[Instrumental]

[Verse 1]

A cover, a stutter

My lover's sedated for 15 days

Your mother is weeping

I don’t know why they've just been sleeping

I comfort, the most that I can but

My body is weak and my mind is slipping

I get it, my friend

My partner for life is my love to the end and

[Bridge]

What should I do?

While I wait outside of the hospital praying God will come through?

[Chorus]

Only you

Could ever contain all my conscience

This red string confines me

Oh you

Are the flesh of my body

The red in my blood

Never-ending wires or the vials of the medicine

The monitor that rings all thе time

Only you

Could ever contain mе

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 2]

My hunger, my mother

Is worried sick cause I cannot eat

And I know it, don't show it

Maybe I’ll die, fall into your bedside

I'm trying as hard as I can but

Your wrist and mine are becoming the same size

I get it, friend

My lover, my baby, I'll find you again cause

[Bridge]

What can I do?

While I wait outside of the hospital praying God will come through?

[Chorus]

Only you

Could ever contain all my conscience

This red string confines me

Oh you

Are the flesh of my body, the red in my blood

Never-ending wires or the vials of the medicine

The monitor that rings all the time

Only you

Could ever contain me
