lyrics

when my great-grandmother died
I sang a song at the service while everyone cried
and since then, God knows I tried, God knows I tried to believe in Him
in the grocery store or at the gym

I’ve prayed in empty restaurants and in empty hotels
I went down on my knees to go up stairwells
I still see millions buying it but I can’t reach the one who sells

when I realized that adults lied
that was the end of me caring, I started stealing and swearing (« fuck! »)
regardless, God knows I tried, God knows I tried to believe in God
listening to the Bible on my iPod

I’ve prayed in empty buses and in empty bars
for Him to heal the wounds and remove the scars
but the only sound I heard in answer was the sound of passing cars

when my next friend or relative dies
I just won’t sing no song, it would feel so wrong
oh God, why do we try so hard to believe
in you when we grieve, it’s true…
