[Verse 1]
If I ever get to Heaven, gonna walk up to his desk and say
"Got a couple questions
Wonder whether you can answer me
You put everything together
Yeah, you made me just the way I am
If you're a lover that can tell me, then please help me understand"

[Chorus]
Why you put good into my heart
Then tease me with evil since the day I was born?
Guilty and confused, I ripped myself apart
When you always knew I'd be a civil war
That I'd be a civil war, that I'd be a civil war
What'd you make me that way for?
That I'd be a civil war

[Verse 2]
Now I've been living with my demons
They've been eating at me every day
I like change 'round my neck
Most nights get the best of me
And I'm ashamed, I'm amazed, I'm afraid of the wicked I need
And I'm sure there's silver lining, and I'm trying, but I cannot see

[Chorus]
Why you put good into my heart
Then tease me with evil since the day I was born?
Guilty and confused, I ripped myself apart
When you always knew I'd be a civil war
That I'd be a civil war, that I'd be a civil war
Now, what'd you make me that way for?
I'd be a civil war
[Bridge]
'Cause damn it, I'm tired and I wanna change
But you put it right into my DNA
So just for one evening, I curse your name
And ask why the hell do You do this to me?

[Chorus]
Why would you put, why would you put
Why you put good into my heart
Then tease me with evil since the day I was born?
Guilty and confused, I ripped myself apart
When you always knew I'd be a civil war
That I'd be a civil war, that I'd be a civil war
Now, what'd you make me that way for?
I'd be a civil war
