I’ve been counting nights by the cracks in the ceiling
Praying through tears I don’t know how to heal in
We did everything right, we believed, we stayed strong
So tell me how the world still got it so wrong
I held hope like it was fragile glass
Afraid to breathe in case it shattered fast
Everyone says, “Time will explain,”
But time just keeps handing me more pain
Pre-Chorus
I talk to God but the room stays quiet
I scream inside but I try not to fight it
I don’t need answers carved in stone
I just don’t want to feel so alone
Chorus
So tell me why this happened to us
What did we do to deserve this much
We begged for mercy, we begged for light
Why does love always come with a fight
Can we just have one good thing stay
One moment that doesn’t get taken away
I’m not asking for perfect or new
Just something good… something true
Verse 2
I see reminders in empty rooms
Dreams that ended way too soon
They say heaven needed you more
But I needed you here, I needed you sure
I smile for people, I play my part
But grief keeps clawing at my heart
If faith is real, why does it hurt
Why does hope feel like salt in the dirt
Pre-Chorus
I still believe, even when I’m breaking
Still reach out, even when I’m shaking
But belief feels heavy tonight
Like holding stars that burned too bright
Chorus
So tell me why this happened to us
Why love feels sharp when it should be soft
We carried faith, we carried trust
Now I’m carrying ashes and dust
Can we just have one good thing stay
One prayer answered the right damn way
I’m not asking for a miracle too
Just something good… something true
Bridge
If you’re listening, don’t turn away
I’m tired of being strong every day
I don’t need the pain to mean something grand
I just want peace in these trembling hands
Let me rest, let me breathe
Let me stop begging just to believe
Final Chorus
So if there’s a reason hidden from view
If love survives what we’re going through
Hold my heart when I start to break
Please don’t let this all be for nothing’s sake
Can we just have one good thing stay
One small light that doesn’t fade
I’ll keep going… I swear I’ll try
But tonight I just need to ask why
Outro
Why us…
Why now…
And when, God…
When do we get our one good thing?
