"I.C.U. (Madison's Lullabye)" lyrics

"I.C.U. (Madison's Lullabye)"

I didn't want those innocent eyes
To watch me fall from grace
Tried to protect you
I want to direct you
To keep you from my mistakes

Yeah, I want to be the one
You look up to when you wanna run
I want you to see my face
Whenever you're feeling out of place
You can pick up the phone
If you're ever feeling scared and alone
I'll be the one to

Tuck your hair behind your ear
Until you fall asleep
I'll say a prayer and keep you near
You're always here with me

I promise, I'll be there
Don't worry
'Cause I was blind but now I see
Clearly, I see you

Sometimes, I can see myself in the little things you do
But I'm not afraid that you'll lose your way
'Cause I believe in you

You're gonna be the one
Who's strong enough, who can overcome
Anything in your way
I look to you and you give me strength
Always my baby girl
Already know you're gonna change the world
And I will still be there to

Tuck your hair behind your ear
Until you fall asleep
I'll say a prayer and keep you near
You're always there with me

I promise, I'll be there
Don't worry
'Cause I was blind but now I see
Clearly, I see you

I see you I see you

I love you, Demi I love you, too

According to Demi Lovato, "I.C.U." stands for both "I see you" and "intensive-care unit", one she woke up in after her near-fatal overdose in 2018. She couldn't see at the moment and didn't recognize her half-sister Madison. Demi told Apple Music, "Madison is my baby sister. When I woke up in the hospital after my overdose, I was legally blind and couldn't see. So when she came to my bedside I actually asked her, 'Who is standing there? Who are you?' It was a really emotional moment for everyone who was there. I was able to take that situation, write a beautiful song out of it, and also be able to express to my little sister how much she means to me and how clearly I do see her on a daily basis." It's Madison who says the line "I love you, Demi" at the end on the song.
