Album: Things I Prayed For

Oh time, sticks to me
and it tears from my skin
So that I, can't remember
just how long it has been.

Whoa but in my mind I can see you
and I think of you so kind
and I know it was my fault
that I fell so far behind.

Chorus
So God take this prayer I send to you
and I hope it finds you well
as for me, well I'm alright as far as I can tell
as far as I can tell
with my unwritten letters (1st time only this last line)

Oh I stopped writing letters
for fear of what you would say
and I know it's not forgiveness
if it's only for one day.

Turn the lights down please so I can sleep
on my pillow wet with tears
while the clock on the mantle
is pushing forward with my tears.
