Wasted Prayers

I don't know why it took your goodbye

To get me down on my knees again

Why every headache with every sunrise

Turns to foldin' up these hands

Maybe it's the Jack that I've been slingin'

Maybe somethin' in the smoke that I've been breathin' in

That always brings me back to the feelin' of hopin' and wishin'

That you'll come back and just like that, we'll fall again

Forget the fact that we both tried a million times but you and I don't work like that

Take a pull with another shot

Then bow my head and talk to God

Wake up sober and you're not there

I've been prayin' wasted prayers

All these wasted prayers

Nothing' puts me in the past like

Puttin' down this empty glass

I could handle this thing with grace

But I prefer to learn the hard way

Sip sippin' it down

Livin' it up

Learnin' my way 'round someone I don't even love wishin'

That you'll come back and just like that, we'll fall again

Forget the fact that we both tried a million times but you and I don't work like that

Take a pull with another shot

Then bow my head and talk to God

Wake up sober and you're not there

I've been prayin' wasted prayers

All these wasted prayers

I've been sip sippin' it down

Livin' it up

Askin' my way round to the angels above if

You'll come back and just like that, we'll fall again

Forget the fact that we both tried a million times but you and I don't work like that

Take a pull with another shot

Then bow my head and talk to God

Wake up sober and you're not there

I've been prayin' wasted prayers

All these wasted prayers

Yeah, oh

I've been prayin', I've been prayin' wasted prayers

All these wasted prayers
