[Intro – sparse piano, room tone, shaky breath]
[whispered, breaking]
I finally found him…
And You took him.
⸻
[Verse 1 – fragile, trembling]
[soft, cracking]
We met like it wasn’t supposed to last,
Like love didn’t know the rules yet.
Every laugh felt borrowed time,
But I didn’t know that then.
[aching]
He learned my scars without flinching,
Held my hand like it was safe.
I spent my whole life looking for him,
And then You set the date.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – confusion turning to anger]
[low, shaking]
You watched me find the one thing
That made me believe again.
⸻
[Chorus – crying while singing, raw]
[breaking, emotional]
Why would You give me forever
If You were gonna take him so soon?
Why let me feel this kind of love
Just to bury it with him too?
[pleading, angry]
I prayed, I begged, I stayed up late,
I did everything I knew.
You could’ve taken anything else from me…
Why did it have to be him?
⸻
[Post-Chorus – piano drops out, sobbing breath audible]
⸻
[Verse 2 – grief setting in]
[hollow, exhausted]
His clothes still smell like yesterday,
His side of the bed still warm.
I keep reaching for his phone at night,
Like death might be a mistake You’ll undo by morning.
[quiet despair]
They say he’s “in a better place,”
But I don’t know where that leaves me.
If heaven needed him so bad,
Why am I the one left empty?
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – bitterness]
[restrained anger]
You knew how hard it was for me to trust,
You knew what this would do.
⸻
[Chorus – second hit, harsher]
[crying, voice breaking]
I loved him out loud, I loved him right,
I didn’t hide, I didn’t run.
I finally stopped being afraid of love,
And You took the only one.
[angry, shaking]
Don’t tell me this was part of a plan,
Don’t tell me he’s “at peace.”
If this is what faith looks like now,
Then tell me how I’m supposed to breathe.
⸻
[Bridge – direct confrontation with God]
[near-scream, breaking down]
If You’re real, then hear me now—
This hurts more than You let on.
You could’ve taught me strength another way,
Instead You taught me how to live alone.
⸻
[Final Chorus – devastation, surrender]
[hoarse, collapsing]
I talk to You like he can hear,
Like maybe You’ll feel bad and give him back.
I don’t want heaven if he’s not here,
I don’t want faith if it comes like that.
[soft sobbing, defeated]
I found my person, I found my home,
I found the love I was praying for.
And now I’m on my knees asking You
What You needed him for.
⸻
[Outro – piano fades, breath remains]
[whisper, crying]
Please…
Just tell me why.
(music fades into silence)
