LYRICS
My Prayers
I cried for you with your family
I'll speak honest with you
I wanted to forget about you
I will be there, at your grave
I will scream for your name but you won't scream back
I will give your mom a flower, dry her tears
'Cause Baby you're dead and not worth it
I want to see you dead
that's the only wish I will always have
Oh, I wish you would be dead
To forget all the sweet things you said to me
I really want you dead
cut your head off from your body
Bury your body under my feet
Bury your head in your garden
Six feet under the dirt
Dark days and the full Moon
Who's gonna love you now?
Can you lie under my feet?
My Prayers
I cried for you with your family
I'll speak honest with you
I wanted to forget about you
I will be there, at your grave
I will scream for your name but you won't scream back
I will give your mom a flower, dry her tears
'Cause Baby you're dead and not worth it
I will not pray for you
'Cause Baby you're dead and not worth it
I will not pray for you
I'm used to say sorry
that's what you're supposed to do when you're done something wrong
I always said I'm sorry
For all the terrible mistakes you've done to me
So now I'm really sorry
Sorry for being the wrong one
But If I would tell you this, you would not listen to me
You would think, I'm the crazy one
My Prayers
I cried for you with your family
I'll speak honest with you
I wanted to forget about you
I will be there, at your grave
I will scream for your name but you won't scream back
I will give your mom a flower, dry her tears
'Cause Baby you're dead and not worth it
I will not pray for you
'Cause Baby you're dead and not worth it
I will not pray for you
'Cause Baby you're dead and not worth it
