《Empty Prayers》歌词

[00:00:01] I tried my best to keep you here

[00:00:07] But it's hard to hold a shadow

[00:00:12] You said goodbye but I couldn't hear

[00:00:18] Too busy praying for a miracle

[00:00:24] You left me on my knees

[00:00:31] You just walked out the door

[00:00:36] You didn't even have the decency to intervene

[00:00:42] While I was begging God for you to love me

[00:00:49] I prayed about us every night, mhmm...

[00:00:55] Boy I know you had to hear me

[00:01:00] You could have stopped me then and told the truth

[00:01:05] But instead, you put a pillow over your head

[00:01:11] Oh, and you left me on my knees

[00:01:18] You just walked out the door, babe

[00:01:24] You didn't even have the decency to intervene

[00:01:29] While I was begging God for you to love me

[00:01:37] You should have told me it was useless

[00:01:43] That I was praying empty prayers, yeah

[00:01:48] But you hopped in your car, pulled out your keys

[00:01:52] While you were leaving, I was begging God for you to love me

[00:01:59] And I know that He has something better to do

[00:02:02] Than to sit and listen to a broken hearted fool

[00:02:05] Could have been saving the world from a tragedy

[00:02:08] But instead He was listening to me

[00:02:11] I was asking, beggin' for a sign

[00:02:14] To bring comfort to this lonely heart of mine

[00:02:17] But apparently you're not what I need

[00:02:20] I guess you walking out was Him answering

[00:02:24] You left me on my knees

[00:02:30] You just walked out the door

[00:02:36] You didn't even have the decency to intervene

[00:02:41] While I was begging God for you to love me

[00:02:49] I try my best to keep you here

[00:02:55] But it's hard to hold a shadow...
