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'VE GOT TO BELIEVE THAT YOU'RE ONLY A PRAYER AWAY

​

SAVED ME YOUR WORDS ON A BLANK SHEET OF PAPER

POEMS AND VERSES YOU'LL 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'VE GOT TO BELIEVE THAT YOU'RE ONLY A PRAYER AWAY
