 <2. 歌词>

I haven't been to church since I don't remember when
Things were going great till they fell apart (1) again

So I listened to the preacher (2) as he told me what to do
He said you can’t go hating others who have done wrong to you.
Sometimes we get angry, but we must not condemn (3).
Let the good Lord do his job and you just pray for them

I pray your brakes go out running down a hill (4)
I pray a flowerpot falls from a window sill
And knocks you in the head like I'd like to (5)

I pray your birthday comes and nobody calls
I pray you're flying high when your engine stalls (6)
I pray all your dreams never come true
Just know wherever you are, honey, I pray for you

I'm really glad 
I found my way to (7) church
'Cause I'm already feeling better 
and I thank God for his words.
Yeah I'm going take the high road.
And do what the preacher 
told me to do,
You keep messing up 
and I'll keep praying for you (8)

I pray your tire blows out at 110
I pray you pass out drunk with your best friend 
And wake up with his and her tattoos (9)

I pray your brakes go out running down a hill.
I pray a flowerpot falls from a window sill 
and knocks you in the head like I'd like to.

I pray your birthday comes and nobody calls
I pray you're flying high when your engine stalls
I pray all your dreams never come true

Just know wherever you are, 
near or far, in your house or in your car,
wherever you are, honey, I pray for you.
I pray for you
