[Verse 1]

How can you say this was all part of your plan?

Start explaining

Crafted from hope and hospital beds, she's gone

And honestly you

Fed a dose of comatose to what I love most

Death is not a game with the ones I hold close

She was mine, mine, you can't deny

Three years is too quick to die

[Chorus]

Take me instead

You only loved, I only consume

I'm worthless to the world

You're innocent and pure

God, why didn't you choose me over her?

[Verse 2]

Tell me she's listening as I search for signs

Of why I'm standing

Left with this hole that six feet of dirt can't fill

So why don't you just

Look me in the eyes? Say it straight to my face?

What type of man takes a girl from her place?

She was mine, mine, you can't deny

Three years is too quick to die

[Chorus]

Take me instead

You only loved, I only consume

I'm worthless to the world

You're innocent and pure

God, why didn't you choose me over her?

Take me instead

You only loved, I only consume

I'm worthless to the world

You're innocent and pure

God, why didn't you choose me over her?

[Bridge]

So answer me, how am I supposed to deal with this?

Why did she die when I'm the one deserving it?

And what the hell am I to tell my little sisters

To ease their tears when they tell me that they miss her?

And what about my mother and my father?

They lost a child and deep inside they wither

God, I'd do anything to ease the pain

That ripped through the chest of my brothers that day

She was mine, she was mine

What did we do to make you take her from our lives?

She was mine, she was mine

Oh God, oh what did we do?

[Chorus]

Take me instead

You only loved, I only consume

I'm worthless to the world

You're innocent and pure

God why didn't you choose me?

Take me instead, you only loved, I only consume

I'm worthless to the world

You're innocent and pure

God I question your judgment

[Outro]

You're innocent and pure

I'm worthless to the world

Tell me why you picked me over her?
