Wasted Prayers

I don't know why it took your goodbye
 To get me down on my knees again
 Why every headache with every sunrise
 Turns to foldin' up these hands
 Maybe it's the Jack that I've been slingin'
 Maybe somethin' in the smoke that I've been breathin' in
 That always brings me back to the feelin'
 Of hopin' and wishin'
 That you'll come back and just like that
 We'll fall again, forget the fact
 We've both tried a million times
 But you and I don't work like that
 Takes a pull with another shot
 Then bow my head and talk to God
 Wake up sober and you're not there
 I've been prayin' wasted prayers
 All these wasted prayers
 
 Nothin' puts me in the past like
 Puttin' down this empty glass, I
 Could handle this thing with grace
 But I prefer to learn the hard way
 Sip, sippin' it down
 Livin' it up
 Learnin' my way 'round
 Someone I don't even love, wishin'
 You'll come back and just like that
 We'll fall again, forget the fact
 We've both tried a million times
 But you and I don't work like that
 Takes a pull with another shot
 Then bow my head and talk to God
 Wake up sober and you're not there
 I've been prayin' wasted prayers
 All these wasted prayers
 I've been sip, sippin' it down
 Livin' it up
 Askin' my way 'round
 To the angels above if
 You'll come back and just like that
 We'll fall again, forget the fact?
 We've both tried a million times
 But you and I don't go like that
 Takes a pull with another shot
 Then bow my head and talk to God
 Wake up sober and you're not there
 I've been prayin' wasted prayers
 All these wasted prayers, yeah
 Whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh
 (Sip, sippin' it down, livin' it up)
 Oh, I've been prayin', I've been prayin'
 Wasted prayers
 All these wasted prayers
