A Prayer Away

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.
