[Verse 1]
Dear God, I’m worn thin
Been carrying this whole thing
Some days I smile, then break
Right when the door shuts in
I made it through the storm
Still the rain lives in my chest
I learned how to survive
But I forgot what rest means
[Pre-Chorus]
If You hear me tonight
Keep me close in the dark
I been strong for so long
Now my hands need Your heart
[Chorus]
Why my life so hard?
Why my life so hard? (so hard)
I’m still standing here
But my soul feels scarred
When will I be loved?
When will I be loved? (be loved)
I’m tired of lonely nights
I need somebody, Lord
[Verse 2]
I watch couples on the train
Hands locked like they were made
And I sit with my phone
Like it might call my name
I gave my best to people
Who could only take and go
Now I count the empty beds
Like they count the hours slow
[Pre-Chorus]
If You hear me tonight
Keep me close in the dark
I been strong for so long
Now my hands need Your heart
[Chorus]
Why my life so hard?
Why my life so hard? (so hard)
I’m still standing here
But my soul feels scarred
When will I be loved?
When will I be loved? (be loved)
I’m tired of lonely nights
I need somebody, Lord
[Bridge]
Still, I survived the fire
Still, I got back up
So I know there’s a reason
For this aching cup
Maybe love is coming
Maybe it’s on the way
Till then, hold my heart
Don’t let me drift away
[Final Chorus]
Why my life so hard?
Why my life so hard? (so hard)
I’m still standing here
But my soul feels scarred
When will I be loved?
When will I be loved? (be loved)
I’m tired of lonely nights
I need somebody, Lord
Why my life so hard?
I’m asking You tonight
When will I be loved?
Make me feel alright
