its 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, you were the chaos they couldn't control Oh, 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 Oh, you were the chaos they couldn't control Bridge I convinced myself that you were going home That there's a reason behind everything that we don't know I convinced myself that you were going home That there's a reason behind everything that we don't know Oh, 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 Oh, you were the chaos they couldn't control Couldn't control
