Poor Little Prayer

How can you just sleep away the day and Ignore the things that I have to say The snow keeps piling up and I'm forsaken cause you wont wake up A small bird sits on a branch and I write with the pen you used to bite You don't wanna see the things I love It's not how you wanna spend your night And she's so scared That you're not there And you're so spent from all the wear And every night I wish you'd care But it doesn't work My poor little prayer Words hurt more than your absence What did I do for this to happen My eyes hurt cause I stare Looking for something that's not there You say it's only for today but We both know that you're wrong I try to retrace your steps But you're so far gone And she's so scared That you're not there And you're so spent from all the wear And every night I wish you'd care But it doesn't work My poor Oh it doesn't work My poor Oh it doesn't work My poor little prayer
