Just one good thing

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?
