I tried my best to keep you here
But it's hard to hold a shadow
You said goodbye but I couldn't hear
Too busy praying for a miracle
And 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
Em (hold strings)
But instead you pulled the pillow over your head
And 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
And I know that He had something better to do
Than to sit and listen to a broken-hearted fool
Could've been saving the world from a tragedy,
And 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 tried my best to keep you here
But it's hard to hold a shadow
