I Pray

Do you know that everyday I pray
Not to God or for a better day
But that you will take all the things back
The horrible things you said and the love that you lacked

I pray that we could be a family once more
And sometimes I fell that’s all I would live for
But alas, that day will never ever be
Because I can’t see you and you won’t see me

I pray I don’t dream of me and you
But when I’m asleep, dream I do
I hold on to false hope and constantly pray
That you will come back and love me someday

I pray so hard that I get stuck in the past
Thinking of days you told me your love would last
When you told me you loved me and that you cared
And no matter what happens you’d always be there

Well, guess what, you’re not, and it’s not a surprise
You’re probably off getting drunk in disguise
Afraid that one day I’d walk in and see
The daddy that told me he was always too busy

If I did see you, dad, all I would do is pray
Pray that we could be together for just one day
Pray that I could be with you and be happy
After all the years you didn’t want me
