I had a talk with God the other night
And it felt different than the other times
It's heavy on me, all the hurt, the lies
Oh

Throwin' all that dirt, yeah
All up on my name
Shoot me down with words, yeah
I could do the same

I always try to take the high road, I do
But I'm only human
Even though it's hard

I'm gonna pray for you
I pray, I pray
It's the only thing I can do
My peace of mind's bulletproof
I pray, I pray
So, I can't hold on to you

Why'd I let you take up space in the first place?
My mistake, turn the other way
Don't wanna have no heart full of hate
Gotta shake it off, baby, just pray

I've heard it said that people come and go
To show you something that you didn't know
Now it's so clear how it all unfolded
Oh, mm

Throwin' all that dirt, yeah
All up on my name
You're the one that's hurt, yeah
But I'm not the same

I always try to take the high road, I do
But I'm only human
Even though it's hard

I'm gonna pray for you
I pray, I pray
It's the only thing I can do
My peace of mind's bulletproof
I pray, I pray
So, I can't hold on to you

Why'd I let you take up space in the first place?
My mistake, turn the other way
Don't wanna have no heart full of hate
Gotta shake it off, baby, just pray

Two hands up, I'll be okay
Ain't gonna let you ruin my day
Don't wanna have no heart full of hate
Gotta shake it off, baby, just pray

I wish you well, but from way over here
See, I'm just protecting my own atmosphere
Wonder if you're ever gonna change
But either way

I'm gonna pray for you
It's the only thing I can do
My peace of mind's bulletproof
So, I can't hold on to you

Why'd I let you take up space in the first place?
I pray, I pray
My mistake, turn the other way
Don't wanna have no heart full of hate
Gotta shake it off, baby, just pray
Two hands up, I'll be okay
I pray, I pray
Ain't gonna let you ruin my day
Don't wanna have no heart full of hate
Gotta shake it off, baby, just pray

I pray, I pray
I pray, I pray
