Lyrics

I've got some questions and I need some of your time
I'll even have a cheeseboard if you bring a bottle of red wine
Dear God, Dear the Devil, I'd like to invite you round for tea
The doorbell isn't working but the table's set for 3
'Cause I've got mints, I've got coffee, make sure you eat your greens
Dear God, Dear the Devil, please be honest with me
Why do the loudest laughs always have the silent cries?
Why are mothers holding babies but you took daddy from their side?
Why can't some days last forever? Why is my harshest critic me?
Dear God, Dear the Devil, please come round for tea
Why do we have to be the strongest on the days we feel most weak?
Why are flowers sent so pretty when the future's looking bleak?
Why do some know where they're heading but others wanna turn around?
Why are the ones with hearts of sunshine buried six-feet underground?
Why can't you stop the earthquakes when you can paint colours in the sky?
Why do our favourite "hello's" sometimes turn into goodbyes?
Why can't grandpas live forever? Why can't you find those lost at sea?
Dear God, Dear the Devil, please can you tell me
If we're all created equal why do some live on the streets?
Why do some get to grow grey hair when others are given weeks?
Why do some find peace on the shoreline but others find it in a glass?
Why can't you stop the house fires? Why did you watch that plane crash?
Why do you not reply when we're all screaming "why"?
Why do you teach us how to love and then strip it away in the blink of an eye?
Dear God, Dear the Devil, I want your reasons to be told
Dear God, Dear the Devil, where are you? Dinner's getting cold
