[Verse 1]
Drivin' home at 8:05
I sit in silence, not a song could help me through this
Tears fall at 8:09
I gave You all my faith, just to lose everything
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don't get it
[Chorus]
I've been singing so loud with my hands high
But I'm dyin' inside
Why, why, why? (Ooh)
And every single night, I've been sobbin' on the bathroom floor
And You are silent
Why, why, why? (Ooh)
How much can a heart take without knowin' why?
Why, why?
[Verse 2]
I trusted You in that hospital room
But at the final breath, You cut the last breath
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don't get it
[Chorus]
I've been singing so loud with my hands high
But I'm dyin' inside
Why, why, why? (Ooh)
And every single night, I've been sobbin' on the bathroom floor
And You are silent
Why, why, why? (Ooh)
How much can a heart take without knowin' why?
[Bridge]
Why are all my friends deprŠµssed?
And why's the church ignorin' them?
Why'd my gŠµneration grow up just to spend a lifetime healin'?
Why is there disease and illness?
Why is my dad in the grave?
Why did I receive a call from a little girl dying of AIDS?
Why do You even allow this? What did she ever do to you?
How can You just sit in silence? But who am I to question You?
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don't get it
Oh, I'm broken
Jesus, I trust You are in this
[Chorus]
I've been singing so loud with my hands high
But I'm dyin' inside
Why, why, why? (Ooh)
And every single night, I've been sobbin' on the bathroom floor
And You are silent
Why, why, why? (Ooh)
How much can a heart take without knowin' why?
[Outro]
(Why are all my friends depressed?)
(And why's the church ignorin' them?)
Why, why, why?
(Why'd my generation grow up just to spend a lifetime healin'?)
Why, why, why, oh? (Ooh)
(Why is there disease and illness?)
(Why is my dad in the grave?)
Why, why, why? (Ooh)
(Why did I receive a call from a little girl dying of AIDS?)
Why, why?
