Empty Prayers

Mary J. Blige
앨범 : My Life II...The Journey Continues (Act 1)
I tried my best to keep you here
But it's hard to hold a shadow
You said goodbye
But I couldn't hear
Too busy praying for a miracle
And you left me on my knees
You just walked out the door
You didn't even have
the decency to intervene
while I was begging God
for you to love me
I prayed about us every night
Boy I know you had to hear me
You could've stopped me
then and told the truth
But instead you pulled the pillow
over your head
And you left me on my knees
You just walked out the door
You didn't even have
the decency to intervene
while I was begging God
for you to love me
You should've told me
it was useless
That I was praying empty prayers
Yeah
But you hopped in your car
Pulled out your keys
While you were leaving
I was begging God
for you to love me
And I know that
He had something better to do
Than to sit and listen to
a broken-hearted fool
Could've been saving the world
from a tragedy
But instead
He was listening to me
I was asking begging for
a sign to bring comfort
to this lonely heart of mine
But apparently
You're not what I need
I guess you walking out
was Him answering
You left me on my knees baby
You just walked out the door
You didn't even have
the decency to intervene
while I was begging God
for you to love me
I tried my best to keep you here
But it's hard to hold a shadow
