Ethel Cain
Hospital Beds II
I’m becoming a part
Of this hospital bed
As I lose my part of you

I’m a violent wreck
Of salvation and loss
Tell me what am I to do

God as my witness
I’ll put you in the ground
And I’ll cry til I ache
But no sound will come out
I have never loved like you
And never will I again
You would say to be strong
But love I don’t think I can

I’ve been broken before
But this time I’ve lost my life
Cause every time I held yours
You made me wanna keep mine

So I’m coming
Oh, I’m coming
I’m on my way now
I swear to god I’m coming
So will you wait for me
Please just wait for me
I am coming
I swear that I’m coming

I laid there with you
In that hospital bed
With my arms around your body
As the bullet hole bled
I cried and cried for days
But I couldn’t let go
I knew that you were rotting
Cause your hands had gone cold
