Fifty Names

Verse

Mama went first. I was seventeen

Her hands got cold while the preacher read

Daddy drank himself into the dirt

Then my brother caught a bullet in the neck

Pre-Chorus

They say the good Lord has a plan

Well I been waiting on the mail

Chorus

Why does God hate me so much

Why does He take away anyone I touch

Every name I ever loved is on a stone

Why does God hate me so much

Post-Chorus

(So much, so much)

Nobody left to call, nobody left to hold

(So much, so much)

Verse 2

My wife packed the truck in the rain

Took the dog. Took my last clean shirt

My best friend owed me and ran

Sold my tools for a bag of pills

Pre-Chorus

I ain't asking for a miracle

I'm just asking what I did

Chorus

Why does God hate me so much

Why does He take away anyone I touch

Every name I ever loved is on a stone

Why does God hate me so much

Post-Chorus

(So much, so much)

Nobody left to call, nobody left to hold

(So much, so much)

Bridge

I scroll through the contacts

Fifty names. Not one rings

I scroll through the contacts

And I'm dead. I'm just a machine that breathes

Chorus

Why does God hate me so much

Why does He take, take, take everyone I touch

Every name I ever loved is on a stone

Why does God hate me so much

Post-Chorus

(So much, so much)

Nobody left to call, nobody left to hold

(So much, so much)

(So much, so much)
