"Praying For Me" lyrics
You were never praying for me
The whole world turned and time stood still
You took my hand and things got real
You looked at me right in my eyes
And swore you'd never make me cry
You hurt so many on your way
And somehow I still chose to stay
I stood by you when no one would
And called your chaos something good
(Something good)
For not being an actor, you really love the stage
For not being a player, you sure love playing games
You slept with your ex, had a girlfriend too
And a stranger in New York drunk in your hotel room
Told me I was your twin flame
You're meant to be
While you were out there praying for me
You handed me a future mother's day card
Said you'd never miss another birthday
That broke my heart
You swore to God, but you played the part
With holy hands and a sinner's heart
You swore to God so faithfully
That night we both know you were never praying for me
You call it closure, I call it spin
Your version starts where your guilt begins
You say you cared, you say you tried
But baby, love and lies can't coincide
You wore that halo made of tin
But it's caving in
It's caving in
You created the chaos, you lost control
You love a payoff, but that won't make you whole
You slept with your ex, had a girlfriend too
And a stranger in New York drunk in your hotel room
Told me I was your twin flame
You're meant to be
While you were out there praying for me
You handed me a future mother's day card
Said you'd never miss another birthday
That broke my heart
You swore to God, but you played the part
With holy hands and a sinner's heart
You swore to God so faithfully
That night we both know you were never praying for me
You twisted the story, rewrote the scene
Made yourself sound so serene
But if anyone's searching for honesty
They can just come and ask me
You slept with your ex, had a girlfriend too
And a stranger in New York drunk in your hotel room
Told me I was your twin flame
You're meant to be
While you were out there praying for me
You handed me a future mother's day card
Said you'd never miss another birthday
That broke my heart
You swore to God, but you played the part
With holy hands and a sinner's heart
You swore to God so faithfully
That night we both know you were never praying for me
Said I was your twin flame
But someone that I've been
Could never be mine
The whole world turned and time stood still
You took my hand and things got real
You looked at me right in my eyes
And swore you'd never make me cry
You hurt so many on your way
And somehow I still chose to stay
I stood by you when no one would
And called your chaos something good
(Something good)
For not being an actor, you really love the stage
For not being a player, you sure love playing games
You slept with your ex, had a girlfriend too
And a stranger in New York drunk in your hotel room
Told me I was your twin flame
You're meant to be
While you were out there praying for me
You handed me a future mother's day card
Said you'd never miss another birthday
That broke my heart
You swore to God, but you played the part
With holy hands and a sinner's heart
You swore to God so faithfully
That night we both know you were never praying for me
You call it closure, I call it spin
Your version starts where your guilt begins
You say you cared, you say you tried
But baby, love and lies can't coincide
You wore that halo made of tin
But it's caving in
It's caving in
You created the chaos, you lost control
You love a payoff, but that won't make you whole
You slept with your ex, had a girlfriend too
And a stranger in New York drunk in your hotel room
Told me I was your twin flame
You're meant to be
While you were out there praying for me
You handed me a future mother's day card
Said you'd never miss another birthday
That broke my heart
You swore to God, but you played the part
With holy hands and a sinner's heart
You swore to God so faithfully
That night we both know you were never praying for me
You twisted the story, rewrote the scene
Made yourself sound so serene
But if anyone's searching for honesty
They can just come and ask me
You slept with your ex, had a girlfriend too
And a stranger in New York drunk in your hotel room
Told me I was your twin flame
You're meant to be
While you were out there praying for me
You handed me a future mother's day card
Said you'd never miss another birthday
That broke my heart
You swore to God, but you played the part
With holy hands and a sinner's heart
You swore to God so faithfully
That night we both know you were never praying for me
Said I was your twin flame
But someone that I've been
Could never be mine
