Empty Prayers Lyrics
I try my best to keep you here
But ties hard to hold a shadow
You said goodbye but I couldn't hear
To busy praying for a miracle
You left me on my knees
You just walked out the door
You didn't even have the decency to intervene
While I was begging God for you to love me
I prayed about us every night
Boy I know you had to hear me
You could've stopped me then and told the truth
But instead you put a pillow over your head
You left me on my knees
You just walked out the door
You didn't even have the decency to intervene
While I was begging God for you to love me
You should've told me it was useless
That I was praying empty prayers, yeah
But you hopped in your car pulled out your keys
While your were leaving, I was begging God for you to love me
And I know that he had something better to do

Then to sit and listen to a broken hearted fool
Could've been saving the world from a tragedy
But Instead he was listening to me
I was asking, begging for a sign
To bring comfort to this lonely heart of mine
But apparently I got what i need
I guess you walking out was him answering
You left me on my knees
You just walked out the door
You didn't even have the decency to intervene
While I was begging God for you to love me
I try my best to keep you here
But ties hard to hold a shadow
