lyrics

Pray Tell

Pray tell, how’d it go so wrong?
Has it really been this long?
10 years to the day: you're the one that got away

Pray tell, why’d I choose to fear?
With a lover so dear
My fear turned into lies
But the truth was in your eyes

The night you left, the light switched off
Time stood still, my clock - it stopped
Pray tell

My secondhand’s ticking,
I’m changing my thinking now.
Hurt and the sorrow
Die with tomorrow - how?
I’m moving on.

Pray tell, why didn’t I sacrifice?
My ego and appetites
I should have fixed my head
Betrayed your trust instead

A Pyrrhic victory streak I won
Cuz youth is wasted on the young
Pray tell
My secondhand’s ticking,
I’m changing my thinking - now.
Hurt and the sorrow
Die with tomorrow

Your absence will fill with
The memories of how you cared
Praying and telling
I'm through dancing with despair
I'm moving on!

Your absence will sing with
The memories of love out loud
The man in the mirror
sees everything clearer now
I'm moving on!
