[Verse 1]
If I evFer get to Heaven, gonna walk up to his desk and sCay
"GBbot a couple questions Wonder whether you can answer Fme
You put everFything together Yeah, you made me just the way I Cam
If you're a loBbver that can tell me, then please help me undeFrstand"
[Chorus]
Why you put goFod into my heCart
Then tease me with eBbvil since the day I was boFrn?
Guilty and conFfused, I ripped myself aCpart
When you always kBbnew I'd be a civil wFar
That I'd be a civil wFar, mmCmmm, that I'd be a civil wBbar, mmFmmm
What'd you make me that way fFor, mmCmmm, That I'd be a civil wBbar, mmFmmmm
[Verse 2]
Now I've been livFing with my demons They've been eating at me every dCay
I like chBbains 'round my neck Most nights get the best of Fme
And I'm ashFamed, I'm amazed, I'm afraid of the wicked I nCeed
And I'm sBbure there's silver lining, and I'm trying, but I cannot sFee
[Chorus]
Why you would put goFod into my heCart
Then tease me with eBbvil since the day I was boFrn?
Guilty and conFfused, I ripped myself aCpart
When you always kBbnew I'd be a civil wFar
That I'd be a civil wFar, mmCmmm, that I'd be a civil wBbar, mmFmmm
What'd you make me that way fFor, mmCmmm, That I'd be a civil wBbar, mmFmmmm
[Bridge]
Cause dBbamn it, I'm tired and I wanna chaCnge
BAut you put it right into my DmDNA
SBbo just for one evening, I curse your naCme
AAnd ask why the hell do You do this to Dmme?G  
[Chorus]
GmWhy would you put, wChy would you put
Why you would put goFod into my heCart
Then tease me with eBbvil since the day I was boFrn?
Guilty and conFfused, I ripped myself aCpart
When you always kBbnew I'd be a civil wFar
That I'd be a civil wFar, mmCmmm, that I'd be a civil wBbar, mmFmmm
What'd you make me that way fFor, mmCmmm, That I'd be a civil wBbar, mmFmmmm
