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
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
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 that I'll always love

I convinced myself that you were going home
That there's a reason behind everything that we don't know
