pray for you

Tori Kelly

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

Throwin all that dirt, yeah
All up on my name
Shoot me down with words, yeah
I could do the same

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
I pray, I pray
It s the only thing I can do
My peace of mind s bulletproof
I pray, I 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

I ve heard it said that people come and go
To show you something that you didn t know
Now it s so clear how it all unfolded
Oh, mm

Throwin all that dirt, yeah
All up on my name
You re the one that s hurt, yeah
But I m not the same

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
I pray, I pray
It s the only thing I can do
My peace of mind s bulletproof
I pray, I 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

I wish you well, but from 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
It s the only thing I can do
My peace of mind s bulletproof
So, I can t hold on to you

Why d I let you take up space in the first place?
I pray, I pray
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
I pray, I pray
Ain t gonna let you ruin my day
Don t wanna have no heart full of hate
Gotta shake it off, baby, just pray

I pray, I pray
I pray, I pray
