It's nobody's fault that you weren't mine to keep, no But there's no one to call in the millions of people See with your eyes from the other side Pick me a line that will help me cry 'Cause my back's to the wall, but I'm far from a hero And it tears me up that you couldn't be there today I imagine the words you would tell me to ease the pain And I know that I'll see you again, but I fear the wait So I got to believe that you're only a prayer away Saved me your words on a blank sheet of paper Poems and verses you give to the maker Left me with memories that made me whole I'll never learn how to let them go So I'll talk to the lakes and I'll sing to the vapors And it tears me up that you couldn't be there today I imagine the words you would tell me to ease the pain And I know that I'll see you again, but I fear the wait So I got to believe that you're only a prayer away And it tears me up that you couldn't be there today I imagine the words you would tell me to ease the pain And I know that I'll see you again, but I fear the wait So I got to believe that you're only a prayer away.
