[Verse 1] White walls, pale gown Paper cup, bent straw I came in holding my side You could see it in my jaw They rolled me past the doors Cold rails, clipped name My stomach locked up hard Like it snapped a metal chain [Pre-Chorus] Doc said, “Breathe through it” But it cut so deep Every little turn I made Woke the ache in me [Chorus] Gall stones, gall stones Stuck in my night Gall stones, gall stones Stealing my life Hold my hand close Tell me I’ll be okay Gall stones, gall stones Get me through today (gall stones) [Verse 2] The cup of ice beside me Melts in slow, clear tears I count the ceiling squares To keep away the fear Your message on my phone “Still here, don’t be strong” I laugh and then I wince 'Cause this hurt lasts too long [Pre-Chorus] Nurse came soft-footed Changed the line again I tried to act tough But my whole body said [Chorus] Gall stones, gall stones Stuck in my night Gall stones, gall stones Stealing my life Hold my hand close Tell me I’ll be okay Gall stones, gall stones Get me through today (gall stones) [Bridge] If they take the bad part out Let the pain fall through I’ll learn my way back One slow breath at a time with you No brave smile needed No big speech to make Just let this storm pass Let my body shake [Final Chorus] Gall stones, gall stones Stuck in my night Gall stones, gall stones Still I’m alive Hold my hand close Tell me I’ll be okay Gall stones, gall stones Get me through today (gall stones)
