[Verse 1] I used to stare into the ceiling Like somebody up there knew my name Every night I asked for something Anything to make it change I said, “Give me one good reason” “Give me one damn sign” But morning kept arriving And the silence sounded just like mine [Pre-Hook] I wore my knees into the floor Waiting for a voice behind the door But every prayer came back empty So I stopped waiting anymore [Hook] Heaven never answered So I learned to answer me Dragged myself out of the wreckage When nobody came to rescue me Heaven never answered Every cry disappeared above But somehow I kept breathing With no miracle coming down If salvation never found me Then maybe I became enough Heaven never answered But I’m still here [Verse 2] I used to think the pain meant something Like suffering had some grand design But some wounds don’t teach you lessons Sometimes hurt is just hurt with time I’ve watched good people break in silence Watched bad ones sleep just fine So forgive me if I stopped believing Every loss was somehow justified [Pre-Hook] Maybe faith was never certainty Maybe doubt still counts somehow But I’m done begging for tomorrow Like I don’t deserve it now [Hook] Heaven never answered So I learned to answer me Dragged myself out of the wreckage When nobody came to rescue me Heaven never answered Every cry disappeared above But somehow I kept breathing With no miracle coming down If salvation never found me Then maybe I became enough Heaven never answered But I’m still here [Bridge — Quiet] And maybe there was something listening Maybe I just never heard Maybe grace was every person Who stayed without a single word Maybe heaven wasn’t thunder Or some light splitting the sky Maybe it was one more morning When I opened up my eyes [Build] I begged for strength I begged for peace I begged for something to believe Then one day I looked down And realized The hands that saved me Were attached to me [Breakdown] NO VOICE NO SIGN NO HAND FROM THE SKY I CRAWLED I BLED I GOT BACK UP EVERY TIME IF HEAVEN NEVER ANSWERS THEN HEAVEN CAN HEAR THIS— I’M STILL ALIVE [Final Hook] Heaven never answered But I don’t need the answer now I built a life from all the pieces I once prayed somebody would pick up Heaven never answered And maybe I’ll never understand Why some prayers die in silence While we’re still begging where we stand But if salvation means surviving Then I finally know enough Heaven never answered So I became My own way up [Outro] I still look at the sky sometimes. Not because I’m waiting. Just because I made it long enough To see another sunrise.
