Album version
[Verse 1]

The air begins to feel a little thin

As I start the car and then I begin

To add the miles piled up behind me

I barely feel a smile deep inside me


[Verse 2]

And I begin to envy the headlights driving south

I wanna crack the door so I can just fall out

But then I remember when you packed my car

You reached in the back and buckled up your heart

For me to drive away with

I began to understand why God died


[Verse 3]

The demon sat there waiting on her porch

It was a little dark, so he held a makeshift torch

And when my car was far out of sight

He crept in her room and stayed there for the night


[Bridge]

And then I felt chills in my bones

The breath I saw was not my own

I knew my skin that wrapped my frame

Wasn't made to play this game

And then I saw him, torch in hand

He laid it out, what he had planned

And then I said, "I'll take the grave

Please, just send them all my way"

Then I felt chills in my bones

The breath I saw was not my own

I knew my skin that wrapped my frame

Wasn't made to play this game

And then I saw him, torch in hand

He laid it out, what he had planned

And then I said, "I'll take the grave

Please, just send them all my way"


[Refrain]

I began to understand why God died


[Verse 4]

The air begins to feel a little thin

As we're waiting for the morning to begin

But for now, you told me to hold this jar

And when I looked inside, I saw it held your heart


[Refrain]

For me to walk away with

I began to understand why God died
