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,
Im 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 dont agree...
That you’re in a frame
on the mantle, and i am still
I don’t curse heaven, and I don’t
curse my fate
But I hate the silence
that you left in this place
If love is the answer
That 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
Verse 2
Your coffee mug
Is still by the sink
Your laugh is 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 dont agree...
That you’re in a frame
on the mantle, and i am still
I don’t curse heaven, and I don’t
curse my fate
But I hate the silence
that you left in this place
If love is the answer
That 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
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
to be angry at God
But I dont agree...
That you’re in a frame
on the mantle, and i am still
I don’t curse heaven, and I don’t
curse my fate
But I hate the silence
that you left in this place
If love is the answer
That 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
Outro
If love is the answer
they’re preaching to me
(tell me why)
you’re not here with me
