There’s a weight in the air tonight, A quiet ache that hides in the light. Your smile is kind, but your eyes don’t stay, Like a fleeting star that slips away. I hold my breath; I hold my ground, Afraid of the truth that won’t make a sound. The words I can’t say hang in the air, A love I carry like a prayer. Unspoken prayers, they rise and fall, Whispered truths you’ll never call. Every heartbeat, every sigh, A silent wish that won’t reply. Unspoken prayers, they’ll never be, But they’ll keep living inside of me. You stand so close, but you’re far away, A shadow caught in the light of day. I reach for you in the spaces between, But love unseen is just a dream. I watch the moments pass us by, The words get lost, I don’t know why. I hold it in, though it’s not fair, This love that stays an unanswered prayer. Unspoken prayers, they rise and fall, Whispered truths you’ll never call. Every heartbeat, every sigh, A silent wish that won’t reply. Unspoken prayers, they’ll never be, But they’ll keep living inside of me. Not every love is meant to grow, Sometimes the heart must let it go. But even as I set you free, The prayers remain, a part of me. Unspoken prayers, they rise and fall, Whispered truths you’ll never call. Every heartbeat, every sigh, A silent wish that won’t reply. Unspoken prayers, they’ll never be, But they’ll keep living inside of me. And as you fade into the night, I’ll carry your name in the quiet light. Unspoken prayers, forever true, A part of me still prays for you.
