Mary J Blige - Empty Prayers Lyrics

i tried my best to keep u here
but it’s hard to hold a shadow
u said goodbye but i couldn’t hear
too busy praying for a miracle

u left me on my knees
u just walked out the door
u didn’t even have the decency to intervene
while i was begging god for u to love me
i prayed about us every night, mhmm&
boy i know u had to hear me

u could have stopped me then and told the truth
but instead, u put a pillow over your head
oh, and u left me on my knees
u just walked out the door, babe
u didn’t even have the decency to intervene
while i was begging god for u to love me
u should have told me it was useless

that i was praying empty prayers, yeah
but u hopped in your car, pulled out your keys
while u were leaving, i was begging god for u to love me
and i know that he has something better to do
than to sit and listen to a broken hearted fool
could have been saving the world from a tragedy
but instead he was listening to me
i was asking, beggin’ for a sign

to bring comfort to this lonely heart of mine
but apparently you’re not what i need
i guess u walking out was him answering
u left me on my knees
u just walked out the door
u didn’t even have the decency to intervene
while i was begging god for you to love me
i try my best to keep you here
but it’s hard to hold a shadow
