Why is he still here?

Verse 1

God, I’ve asked You more than once

Take his name out of my head

Let me wake up wanting something

Something different instead

I’ve handed You this feeling

Said, “Do whatever You need to do”

But every time I let him go

You lead my heart back to him

Pre-Chorus

I’m not asking for a sign

I’m just asking why

If this was never meant to be

Why won’t this feeling die?

Chorus

Why is he still here?

Why is he still here?

After all the nights I begged You

To make him disappear

You haven’t opened any new doors

You never moved my heart

So if You haven’t taken this away

Could that mean it’s right?

Verse 2

I watched him choose somebody else

And God, I lost my mind

I broke into a million pieces

Trying to leave him behind

I cried until I couldn’t breathe

“God, take this love from me”

But You put every piece back together

And left this one in me

Chorus

Why is he still here?

Why is he still here?

After all the nights I begged You

To make him disappear

You haven’t opened any new doors

You never moved my heart

So if You haven’t taken this away

Could that mean it’s right?

Bridge

I didn’t hold on because I wanted to

Holding on nearly broke me

I begged You, “Please, just let me go”

I begged You to set me free

But You healed every broken piece

Except the love still there

So if I gave him up a thousand times

Why is he still here?

Final Chorus

Why is he still here?

Why is he still here?

After all these years of asking

You never made him disappear

If You wanted me to lose him

Why didn’t You move my heart?

God, if You never took this love away...

Could that mean it’s right?

Outro

I’m not asking for a sign

I’m just asking You tonight—

If You never moved him from my heart...

Could that mean it’s right?
