tell me why

Verse 1

I scream your name in my broken sleep
Talk to the sky like it answers me back
They say that there’s a plan, say it’s all divine
But I was there when you ran out of time

Pre-Chorus

I’ve been trying to hold my faith
Tried to hold upright
But my hands are shaking in the dead of night

Chorus

I don’t have a reason to be angry at God
But I won’t say 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
Then tell me why you’re not here with me
you’re not here with me

Verse 

Your voice still echoes in the rooms
Your laugh still breaks me too
They say that you are safe, they say you’re home
But I’m the one standing here alone

Pre-Chorus

If this is mercy, if this is grace
Why does it feel like a punch in the face
If this is mercy, if this is grace
Why did you leave me here to stay

Chorus

I don’t have a reason to be angry at God
But I won’t say I agree
You’re not here, you’re gone too far
And I’m still here, still breathing

Bridge

If heaven needed you more than I did
Why does it feel like I’m the one paying it
But 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 won’t say 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’s 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
not here with me
Then tell me why you’re not here with me
