Hospital Lyrics

My mind's a hospital waiting room

And I know I can't be shown to you

Trying to accept uncertainty

You were once so sure of me

But I'll try my best to carry on

I'll pour my hurt in a stable song

And try to make the most of what went wrong

I'll build a damn for every flood

I'll work to make the most of

Everything that's lost but not quite gone

Didn't want bittersweet confusion in a song

I started thinking people change

As fast as snow turned to rain

This morning when I turned a year older

I didn't feel like myself

I don't know who I am to tell

The world that it's steady on my shoulders

Cause I know it's not

But I'll try my best to sleep a while

I know I am my mother's child

We need to make the sense in what went wrong

I'll build a damn for every flood

I'll work to make the most of

Everything that's lost but not quite gone

Didn't want bittersweet confusion in a song

In a dream I saw us driving way too fast

You couldn't take your foot off the gas

Couldn't prevent when we crashed

And an ambulance led you to a hospital bed

The doctors cut open your chest

Saying there's no hope left, they fear

And, "I'm sorry, but ma'am, you just can't be here"

My mind's a hospital waiting room

And there's nothing I can do for you

Nothing I can try to fix

If we're just like Buckingham and Nicks

And there's nothing I could try to write

To put a happy end in sight

But there's nothing I have left to lose

Writing another song for you, no

But I'll try my best to carry on

I'll pour my hurt in a stable song

And try to make the most of what went wrong

I'll build a damn for every flood

I'll work to make the most of

Everything that's lost but not quite gone

Didn't want bittersweet confusion in a song
