That I was praying empty prayers

But you hopped in your car, pulled out your keys

While you were leaving, I was begging God for you to love me 
Em (022000@1)                             CAnd (x32010@1)I know that He had something better to do

Could've been saving the world from a tragedy,

But instead He was listening to me

I was asking, begging for a sign to bring

comfort to this lonely heart of mine

But apparently you're not what I need

I guess you walking out was Him answering

Chorus:
Em (022000@1)                 Cadd9And (x32030@1)you left me on my knees
