I enjoyed writing the music to this song. It came together
in a way that stood out to me from the rest of my music. The lyrics
fit in with my mood during this time. A girl I had been seeing had
decided to get back together with her abusive ex. Nothing like
having a girl leave you because you didn't hit her.

Here I am again
Making love to another lonely night
Man I've grown to know her too well
But it's not who I wanna be with tonight
A lonelyness that has crept up inside me
For my smile it has dug a grave
A lonelyness that's fed by rejection
After I've found the strength to be brave

I Pray
I Pray that love is gonna find me
I Pray
I Pray that love I'm gonna find
I Pray
I Pray that someday I'll find what
Gives my life a sunny day

I often find myself
On the wrong side of fate
Watching someone close finding their love
Leaving me with a life I hate
My friends they tell me
I'm too hard on myself
They say I've got a lot to offer
But, ah, why am I forever without someone else?

I Pray
I Pray that love is gonna find me
I Pray
I Pray that love I'm gonna find
I Pray
I Pray that someday I'll find what
Gives my life a sunny day
