God Forbid

I used to worry about typical things

They never kept me up at night

They never took the wind right out of me

And brought me to my knees

I used to worry 'bout typical things

I never bowed my head

I didn't see the use

But now you're miles away from me

And if I had to

I know there's nothing I can do

No matter how badly I wanted to

God forbid

You and I

Ever find better words to describe

How we can't

Run and hide

From the fear in the back of our minds

Though I do not believe in him

I still say God forbid

When it's too frightening to name

And you can't imagine how

You could ever get out of bed again

And carry on somehow

Something you cannot say out loud

But it's all you think about

God forbid

You and I

Ever find better words to describe

How we can't

Run and hide

From the fear in the back of our minds

Though I do not believe in him

I still say God forbid

I used to worry about typical things

God forbid

You and I

Ever find better words to describe

How we can't run and hide

Run and hide

From the fear in the back of our minds

Though I do not believe in him

Though I do not believe in him

I still say God forbid

I still say God forbid
