dear god lyrics

Dear God
Do you hear me when I'm crying, when I doubt?
And my soul is worth saving, thinkin'
"I'm not good enough for you to answer, what the fuck?"
Don't you love us all the same?
I've taken more than my share of pain
Can't you hear me say your name?
Can't you see I've got these
Angel wings
Sewed on to my back with black ribbon
I know you know it hurts my skin
I was just trying to get into heaven
I've been dying to fit in
Dear God
If I drown myself deep in this holy water
Will it wash away my sins?
I thought you could help me make myself a better daughter
But it hasn't happened yet
I've taken more than my share of pain
Can't you hear me say your name?
Can't you see I've got these
Angel wings
Sewed on to my back with black ribbon
I know you know it hurts my skin
I was just trying to get into heaven
I've been dying to fit in
Mm-mm (dear God)
Mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm (dear God)
Mm-mm-mm
Don't you hear me when I cry?
