  • I used to kneel beside my bed at night when I was small
    It was easy as breathing, believing wasn't hard at all
    I knew that You were there close as my next prayer
    The world'll break you down, break your heart and shake your faith
    But now You feel so far away, I don't know who's to blame
    I don't talk to You as much, maybe that's part of growing up

    I carry on this one way conversation
    I'm listening but You don't say a word
    If Your answer's in the silence, I'll be patient
    But it's hard to know my prayers are being heard
    I'm waiting on a whisper, just something to confirm that
    You and me are still on speaking terms

    I mostly come around now when things aren't working out
    I show up with my questions, my stumbles, and my doubts
    Always thinking of myself, and always asking You for help

    So I carry on this one way conversation
    I'm listening but You don't say a word
    If Your answer's in the silence, I'll be patient
    But it's hard to know my prayers are being heard
    I'm waiting on a whisper, just something to confirm that
    You and me are still on speaking terms

    Even though I know You're more than I deserve
    I want to get back to how we were

    So I carry on this one way conversation
    I'm listening but You don't say a word
    If Your answer's in the silence, I'll be patient
    But it's hard to know my prayers are being heard
    Yeah, I'm waiting on a whisper, just something to confirm that
    You and me are still on speaking terms
    Yeah, that You and me are still on speaking terms Writer/s: Ella Langley
