Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I try 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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
I prayed about us every night
Mm
Boy, I know you had to hear me
You could have stopped me then and told the truth
But instead, you put a pillow over your head
[Verse 4]
Oh
And you left me on my knees
You just walked out the door
Babe
You didn't even have the decency to intervene while I was
Begging God
For you to love me
[Verse 5]
You should have told me it was useless
That I was praying empty prayers
Yeah
But you hopped in your car
Pulled out your keys
While you were leaving
I was begging God
For you to love me
[Verse 6]
And I know that He has something better to do
Than to sit and listen to a broken-hearted fool
Could have been saving the world from a tragedy
But instead He was listening to me
[Verse 7]
I was asking, begging for a sign
To bring comfort to this lonely heart of mine
But apparently you're not what I need
I guess you walking out was Him answering
[Verse 8]
You left me on my knees, baby
You just walked out the door
Yeah huh
You didn't even have the decency to intervene while I was
Begging God
For you to love me
[Verse 9]
I try my best to keep you here
But it's hard to hold a shadow
