Sort of a Prayer
Red Delicious Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You may be wondering,
Hope clutched in both hands
You may be walking lost
Searching for you promise lands

So, I′ll say.

Sort of a prayer

That I have held to long in my throat
I'll say it as I walk away, you and I know

We should of let it die along time ago
We should of let it die a long time ago.

You may be wondering
Why I stayed so long
With what I felt was too deep to just let it go
I didn′t know it was wrong

So, I'll say.

Sort of a prayer
That I have held to long in my throat
I'll say it as I walk away, you and I know

Sort of a prayer.
That you find what you want so,
And even though it hurts this bad, you and I know,
We can never go back to where we were before,
But as you go your own way remember no one ever loved you more.

I′m saying.

Sort of a prayer,
That i′ve held to long in my throat
I'll say it as I walk away you and I know

Sort of a prayer,
That you find what you want so
And even though, it hurts this bad
You and I know, we should let it die, along time ago

We should of let it die along time ago.

Overall Meaning

In "Sort of a Prayer" by Red Delicious, the singer seems to be speaking to a former lover, explaining why it's time to let go of the relationship. The lyrics reflect a sense of regret, but also a sense of acceptance of the fact that the relationship has run its course. The title "Sort of a Prayer" suggests that the words being spoken are not necessarily directed to a divine being, but rather an admission of one's own desires and hopes.

Throughout the song, the singer acknowledges that they have held onto their feelings for too long, and that it's time to move on. They express a desire for the other person to find what they want, even if it hurts in the process. They also express a sense of nostalgia for what once was, but acknowledge that the past cannot be returned to. The line "remember no one ever loved you more" suggests that the singer still has love and affection for the other person, but recognizes that it's not enough to sustain the relationship.
