Lyrics
Verse 1
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, oh, oh)
Pre-Chorus
Doing all that dirt, yeah
All up on my name
Showing me that with dirt, yeah
I could do the same
Chorus
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
(Pray, pray)
It's the only thing I can do
My peace of mind's bulletproof
(Pray, pray)
So I can't hold on to you
Verse 2
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
Verse 3
I've heard it said that people come and they go
To show you something that you didn't know
Now it's so clear how it all unfolds
(Oh, oh, oh)
Pre-Chorus
Doing all that dirt, yeah
All up on my name
You're the one that's hurt, yeah
But I'm not the same
Chorus
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
(Pray, pray)
It's the only thing I can do
My peace of mind's bulletproof
(Pray, pray)
So I can't hold on to you
Bridge
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
Outro
I wish you well, but from way, 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
(Pray, pray)
It's the only thing I can do
My peace of mind's bulletproof
(Pray, 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
(Pray, pray)
