Empty Prayers
I tried my best to keep you hereBut it's hard to hold a shadowYou said goodbye but I couldn't hearToo busy praying for a miracle
And you left me on my kneesYou just walked out the doorYou didn't even have the decency to intervene while I was begging God forYou to love me
I prayed about us every nightBoy I know you had to hear meYou could've stopped me then and told the truthBut instead you pulled a pillow over your head
And you left me on my kneesYou just walked out the doorYou didn't even have the decency to intervene while I was begging God forYou to love me
You should've told me it was useless, that I was praying empty prayersBut you hopped in your car, pulled out your keysWhile you were leaving, I was begging God for you to love me
And I know that He had something better to doThan to sit and listen to a broken-hearted foolCould've been saving the world from a tragedy, but instead He was listeningTo meI was asking, begging for a sign to bring comfort to this lonely heart ofMineBut apparently you're not what I needI guess you walking out was Him answering
You left me on my kneesYou just walked out the doorYou didn't even have the decency to intervene while I was begging God forYou to love me
I tried my best to keep you hereBut it's hard to hold a shadow
