Hunter Hayes - Dear God (Official Music Video)

Stay in touch with Hunter Hayes!

LYRICS
Here I go again
Three glasses in, counting my sins
Home alone again
It's three in the morning
Just me and my demons at war again
So I'm calling in, are you listening?

You made a man this fragile
You made a heart that can break
You showed me the road less traveled
Knowin' I'm gonna run away
You make me love so hard
When everything I love just leaves
Are you sure there's nothing wrong with me?

And why does my life have to hurt so much?
Why can't I find any peace or love?
And why do I feel like I'm not enough?
Dear God, are you sure that you don't mess up?

Can we still call it praying if all that I do is sitting here cursing, cursing your name again?
The truth is it's not even you
It's just me that I'm up against
But you made me this
Can we share the blame for this? Mmm

'Cause after all, you made a man this fragile
You made a heart that can break
I know you showed me the road less traveled
Knowin' I'm gonna run away
You make me love so hard
When everything I love just leaves
Are you sure that there's nothing wrong with me?

'Cause why does my life have to hurt so much?
Why can't I find any peace or love?
And why do I feel like I'm not enough?
Dear God, are you sure that you don't, that you don't mess up?
You don't mess up
I know you don't mess up, I know that you don't mess up

I know this ain't for nothing
There's nothing you don't make
I know you got your reasons
This shit's just hard to take
I don't mean to criticize you
I know I'm hard to teach
I know you tell me there's nothing wrong with me

Yeah, but why does my life have to hurt so much?
And why can't I find any peace or love?
And why do I feel like I'm not enough?
Dear God, are you sure that you don't, that you don't mess up?
You don't mess up
I know you don't mess up, yeah
Dear God, just remind me you don't mess up

Friends, I am BEYOND grateful for every one of you sharing your time and your stories with me! I'm headed into a virtual soundcheck (wish me luck). Sending you all nothing but love during these crazy times!

[vhsremote]

I love this song cuz alot of christian music sorta portrays christians relationship with god as being flawless, but in reality alot pf people struggle with their faith, its kinda nice having a song like this u can relate to and help strengthen ur faith

[PrimalRealityMedia]

"Dear god, are you sure that you don't mess up?" I felt this

[MisakiSena]

I physically felt the pain in his eyes when he said "This shit's just hard to take"

[allamericangirl]

After hearing this song, does anybody else feel like giving Hunter a hug?

[marybooth]

Everyone talking about their favorite line in the song, but can we talk about the visuals? The part where he is literally wrestling with himself. I felt that.

[alissabear]

“You made me love so hard when everything I love just leaves.” That hit hard. 😩

[hayniaczone]

The symbolism in this video is pure genius

[wingedwolf]

dear God thank you for giving us Hunter Hayes : )

[marybooth]

Can’t believe it’s been two years already. When I first hear a song, I close my eyes and listen to it as loud as I can. With this one, I didn’t open my eyes for a solid fifteen minutes. I couldn’t. I broke down. It said everything I didn’t know how to say. I still use this song as my prayer from time to time, when life is getting hard and I just don’t know what to say. Thank you so much for everything you do and the music you write.

[jennabethbeauty]

I really do love this because a lot of people dont understand that it's not a sin to ask God why... Lord knows I have before. We all ask why, it's just continuing in faith after we ask why that's important 👍🏻❤

[maxtouchet]

This is exactly how I've felt all of my life just wish I had one friend or family member that ever cared about me never had parents grandparents that cared what's so we wrong with me to deserve this life

[ashleylynngray]

1 Peter 5:7 at its finest. You’re using your gift from Him so profoundly. Keep being the authentic version of exactly who He made you to be. 💕

[caitaldrich]

As someone who struggled with their faith alot and finally found it again after so long, this song is a blessing 🙌

[littlebrace]

im gonna have this on repeat for the next 10 years

[althurmunoz]

God gave this world because of love and that love is people that he created, we who create hate. Just peace y'all, time will come Love conquers.

[seanchesser]

God is working in this broken world. He's breaking these celebrities and using them to show true feelings and emotions we all go through, and showing after all of this, slang words, questioning him, etc GOD STILL LOVES US UNCONDITIONALLY!!! Can i get an AMEN??!!!

[sage]

God thank you for Hunter Hayes I love listening to your music this one hits close to home I'm a Christian but I'm still fighting and I'm still struggling and sometimes I do have my doubts if he's even there thank you for this song I hope one day I'll get to meet you in person that would be so awesome and just give me encouragement

[dishamukherjee]

I can so relate to every line in this song. Depression, self-pity, doubts wake me up in the middle of night with a pain I can never describe in words. This artist is absolutely legendary with a soul touching voice.

[arlene]

I really love the visual concept of this video. He's fighting himself, inside his brain is where the struggle is. At least that is what I take away from this video.
