tell me why

Verse 1

I scream your name in my broken sleep

Talk to the sky like it answers me back

They say that there’s a plan, say it’s all divine

But I was there when you ran out of time

Pre-Chorus

I’ve been trying to hold my faith

Tried to hold upright

But my hands are shaking in the dead of night

Chorus

I don’t have a reason to be angry at God

But I won’t say I agree

You’re not here, you’re gone too far

And I’m still here, still breathing

I don’t curse heaven, I don’t curse my fate

But I hate the silence you left in this place

If love is the answer they’re preaching to me

Then tell me why you’re not here with me

Then tell me why you’re not here with me

you’re not here with me

Verse

Your voice still echoes in the rooms

Your laugh still breaks me too

They say that you are safe, they say you’re home

But I’m the one standing here alone

Pre-Chorus

If this is mercy, if this is grace

Why does it feel like a punch in the face

If this is mercy, if this is grace

Why did you leave me here to stay

Chorus

I don’t have a reason to be angry at God

But I won’t say I agree

You’re not here, you’re gone too far

And I’m still here, still breathing

Bridge

If heaven needed you more than I did

Why does it feel like I’m the one paying it

But I won’t stop praying, I won’t let go

But I’ll never understand this road

Final Chorus

I don’t have a reason to be angry at God

But I won’t say I agree

You’re not here, you’re gone too far

And I’m still here, still breathing

I don’t curse heaven, I don’t curse my fate

But I hate the silence you left in this place

If love’s the answer they’re preaching to me

Then tell me why you’re not here with me

Then tell me why you’re not here with me

you’re not here with me

not here with me

Then tell me why you’re not here with me
