Hospital lights don’t sleep

Lyrics

(Verse 1) Hospital lights don’t ever dim They hum like they remember him— The way you laughed before the pain Before your voice went thin again I held your hand, it felt so cold But you still smiled like you were whole Said, “Don’t you cry, I’ll be okay” But we both knew you couldn’t stay (Pre-Chorus) And every second slipping through Felt like something I couldn’t undo (Chorus) So I scream into the silence But it never screams back And I’d trade every tomorrow Just to have what we had You were fading in the daylight While I begged for the night Hoping somehow time would freeze Before you slipped away from me (Verse 2) Machines were singing out of tune A broken, endless, hollow gloom I watched the numbers slowly fall Like I was watching through a wall Your pictures taped beside your bed A life still louder than what’s left I tried to be your strength that day But I was breaking anyway (Pre-Chorus) And every word you tried to say Still echoes but it fades away (Chorus) So I scream into the silence But it never screams back And I’d trade every tomorrow Just to have what we had You were fading in the daylight While I begged for the night Hoping somehow time would freeze Before you slipped away from me (Bridge) If there’s a place where you still are Do you see me from that far? Do you hear me when I break? Or did heaven take it all away? I still call your phone sometimes Just to hear what’s left behind A voice that tells me after the tone I’m still here—but I’m alone (Outro) Hospital lights still never sleep But now it’s only haunting me And every night I close my eyes You’re there—then gone by morning light
