Broken Prayers

I've been taught how to talk to you Hold it together, make the bad look better Say all the words that I'm supposed to Bow my head, say, "amen" Yeah, that'll do Making every dead end look like heaven Like being okay is the way to reach you But you're not afraid of all the things I feel So why am I afraid of being real? You want my tears, every messy word Every scar and every fear You want all I have With no holding back When I'm hurt, at my worst You meet me there 'Cause you see the beauty In my broken prayers In my broken prayers You don't care if it ain't poetry 'Cause all of my edges They're a little rough But that's all I got to bring 'Cause you're not afraid of all the things I feel Don't have to hide the scars that still aren't healed You want my tears, every messy word (yeah) Every scar and every fear You want all I have With no holding back When I'm hurt, at my worst You meet me there 'Cause You see the beauty In my broken prayers In my broken prayers Mascara running down my face Desperate cry in a dark place You take me that way All of me You want my tears, every messy word Every scar and every fear You want all I have With no holding back When I'm hurt, at my worst You meet me there 'Cause you see the beauty In my broken prayers In my broken prayers In my broken prayers In my broken prayers My broken prayers
