God Forbid Lyrics

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
