Why Does God Hate Me

Verse 1

Mama's picture on a plywood shelf

The only thing the fire didn't take

I count the names carved in my phone

Three numbers that won't ever wake

They say a man builds a house on hope

I built mine on a fault line

Every blessing came with a bill

Every good thing came with a deadline

Pre-Chorus

So I keep my hands down at my sides

Keep my distance from the kind

Cause the ones I hold the closest

Are the ones I leave behind

Chorus

Why does God hate me so much

Why does he take away everything I touch

Why does God hate me so much

I ain't asking for a lot just a little less of this

(Why does God hate me so much)

Just a little less of this

(Why does God hate me so much)

Verse 2

Born beneath a bad sign some folks say

I was cursed before my first breath

Now the bank wants the trailer back

And the county wants the rest

I'm afraid to love I'm afraid to stay

Afraid to answer when she calls

Cause everybody near me

Ends up under flowers on a wall

Pre-Chorus

So I keep my hands down at my sides

Keep my distance from the kind

Cause the ones I hold the closest

Are the ones I leave behind

Chorus

Why does God hate me so much

Why does he take away everything I touch

Why does God hate me so much

I ain't asking for a lot just a little less of this

(Why does God hate me so much)

Just a little less of this

(Why does God hate me so much)

Bridge

I still pray I still kneel I still bargain

With a ceiling that don't answer back

Maybe mercy is a thing for other people

Maybe grace just skipped my track

Chorus

Why does God hate me so much

Why does he take away everything I touch

Why does God hate me so much

I ain't asking for a lot just a little less of this

(Why does God hate me so much)

Just a little less of this

(Why does God hate me so much)
