  • God only knows why we were born to burn

    If God is my witness, he'll see that all is not well
    Christ, what a sight for sore eyes
    Looking down on us, all the children that you despise
    God only knows why we were born to burn

    God only knows why we were born to burn

    A bullet in the neck doesn't feel much like love
    A message of rejection sent from above
    No flags, no holy books
    I'll be in hell with the misunderstood

    The sons and daughters that you wished to forget
    A desperate picture of God's regret
    Are we perfect mistakes? Or almighty fuck ups?
    One thing's for sure, he doesn't fucking love us

    He doesn't fucking love us

    Hate must weigh on you like a broken cross
    Hate, the dividing line we'll never step across

    Outcast and reject, outcast and reject

    Father, father, how I've let you down
    A fucking tyrant in a hollow crown
    Father, father, how I've let you down
    A fucking tyrant in a hollow crown

    The sons and daughters that you wished to forget
    A desperate picture of God's regret
    Are we perfect mistakes? Or almighty fuck ups?
    One thing's for sure, he doesn't fucking love us
    He doesn't fucking love us

    He doesn't fucking love us Writer/s: ALEX ANTHONY DEAN, DANIEL JOSEPH SEARLE, SAMUEL DAVID CARTER, THOMAS DUNCAN SEARLE
