you’re not here with me

Verse

I scream your name in the broken night,

Talk to the sky, but it gives no light.

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

But I was there when you ran out of time.

Your memory lingers in every room,

Your laugh still echoes, cuts through the gloom.

They say you’re safe, that you’re finally home,

But I am the one standing here alone.

Pre-Chorus

I’ve been trying to hold my faith,

Trying to stand upright,

But my hands keep shaking in the dead of night.

Chorus

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

But I can’t say that 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.

Tell me why you’re not here with me

Verse

The world keeps turning, but I stand still,

Every corner a shadow, every breath a chill.

Your voice lingers, a ghost in the night,

I reach for you, but you’re out of sight.

If this is mercy, if this is grace,

Why does it feel like a punch in the face?

Why did you leave me here to stay,

Alone with the night, alone with the pain?

Pre-Chorus

I’ve been trying to hold my faith,

Trying to stand upright,

But my hands keep shaking in the dead of night.

Chorus

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

But I can’t say that 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.

Tell me why you’re not here with me.

Bridge

If heaven needed you more than I did,

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

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 can’t say that 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.

Tell me why you’re not here with me.

You’re not here with me…
