Why Can't She

God, I've fallen

And I pray you're listening

'Cause I can't stop it

Like a weight around my soul

This heavy conscience

Is pulling me down

I'm learning

That when you bend the truth at all

It ends up broken

So I'm asking you for more than just redemption

Please hear me now

God, tonight I'm calling out

Just a prayer ain't saving me

Can't undo the wrong I've done

But I know that you can see

That my heart's full of regret

That's why I'm down here on my knees

So if you can forgive me

Why can't she?

I got careless

Let her hand slip out of mine into someone else's

Asking her to come back now just seems so selfish

But I'm asking anyway

It might be helpless

Maybe this mistake is a taste of what hell is

Make her believe there's good in me through all this wreckage

Before it's too late

God, tonight I'm calling out

Just a prayer ain't saving me

I can't undo the wrong I've done

But I know that you can see

My heart's full of regret

That's why I'm down here on my knees

So if you can forgive me

Why can't she?

Oh, why can't she?

Yeah

If there's anyone she'll listen to, it's you

So tonight I'm calling out

Just a prayer ain't saving me

I can't undo the wrong I've done

But I know that you can see

My heart's full of regret

That's why I'm down here on my knees

So if you can forgive me

Lord, if you can forgive me

Why can't she?

Oh, why can't she?
