Track lyrics:
You still get stoned to make a phone call.
You’re still a bachelor with those blank walls.
Keep telling people you’re six feet tall.
I’m finished praying for your downfall.

Can’t go on thinking it was my fault
and pushing pins into a cursed doll.
Keep draining Stellas and blaming your mom.
I’m finished praying for your downfall.

So many hours putting words in your mouth.
To think I thought I almost figured you out.
I can’t make nice but I can make it make sense now—
I don’t need to see you fall down.
I don’t need to see you fall down.

Still think my sparkle makes you look small.
Still think a fight can make a love false.
Just keep doing whatever you want.
I’m finished praying for your downfall.

I can’t keep begging for what I lost
and cursing tough love from a good god.
Keep whistling, boy, I was never your dog.
But I’m done praying for your downfall.

So many hours putting words in your mouth.
To think I thought I almost figured you out.
I can’t make nice but I can make it make sense now—
I don’t need to see you fall down.
So many lost boys that I swore could be found.
To think I thought I was swimming while I drowned.
Can’t say it cured me but I’ll say that it counts.
I don’t need to see you fall down.

I can’t keep praying, I can’t keep praying,
I can’t keep praying for your downfall.
I can’t keep praying, I can’t keep praying,
I can’t keep praying for your downfall.

So many hours putting words in your mouth.
To think I thought I almost figured you out.
I can’t make nice but I can make it make sense now—
I don’t need to see you fall down.
I’ll be the bigger man now.
I don’t need to see you fall down.
