Oh, God, why did we love you so?
Oh, God, why did we love you so?
Before this pain, no pallid hue,
Before this hurt, what did we gain from you?
Oh, God, why did we love you so?
Oh, God, why did we love you so?

Eyes alight, a drunken sign,
Stole our hearts, and left them to decline.
Eyes alight, a drunken sign,
Stole our hearts, and left them to decline.
By life's own oath, each cruelty, each blight,
By life's own oath, each cruelty, each blight,
We had to smile, and bear the endless night.
Oh, God, why did we love you so?
Oh, God, why did we love you so?

Sometimes unbidden, you would appear,
Sometimes a thousand lies, we had to hear.
Sometimes unbidden, you would appear,
Sometimes a thousand lies, we had to hear.
Within our hearts, beloved, we now plead,
Within our hearts, beloved, we now plead,
Are you our own, or just a distant seed?
Oh, God, why did we love you so?
Oh, God, why did we love you so?
Before this pain, no pallid hue,
Before this hurt, what did we gain from you?
Oh, God, why did we love you so?
