[English]

The feeling's finally mutual

I'm ready to let you know

Don't wanna see you no more

I'm ready to let this go

But never will I ever not wish you well

Though we're not together, God bless you still

It's gonna get better, I know it will

Just hope you know, I still

I pray for you

I pray for you

I pray for you

I pray for you

I pray you find your confidence

Pray you find a confidant

Pray you get everything that you want

Pray you get everything that I could not give to you

I know that it may seem weird to you

But, never will I ever not wish you well

Though we're not together, God bless you still

It's gonna get better, I know it will

Just hope you know, I still

I pray for you

I pray for you

I pray for you

I pray for you

I pray
