 BEHIND THE MASK OF BEAUTY

A Broken Hearted Prayer


Dear Lord I pray
That you help me get over this man
I try not to ask too much of you
I am doing the best I can

I loved him so deeply
I handed him my heart
Slowly but surely
He began to tear it apart

I gave him my time
I gave him time of his own
He never made time for me
He always left me alone

I showed him how much I cared
How much he meant to me
I loved him with all I had
He was my everything

I always fought for us
I always fought so hard
I never realized
He was just tearing me apart

I was fighting for a love
That was no longer there
A love that was gone
A man who no longer cared

Now that it's over
He is still on my mind
Lord please help me
To leave him behind

He knew how much I loved him
How deeply I cared
Yet he kept quiet
And let me stay there

He was unhappy then
But I am unhappy now
I am trying to get over him
But I really don't know how

He's the first person I think of
When I awake to sunlight
The last person I think of
Before I go to sleep at night

Help me get over him
Help me find someone new
Someone who won't hurt me
Who's love for me is true

I am in so much pain
Lord please heal my heart
Please sew up the pieces
That this man tore apart

Lord please help me
To get over this man
I try not to ask too much of you
But I am doing the best I can
