I got to say it wasn’t easy,

to let you go and watch you fall.

Nothing’s worse than being chained and tied, left behind,

But you’re better off alone.

I have to know, did I mean anything?

Or were you just playing along?

I find myself wondering late at night, and I close my eyes

wishing to God that you weren’t gone.

  (Chorus:)

  No matter how hard I pray,

  Nothing stays the same.

  One day, I hope that will change

  and you’ll come around this way.

  And I can’t wait 

   to see your face.

All these chains are just my pride,

and I’m sorry I’m such a fool.

I’ve tried a thousand times, to make it right

But I just can’t  get over you.

  (Repeat Chorus:)

  No matter how hard I pray,

  it only stays the same. 

  One day, I hope that will change

  and you’ll come around my way,

  ‘cause I can’t wait 

   to see you again.

  (Instrumental break for Bridge)

  (Repeat Chorus:)

  No matter how hard I pray,

  it only stays the same.

  Someday, I hope to hear you say

  that you’ll be around this way,

  but I can’t wait

   for all this to change.
