God, tell me what you're trying to prove
What else can I lose?
Can't you just give me a clue?
And tell me how you choose
Who gets to stay, who has to go
I'll find my way, then I don't know
If everything they say is true
Then why do you take the ones you do?
I'll try to pray, I'll try to grow
I'll find my way, then I don't know
They say it's fate, I say too soon
God, why do you take the ones you do?
I'll say that I got better
Still feel her on my sweater
Still hear him in the weather
Oh, tell me why'd they have to go
I'll say that I got stronger
Mornings turn to mourner
Still the nights are getting longer
Oh, tell me, God, I have to know
Who gets to stay, who has to go
I'll find my way, then I don't know
If everything they say is true
Then why do you take the ones you do?
I'll try to pray, I'll try to grow
I'll find my way, then I don't know
They say it's fate, I say too soon
God, why do you take the ones you do?
