Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 I scream your name Across the empty hall Your jacket’s still draped On the stairwell wall They said there’s a plan, They say it’s divine But I held your hand When you ran out of time Pre-Chorus I folded my hands Like how I was taught But they won’t stay still, I’m breaking apart If this is mercy If this is grace Why did you go away Chorus I don’t have a reason To be angry at God But I will never agree That you’re a frame on the mantle And not here with me I don’t curse heaven And I’m not cursing fate But I hate this silence You left in this place Post-Chorus Oh — if love is the answer They’re preaching to me Tell me why Tell me why You’re not here with me Verse 2 Your coffee mug Is still by the sink Your laugh still echoes Through everything They say you’re safe That you’re finally home But I’m standing here In this quiet alone Pre-Chorus If this is mercy If this is grace Why does it feel like A bruise I can’t erase If this is mercy Oh if this is grace Why did you leave me Here in this place Chorus I don’t have a reason To be angry at God But I will never agree That you’re a frame on the mantle And not here with me I don’t curse heaven And I’m not cursing fate But I hate this silence You left in this place (And you left me here to stay) Bridge Don’t tell me heaven needed another choir You had eternity before I only had a lifetime I fold my hands I say the prayers But every word feels like a crime Final Chorus I don’t have a reason I’m not angry at God But I don’t agree That you’re in a frame on the mantle And I am still here I don’t curse heaven And I’m not cursing fate But I hate this silence That you left in this place Oh — if love is the answer They’re preaching to me Tell me why Tell me why You’re not here with me (Please tell me) (Tell me why) Outro If love is the answer They’re preaching to me (Tell me why) You’re not here with me
