[Verse 1]

I went into church and they said "pray"

They said God has a plan that's bigger than the things you can't explain

And so I cried and then I prayed

And that didn't bring you back or take the pain away

[Chorus]

They say everything happens for a reason

So can someone figure it out?

I don't know why this happened

All I know is that I'm here and you're not around

And I'm just hurting

Can you tell me what that's about?

If everything happens for a reason

Can you show me a reason how?

[Verse 2]

Will it be a year? Will it be twenty-five?

Will I even ever get to know the answer while I'm alive?

It's the worst feeling, having to say goodbye

And then spend every minute not knowing why

[Chorus]

Everything happens for a reason

So can someone figure it out?

I don't know why this happened

All I know is that I'm here and you're not around

And I'm just hurting

Can you tell me what that's about?

If everything happens for a reason

Can you show me a reason how?

[Outro]

It doesn't make sense

Why are you gone?

It doesn't make sense

It doesn't make sense

It doesn't make sense

Why are you gone?

It doesn't make sense

It doesn't make sense

It doesn't make sense

Why are you gone?

It doesn't make sense

It doesn't make sense
