God Forbid

I used to worry about typical things It never kept me up at night They never took the wind right out of me Or brought me to my knees I used to worry about typical things I never bowed my head I just didn't see the use Now you're miles away from me And if I had to I know there's nothing I can do Even if I wanted to God forbid you and I Ever find better words to describe How we can't run and hide From the fears in the back of our minds And I know that it's not how we live But we still say, "God forbid" When it's too frightening to name When you can't imagine how That you could ever get out of bed again Or carry on somehow Something you cannot say out loud Something you always think about 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 From the fears in the back of our minds And I know that it's not how we live But we still say, "God forbid" And I know that it's not how we live Though I do not believe he exists I still say, "God forbid"
