This I Pray for You

Hello, I know that we don't talk,
but still you whisper in my thoughts.
You cry. Please don't cry.
You told me that you had to go
although you said you loved me so.
I know, hello.

Aloud I said I'm being just
then wondered why you wouldn't trust
my lie, it was my pride.
Now you're not coming home.
I know, I know
I am on my own.
But know, please know

wings so you may fly,
comfort when you cry:
this I pray, this I pray for you.

I'm sorry for my selfish acts,
and if I could I'd take them back.
You cried. Oh please don't cry.
And in your bed the things I said,
and if I got inside your head,
I met regret.

You deserve not but the best,
so guard the heart inside your chest.
Be sure, I am sure,
that somewhere, there's a place
where you will go,
pain and fear erased,
where beauty grows.

Water when you thirst,
Love when at your worst:
this I pray, this I pray for you.
