Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Girl of 16, whole life ahead of her
Slashed her wrists, bored with life
Didn't succeed, thank the Lord
For small mercies
[Verse 2]
Fightin' back the tears, mother reads the note again
Sixteen candles burn in her mind
She takes the blame, it's always the same
She goes down on her knees and prays
[Verse 3]
I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours
But I think that God's got a sick sense of humor
And when I die, I expect to find Him laughing
[Verse 4]
I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours
But I think that God's got a sick sense of humor
And when I die, I expect to find Him laughing
[Verse 5]
Girl of 18, fell in love with everything
Found new life in Jesus Christ
Hit by a car, ended up
On a life support machine
[Verse 6]
Summer's day, as she passed away
Birds were singin' in the summer sky
Then came the rain and once again
A tear fell from her mother's eye
[Verse 7]
I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours
But I think that God's got a sick sense of humor
And when I die, I expect to find Him laughing
I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours
But I think that God's got a sick sense of humor
And when I die, I expect to find Him laughing
[Verse 8]
I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours
But I think that God's got a sick sense of humor
And when I die, I expect to find Him laughing
I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours
But I think that God's got a sick sense of humor
And when I die, I expect to find Him laughing
[Verse 9]
I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours
But I think that God's got a sick sense of humor
And when I die, I expect to find Him laughing
