I may never stop asking why But growing up I realize The sting of life is not the enemy Something better in my sights Than the comfort I once idolized Sometimes to heal you're gonna have to bleed I used to push the hurt away I didn't wanna feel my hard heart break But now I'm caught in this bittersweet refrain Thank God for the good pain Ohh, I see my faith grow bigger now Ohh, I gotta story to sing about Sometimes we break if that's what it takes To make us whole again I know it's grace that leads us to change So I'm gonna thank my God for the good pain Always found it so cliche To find beauty in heartache Til it was all I had to carry me Don't wanna push the hurt away I wanna feel my hard heart break So wrap me up in that bittersweet embrace Thank God for the good pain Ohh, I see my faith grow bigger now Ohh, I gotta story to sing about Sometimes we break if that's what it takes To make us whole again I know it's grace that leads us to change So I'm gonna thank my God for the good pain No, I'm not ashamed to be broken Cause deep down inside I know it Every tear I cry, every sleepless night Will someday turn into praise Thank you God for the good pain Ohh, I see my faith grow bigger now Ohh, I gotta story to sing about Sometimes we break if that's what it takes To make us whole again I know it's grace that leads us to change So I'm gonna thank my God for the good pain
