I Hear You Pray

I can no longer stay, I cannot breathe.
Misery will not go away, it will not leave.
If I could, I'd just die.
I swear I would, without a cry.
Waiting for that day, I'm about to break.
Just wishing I could say, "There's no more I can take!"
All I see is lifes shadow, I don't see an end.
I am falling continuosly below, For I've lost a best friend.
I can't stand life, I don't live anymore.
With the cut of this knife, I end all things sore.
What should I do, I'm crying, on my knees
How come when I see you, it silences my pleas?
I hear you pray, pray for me.
I hear you say, "Please let him free."
Sometimes I lie awake, thinking of you.
All the times I would break, you helped me through.
As I fall to the floor, you start to cry.
I'm done fighting this war, I can finally die.
I hear you pray, "God, HELP HIM!"
Yet its anotherday, when my life won't dim.
I cant imagine, if i didn't have you this night...
What would happen, if you didn't help me fight?
I hear you pray, "Don't go leavin."
I hear you pray. "Please, baby, don't stop believen.
