I Was A Prayer Lyrics

Cover art for I Was A Prayer lyrics by Alkaline Trio

these are copied verbatim from the book, read it before you post lyrics!

I am waiting 'till there's nothing left I'm a prayer, all you see is breath I ampty, I am skin and bones, I'm a rib cage I am out the door with apathy But I'm coming home with sympathy I am realized, I am shamed, I choose to stay here

(Below is where most the the errors are, I don't know why, the words are NOT hard to understand, but keep in mind, I'm sill using the book!)

You got a sign, so I paid a ransom You felt sorry, so I felt a wrath come Had a nice grip on my life 'til you twisted my arm

There's a song I love so much I stole Every precious note I took I sold Now I pit out words. Do you see my lungs on the dance floor? To a hopeless cause I sold my soul A romantic plastic peice of shit you can mold Untill I break into chockable pieces

I open up like the back of a book I ruin everything with just a quick look And I settle down like a rocket explodes Hit the ground, but how far out who knows You got a sign, so I paid a ransom You felt sorry, so I felt a wrath come Had a nice grip on my life till you twisted my arm
