I prayed you back
But heaven stayed quiet
I knelt beside the bed
Where you used to lay
Put both hands together
And called out your name
I asked the Lord for mercy
But morning came the same
I prayed you back
With tears on my face
Begged every star
To lead you my way
But love didn’t answer
And the sky stayed black
I lost my whole heart
When I prayed you back
I wore out every amen
Trying to change your mind
But some doors stay closed
No matter how we cry
Maybe God heard me
And knew I had to let go
I prayed you back
With all I had left
Called your name softly
With a hole in my chest
But love didn’t answer
And the sky stayed black
I found out goodbye
Can’t be prayed back
I prayed you back
But you never came
