[Intro] (Mmm-mmm) (Yeah) [Verse 1] Sunday mornings in the second row Head bowed down like you told me so Thinking you were listening close To every prayer that I composed Never missed a single day Thought that was the righteous way But now I'm writing letters you'll never read Wondering why you left me here to bleed (Ooh-ooh) [Chorus] Oh, I've been good I've been true Done everything you asked me to But heaven stays silent, heaven stays still And I'm losing faith in your will Will it matter? No, it didn't matter to me [Verse 2] Remember when I was just a kid Following rules just like they did Gave my savings to the poor Volunteered at the shelter's door Held my tongue when others cursed Always put your teachings first Now I'm screaming questions to an empty sky Trying to understand the reasons why (Ooh-ooh) [Chorus] Oh, I've been good I've been true Done everything you asked me to But heaven stays silent, heaven stays still And I'm losing faith in your will Will it matter? No, it didn't matter to me [Bridge] What kind of father Stays a silent ghost When all his child's innocence is gone? (Innocence is gone) [Chorus] Oh, I've been good I've been true Done everything you asked me to But heaven stays silent, heaven stays still And I'm losing faith in your will Will it matter? No, it didn't matter to me [Outro] (Yeah) Here I am With trembling hands Writing words you'll never understand All those years of blind belief Brought me nothing but grief Now I'm letting go at last Of all the prayers I've ever asked Yeah, all the prayers I've ever asked (Oh, I've been good) (I've been true) (Done everything you asked me to) (Heaven stays silent) (Heaven stays still) (And I'm losing faith in your will) (Ooh-ooh) I still believe (Ooh-ooh)
