[Verse 1] Tech pushed the door into the white-lit room Monitors blinked hard by the edge of the gloom Scripps lay so still with the line in her arm IV in place holding on with alarm Anxiety saw her and turned right around Ran from the bed to the hall and the sound Tech froze in the frame couldn’t even breathe Just stared at the floor where his knees turned weak [Pre-Chorus] That thin little beep kept cutting the air One look at her face and he knew she was scared The tubes, the tape the cold metal rail Everything hit him all at once, all at once [Chorus] Don’t leave this room don’t leave this room (don’t leave this room) Hold on, hold on in the ICU room Don’t leave this room don’t leave this room Scripps, stay here stay here with us [Verse 2] Tech watched the floor like it held all the blame His hands stayed still but his chest felt the same A nurse passed by with a clipboard and light Soft shoes on the tile moving through the night Anxiety outside with her back to the glass Wanted to come in but the fear moved fast Scripps on support and the IV so clear Every tiny breath felt too close, too near [Pre-Chorus] That thin little beep kept cutting the air One look at her face and he knew she was scared The tubes, the tape the cold metal rail Everything hit him all at once, all at once [Chorus] Don’t leave this room don’t leave this room (don’t leave this room) Hold on, hold on in the ICU room Don’t leave this room don’t leave this room Scripps, stay here stay here with us [Bridge] Then Tech took one step to the side of the bed Looked up at her face and the words he left unsaid If you can hear me just squeeze my hand I’m right here now I won’t let go if I can [Final Chorus] Don’t leave this room don’t leave this room (don’t leave this room) Hold on, hold on in the ICU room Don’t leave this room don’t leave this room Scripps, stay here stay here with us Don’t leave this room don’t leave this room (don’t leave this room) Hold on, hold on right here with us
