"Hoping and Praying"- by Shelby
I pass my heart on to someone new
Hoping and praying this one will go through
Through all the pain and and whatever comes along
Hoping and praying this time I'm not wrong
I let myself open up just to be deceived
It's another lie I shouldn't of believed
It's another hallucination I tend to keep running into
Hoping and praying it's actually true
"it's love" my mind always says
but my heart is the honest one that I never believe when it tells
I'm hoping and praying I can find someone
Somone to stop this madness that seems to go on and on
Love is what my heart thirsts to conceal
I wonder all the time if it's even real
I hope and I pray it's not just in movies and fairytales
because that's when my heart must begin it's betrayals
I don't want to hurt over my mistake
I hope and pray this won't happen for "the one's" sake
If I don't ever believe in this thing called love
when it comes, my heart won't be tough enough
I'm not perfect, that's a fact
I know the one who I need will accept that
My heart will know who was meant to be
I'm hoping and praying this convinces me
Despite the pain I've been through
I'm hoping and praying I'll hear the honest "I love you"
I'm hoping and praying I won't let this precious heart down
I know someone is out there that's going to help me turn my doubts down
I'm hoping and praying he comes soon
Save me from destroying this happy tune
I'm hoping and praying we lock eyes and know it's what we were looking for
That way this heart won't have to hurt anymore
