[Token - A Prayer lyrics]
Everyone tellin' me I'm just runnin'
From the truth still
I ain't runnin' from nothin'
I know the truth kill
I don't want pictures of you
I want the real one
I gotta sing it to feel it
'cause I don't feel none
They tellin' me I'm over-obsessin' about you
Thinking that I'm just grieving
And it'll pass soon
But I don't want it to pass
I don't want it to rest
I just want it to last
I don't want to forget
Why do I feel like it's someone trying
To pull a cord on me?
Why do I feel like your girlfriend
Knew you more than me?
Why do I feel like when you
Left I was brought with you?
Why do I feel like any moment
I'll get a call from you?
I wrap my hand around that thing you got me
It made me strong without you
You put your arm around me
I put my arm around you
I hit that stage and they all watched
Me say a prayer about you
I said a prayer about you
I said a prayer about you
Everyone tellin' me I'm just runnin'
From the truth still
I ain't runnin' from nothin'
I know the truth kill
I got so much regret and I
Don't know where I'm at
I don't know where to start and
I rather fade to black
I see you in the mirror each
Time I look in there
Did I miss it before or did
You just put it there?
I kept thinkin' about that guitar
You played for me
And all the songs you wrote and
What you were saying to me
Why do I feel like I'm so
Cold I don't even wanna move?
Why do I feel like it's your mom
Look at me like I'm you?
Why do I feel like I just
Lost my number one fan?
I wanna just talk about it but
You're the only one who'd understand
I wrap my hand around that thing you got me
It made me strong without you
You put your arm around me
I put my arm around you
I hit that stage and they all watched
Me say a prayer about you
I said a prayer about you
I said a prayer about you
Everyone tellin' me I'm just runnin'
From the truth still
I don't wanna run anymore, but I prolly will
If I move like I don't believe it
I won't believe it so if you see me by his
Apartment you know the reason
I wanna meet with your girl
Again but I can't, pop
'Cause she gon' tell me another story
She don't stop i know she hopin' to help but
It make it hurt more
'Cause it just remind me of
What I wasn't present for
Why do I feel like you never knew
How much I'm just like you?
You performin' for the holiday
I do it just like you
Why do I feel like I gotta
Carry you wherever I'm seen?
You better be up there sayin':
"My son love me, he love me"
I wrap my hand around that thing you got me
It made me strong without you
You put your arm around me
I put my arm around you
I hit that stage and they all watched
Me say a prayer about you (Prayer)
I said a prayer about you
I said a prayer about you
Happy birthday dear Benji
Happy birthday dear Benji
Happy birthday dear Benji
Bye, bye sweetheart
I'm very happy and grateful you're my son
Bye, bye
From the truth still
I ain't runnin' from nothin'
I know the truth kill
I don't want pictures of you
I want the real one
I gotta sing it to feel it
'cause I don't feel none
They tellin' me I'm over-obsessin' about you
Thinking that I'm just grieving
And it'll pass soon
But I don't want it to pass
I don't want it to rest
I just want it to last
I don't want to forget
Why do I feel like it's someone trying
To pull a cord on me?
Why do I feel like your girlfriend
Knew you more than me?
Why do I feel like when you
Left I was brought with you?
Why do I feel like any moment
I'll get a call from you?
I wrap my hand around that thing you got me
It made me strong without you
You put your arm around me
I put my arm around you
I hit that stage and they all watched
Me say a prayer about you
I said a prayer about you
I said a prayer about you
Everyone tellin' me I'm just runnin'
From the truth still
I ain't runnin' from nothin'

I got so much regret and I
Don't know where I'm at
