Phone Screen Prayer
by Kenny Morris
Lyrics
Verse 1
I check my phone
Every five minutes
Hoping to see
Your name on my screen
Even when we're mad
At each other
I still reach for you
Like it's habit
Pre-Chorus
I act so cool
I keep my face still
But my chest won't listen
It keeps calling you
Don't leave me here
With this heavy silence
I'm trying to breathe
Through the missing you
Chorus
My heart still belongs to you
(Still belongs to you)
My heart still belongs to you
(I can't let go of you)
I pretend I'm strong
But I'm breaking slow
Please don't stay mad
For long, babe
Verse 2
I say I'm fine
Then I stare at the door
One small reply
Could fix this war
Your last goodbye
Still sits on my tongue
I hate this space
Between us now
Pre-Chorus
I act so cool
I keep my face still
But my chest won't listen
It keeps calling you
Don't leave me here
With this heavy silence
I'm trying to breathe
Through the missing you
Chorus
My heart still belongs to you
(Still belongs to you)
My heart still belongs to you
(I can't let go of you)
I pretend I'm strong
But I'm breaking slow
Please don't stay mad
For long, babe
Bridge
If you call me now
I'll answer fast
No pride, no game
Just us at last
This pain is loud
Inside my skin
Say my name once
Let me in
Chorus
My heart still belongs to you
(Still belongs to you)
My heart still belongs to you
(I can't let go of you)
I pretend I'm strong
But I'm breaking slow
Please don't stay mad
For long, babe
African, African, African
