"Wasted Prayers" lyrics

I don't know why it took your goodbye
To get me down on my knees again
Why every headache with every sunrise
Turns to foldin' up these hands
Maybe it's the Jack that I've been slingin'
Maybe somethin' in the smoke that I've been breathin' in
That always brings me back to the feelin' of hopin' and wishin'

You'll come back and just like that, we'll fall again
Forget the fact that we both tried a million times
But you and I don't work like that
Chase a pull with another shot
Then bow my head and talk to God
Wake up sober and you're not there
I've been prayin' wasted prayers
All these wasted prayers

Nothing puts me in the past like
Puttin' down this empty glass
I could handle this thing with grace
But I prefer to learn the hard way
Sip sippin' it down
Livin' it up
Learnin' my way 'round someone I don't even love wishin'

You'll come back and just like that, we'll fall again
Forget the fact that we both tried a million times
But you and I don't work like that
Chase a pull with another shot
Then bow my head and talk to God
Wake up sober and you're not there
I've been prayin' wasted prayers
All these wasted prayers

I've been sip sippin' it down
Livin' it up
Askin' my way round to the angels above if

You'll come back and just like that, we'll fall again
Forget the fact that we both tried a million times
But you and I don't go like that
Chase a pull with another shot
Then bow my head and talk to God
Wake up sober and you're not there
I've been prayin' wasted prayers
All these wasted prayers
Yeah, oh
I've been prayin', I've prayin' wasted prayers
All these wasted prayers
