Pray
Kodaline/Musicfire.in Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm counting the days since you went away
When I lost my heart, life lost all meaning
What I would give to see you again
I'll pray for you
Do you pray for me?
I'll pray for you
And you slipped away from me without talking
The look in your eye was stronger than this
And I drink alone to stop me from weeping
What's left of my heart is forever yours
Forever yours
I'll pray for you
Do you pray for me?
I'll pray for you
I know I know I know I know
these lyrics may seem simple, but they carry a lot of emotional depth. Kodaline's song "Pray" is a heartfelt ballad about a lost love. The opening lines set the tone, questioning how many nights the singer spends dreaming about the person who left them. The statement "When I lost my heart, life lost all meaning" highlights the significance of the relationship to the singer and reveals the extent of their pain.
The crux of the song is encapsulated in the chorus, where the singer talks about praying for their lost love. The act of praying is seen as a way to connect with the person who is no longer with them. The singer also wonders if the other person is praying for them too, indicating a sense of longing and hope. The line "And you slipped away from me without talking" hints that there is an unresolved situation, and the singer is left to deal with their heartbreak alone.
The lyrics also express the use of alcohol as a coping mechanism to numb the pain of the loss. The line "And I drink alone to stop me from weeping" reveals how the singer's inner turmoil is causing them to drink alone. The final line "Forever yours" conveys the complexity of the singer's feelings; though the relationship ended, they still see the lost love as being significant and important to them.
