You’re not here

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 said it’s divine
But I held your hand when you ran out of time

Pre-Chorus

I fold my hands like I was taught
But they won’t stay still
The words fall apart before I finish them

Chorus

I don’t have a reason to be angry at God
But I won’t say I agree
You’re in a frame on the mantle, I’m still here
Still breathing, still awake
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 2

Your coffee mug’s still by the sink
Your laugh 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, if this is grace
Why did you leave me behind in this place

Chorus

I don’t have a reason to be angry at God
But I won’t say I agree
You’re in a frame on the mantle, I’m still here
Still breathing, still awake
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

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 won’t say I agree
You’re in a frame on the mantle, I’m still here
Still breathing, still awake
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
I don’t know who else to blame
You’re not here with me
Not here with me
