Empty Prayers

[00:00.52] I try my best to keep you here
[00:06.05] But it's hard to hold a shadow
[00:12.86] You said goodbye but I couldn't hear
[00:18.51] Too busy praying for a miracle
[00:24.05] And you left me on my knees
[00:30.55] You just walked out the door
[00:36.43] You didn't even have the decency to intervene
[00:41.18] While I was begging God for you to love me
[00:48.34] I prayed about us every night, mhmm
[00:54.59] Boy I know you had to hear me
[01:00.42] You could have stopped me then and told the truth
[01:04.74] But instead, you put a pillow over your head
[01:10.78] Oh, and you left me on my knees, yeah
[01:18.35] You just walked out the door, babe
[01:24.33] You didn't even have the decency to intervene
[01:29.23] While I was begging God for you to love me
[01:36.28] You should have told me it was useless
[01:42.75] That I was praying empty prayers, yeah
[01:47.35] But you hopped in your car, pulled out your keys
[01:51.77] While you were leaving, I was begging God for you to love me
[01:59.32] And I know that He has something better to do
[02:02.11] Than to sit and listen to a broken-hearted fool
[02:05.21] Could have been saving the world from a tragedy
[02:07.94] But instead He was listening to me
[02:11.06] I was asking, beggin' for a sign
[02:14.02] To bring comfort to this lonely heart of mine
[02:17.43] But apparently you're not what I need
[02:20.13] I guess you walking out was Him answering
[02:24.31] You left me on my knees, baby
[02:30.17] You just walked out the door
[02:36.42] You didn't even have the decency to intervene
[02:41.33] While I was begging God for you to love me
[02:48.33] I try my best to keep you here
[02:53.08] But it's hard to hold a shadow
[03:03.35]
