Everyone waits for a knock on the door
Waiting for someone, who knows what it's for
'Cause we spend a lot of money
Feeling bad and looking fine
I'll try to sum it up in a few simple lines

Oh, darling, life is what you pray for
But love is what you stay for
And I know it's pretty damn funny
How simple it can be
But you didn't hear that from me

Everyone says that it's covered in pain
Waiting for someone who'll take on the blame
Oh, it takes a lot of courage to know you're not alone
The sooner you stand up, the sooner you'll know

Oh, baby, life is what you pray for
But love is what you stay for
And I know it's pretty damn funny
How simple it can be
But you didn't hear that from me

When I hear you crying at night
Like the world is on your shoulders
I'll hold you tight, oh now
'Cause I know a secret or two
And the least I can do is share it with you

Share it with you
Share it, baby

Oh, life is what you pray for
And love is what you stay for
And I know it's pretty damn funny
How simple it can be
But you didn't hear that from me

(Life is what you pray for)
You didn't hear that from me
(Love is what you stay for)
You didn't hear that from me
(Life is what you pray for)

You didn't hear that from me
You didn't hear that from me
