When we pray sometimes is to let our lonely hearts feel peace and feel safe
But lately praying hasn't helped me, it hasn't done me any good in that case
In fact, my heart isn't safe, and I can't get a piece of mind to comfort my soul
You'll have time to recover from a lost and your nightmares will end I was told
But the vision of her leaving me in that cold rainy night, I stood there all wet
Dripped and soaked from head to toe, watching her leave, a memory I can't forget
Say goodbye and I felt the hole inside forming, she pulled away as I once feared
I was wanting to hold her close but I was brushed away as my eyes became to teared
Why do I continue to pray when it ends up the same way and it never change
Dreams of her waving bye while she disappears in the night of being out of range
Can't understand why the hurt won't go away, maybe its because I love her alot
Promised I would love her forever, and now I broke it when I gaved all that I got
Didn't want to lose her but she slipped from my arms so my heart tries to maintain
Can't love her when it hurts me more, so why do I pray when I can't erase the pain
She couldn't tell that I was crying for the rain covered my face with its wetness
But for the heart to give better, you have to learn to forget and give forgiveness
Its hard for she say she loved me, but she drove away from my dreams that night
The rain fell, my heart fell, broken dream, tears fell when she was out of my sight
Said she'll keep contact and call me, but I've still have yet to hear the phone ring
But as I wait to hear her voice, only thing I hear is the sound that rain drop bring
I pray that she understand that I miss her, but it doesn't do any good to know that
And writing love letters to her heart makes me miss her more as a matter of fact
On a cold rainy night I lost her, my wet hair dripping and soaking all in my pain
I was realizing its been hours that I've been here, drenching outside from the rain
I prayed that the rain would stop, but it still kept raining and I was standing alone
I was stunned when she said I must let you go, but I cried inside, moan and groan
Breaking my heart into pieces that couldn't be put back together, a broken puzzle
I realize that I lost someone special, while my feet was being soaked in a puddle
I sat there on the bench, didn't want to move, I didn't know where I should go
Clinching my fist and praying to stop the hurt, but no answer as the tears flow
And its been awhile since that rainy night, but it still feels like it was yesterday
Wanted to recover from the pain, but looking back, it still feel like it was today
And if I look into the future, for everytime it rains, just bring you into my mind
I lost contact as she moved away and now she has been gone, left me behind
But I still miss her, for she touched my heart like no other that has come my way
But my heart hurts, I can't sleep, I cry, I miss her, but all I could do now is pray
