Pray It Away
I just don’t know what to say
I get down on my knees
I begin to pray

I want to pray it all away
My plea goes to the skies
Relieve me from that fateful day
All this pain in me
Can’t you see it with your very eyes?

Too many chances
Too many tries
Too many tears
Seeping from my saddened eyes

Lord have mercy
Why does this still hurt me?

I am thankful for what you’ve given me
But why does this pain still live in me?

She left a long time ago
But the pain haunts me like a relentless shadow

I begin to tremble
All these crazy thoughts start to assemble

Don’t know what to feel
Don’t know what is real
Don’t know what to say
All I can do is pray
Pray it all away

I want relief
All I feel is grief
Make it go away
Make these months of pain seem so brief

Please I beg of you
All this pain
I don’t know how to cope
I don’t know what to do

I’ve been granted so many blessings
And I’m extremely thankful for it all
But I want to be free again
Happy and standing tall

My eyes and head begin to fall
In pain, yet so much to gain
I want to pray it all away
But trying to get through this
Is like running into a brick wall

What did she even do to me?
Why can’t I escape her?
Why can’t you see?
All this pain
That flows so heavily
Merciless
Rips right through me

I look to the skies
Can’t you see me with your very eyes?
How many chances?
How many tries?
Can I please just be granted a final goodbye?

Lord I think I’m through
I don’t know what else to do
I feel like I can’t get through to you
All I want to do is pray it all away
I no longer know what to do or say

Relieve me
I’m trying my hardest
Just believe in me
Please show me mercy

I collapse now
I’ve tried to pray it away
All there is left now is
When and how...
Will this pain go away?
