ICU

[Verse 1] Hospital humming, blue light on the linoleum You flatlined my name but your ghost keeps coming through Coffee gone cold in a Styrofoam crown, I’m queen Of the people who pace and pretend they don’t dream You said “I’m sorry” like a sedative drip Slow, diluted, meant to make the needle slip I kept your hoodie — it smells like the night you lied Like nicotine, gasoline, and goodbye [Pre-Chorus] And I’m counting ceiling tiles, 1 to 204 All the ways you said “forever” before you walked out the door I don’t want your flowers, I want the truth with the thorns Say it plain, say it bleeding, say it ‘til you’re worn [Chorus] I see you — I-C-U In the dark, in the spark, in the things we can’t undo You’re the fever I can’t break through I’m the heartbeat that you ran from too I see you — I-C-U Say my name like a b.p.m. of 2 You left me on read in the I.C.U. But baby, I still — I-C-U, I-C-U [Verse 2] Eyeliner running like the rain on my car Radio static sings where your promises are I play Video Games in my head ‘til I lose Should’ve, would’ve, could’ve lit the fuse London Street looks different when you’re the ghost I’m the house that you left, but you still keep the most Of me in your teeth when you smile at someone new Hope she knows you give love with an I.V. too [Pre-Chorus] And I’m counting all the pills that I didn’t take All the calls to God I made for your sake I don’t want your mercy, I want the scar that stays Say my name like a crash cart on Judgment Day [Chorus] I see you — I-C-U In the dark, in the spark, in the things we can’t undo You’re the fever I can’t break through I’m the heartbeat that you ran from too I see you — I-C-U Say my name like a b.p.m. of 2 You left me on read in the I.C.U. But baby, I still — I-C-U, I-C-U [Bridge] Don’t you make me wanna die Just to see if you’d reply Don’t you dress me in your alibis I’m done being your good goodbye So pull the plug, or hold me tight I’m tired of living in the afterlife Of us, of us — [Final Chorus] I see you — I-C-U In the dark, in the spark, in the things we can’t undo You’re the fever I can’t break through I’m the heartbeat that you ran from too I see you — I-C-U Say my name like a b.p.m. of 2 You left me on read in the I.C.U. But baby, I still — I-C-U, I-C-U I-C-U… I still see you… Say my name like a b.p.m. of 2… I-C-U. [Outro] I see you.
