A Prayer Away

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
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
