Prayed for a love

[Verse 1]
I’ve traveled through my own four walls
Miles in quiet, nights that stall
Learned how to breathe with no reply
No footsteps down the hall but mine
I make my coffee just for me
Leave the light on, fall asleep
Tank top, bare feet on the floor
No one waiting by the door
Still, somewhere in the back of my mind
There’s a face I’ve never seen

[Chorus]
I do the sign of the cross, I crossed my hands
Prayed for a love I don’t yet understand
I’ve seen the sunrise in different worlds
A few of the seven wonders of the world
But nothing compares to the thought of you
Who you are, and if I’m on your mind too

[Verse 2]
I’ve been alone for so many years
Got used to quiet, got used to ohhhhh my own tears
I don’t know how to make room for us
Or how to trust what I haven’t touched
Would you love the parts I hide?
The way I question, the way I try
Would you see my faith and fear
And stay when things aren’t clear?

[pre course]
Sometimes I talk to God at night
Ask Him if this will be right
If loving twice is still His plan
If grace still reaches where I am

[Chorus]
I do the sign of the cross, I crossed my hands
Prayed for a love I don’t yet understand
I’ve seen the sunrise in different worlds
A few of the seven wonders of the world
But nothing compares to the thought of you
Who you are, and if I’m on your mind too

[Bridge]
Mmmmmmmm I’ve been a wife, I’ve said “forever” before
Still learning what forgiveness is for
There’s an annulment on paper, but my soul still asks
If hope is something I’m allowed to have
So I pray for you, whoever you are
In your broken places, in your scars
I pray you’re patient, I pray you’re kind
I pray you’re praying for me sometimes

[Outro spoken with Music]
If you’re praying for a spouse too, wherever you are
Please leave every thought of me safely with God
