Bailey prays for me sometimes
As if things never happened-as if we stayed and tried
like we never lost the baby-like I never lost my mind
Bailey prays for me sometimes

Erin thinks of me at night
When there's no one else to get up out of bed and hit the lights
Like I never left her waiting, like the time was always right
Erin thinks of me at night

Becca gave me one last chance
I put her on a pedestal before I left her trance
I had two weeks to hold her in the kitchen while we danced
Becca gave me one last chance

Was it them or was it me that got away?
the ones whose lives are better off because I didn't stay
An influence at best and at the worst I brought decay
Was it them or was it me that got away?


Bailey prays for me sometimes
But she had to move to Portland- let her conscience be her guide
It's for the best we let it rest. pretend we never tried
but.....Bailey prays for me sometimes
