Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You still get stoned to make a phone call
You're still a bachelor with those blank walls
Keep telling people you're six feet tall
I'm finished praying for your downfall
[Verse 2]
Can't go on thinking it was my fault
And pushing pins into a cursed doll
Keep draining Stella's and blaming your mom
I'm finished praying for your downfall
[Chorus]
So many hours putting words in your mouth
To think I thought I almost figured you out
I can't make nice, but I can make it make sense now
La-da-da-da-da-da
I don't need to see you fall down
La-da-da-da-da-da
I don't need to see you fall down
[Verse 3]
Still think my sparkle makes you look small
Still think a fight can make a love false
Just keep doing whatever you want
I'm finished praying for your downfall
[Verse 4]
I can't keep begging for what I lost
And cursing tough love from a good god
Keep whistling, boy, I was never your dog
But I'm done praying for your downfall
[Chorus]
So many hours putting words in your mouth
To think I thought I almost figured you out
I can't make nice, but I can make it make sense now
La-da-da-da-da-da
I don't need to see you fall down
So many lost boys that I swore could be found
To think I thought I was swimming while I drowned
Can't say it cured me, but I'll say that it counts
La-da-da-da-da-da
I don't need to see you fall down
[Bridge]
I can't keep praying, I, I can't keep praying
I can't keep praying for your downfall
I can't keep praying, I, I can't keep praying
I can't keep praying for your downfall
[Chorus]
So many hours putting words in your mouth
To think I thought I almost figured you out
I can't make nice, but I can make it make sense now
La-da-da-da-da-da
Don't need to see you fall down
I'll be the bigger man now
Don't need to see you fall down
