"Why Won't Heaven Help Me?" Lyrics

I set off alarms and fire off flares

Cause sometimes they answer prayers

I'm listening

I wait for some distant bell to ring

 

Why won't heaven help me?

(Far, far away)

Why won't heaven help me?

(It's so hard to say)

Why won't heaven help me?

 

Hey you out there!

Even if you dare

Take care of your wishes

If you find they do come true

You may regret that too

 

Why won't heaven help me?

Why won't heaven help me?

 

Remember the thrill that followed praise

While dressed for a lover's gaze

The moment when

You saw through the lies of older men

 

Why won't heaven help me?

(Far, far away)

Why won't heaven help me?

(It's so hard to say)

Why won't heaven help me?

 

Hey you out there!

Even if you dare

Take care of your wishes

If you find they do come true

You may regret that too

 

Why won't heaven help me?

(Why won't heaven)

Why won't heaven help me?

(Why won't heaven)

Why won't heaven help me?

(Why won't heaven)

 

I sensed this was wrong but take my word

I thought somehow I'd be spared

Alone again

Believe what you want of me till then

 

Why won't heaven help me?

(Far, far away)

Why won't heaven help me?

(It's so hard to say)

Why won't heaven help me?

 

Hey you out there!

Even if you dare...

Take care of your wishes

If you find they do come true

You may regret that too

 

Why won't heaven help me?

(Why won't heaven)

Why won't heaven help me?

(Why won't heaven)

Why won't heaven help me?

(Why won't heaven)

Why won't heaven help me?

(Why won't heaven)

Why won't heaven help me?

(Why won't heaven)

Why won't heaven help me?

(Why won't heaven)
