The Carousel

[Verse 1] Lord forgive me I left that bottle empty It fits right in beside the other ones It's the last one, I can promise that I swear I'll find a game that's just as fun Lord forgive me If heaven only sent me A stronger mind, I'd make it out alive I'm a master of the carousel But every couple rounds I'm left behind [Chorus] And I don't know if I can go back To the hidden smile in that photograph That my mother took I swear she turned to me and said "I just pray you stay" "I just pray you stay just like this" [Verse 2] Lord forgive mе For making her a memory But asking her to dancе inside my dreams She's the last one, I can promise that I swear I'll let her go like we agreed Lord forgive me I never saw you in me And even now, my voice dies in the walls Well it's hard to keep a vow When I'm aware that you're not listening at all [Chorus] And I don't know if I can go back To the pretty girl in that photograph That I took myself when she turned to me and said "I just pray you stay" "I just pray you stay" "I just pray you stay just like this"
