Send Me a King

[Verse 1]
Heart heavy, knees bent, whisper to the sky
Another wrong one, Lord, I'm asking You why
He say he love me, but his fists tell a lie
Or his hands only wander, no soul to apply
Every night I cry, my pillow knows the script
Tired of these actors, their roles always flip
Said he’d hold me down, but he dipped when it hit
Lord, send me a King, I’m done with the counterfeit
[Chorus]
Send me a King, not a jester in disguise
One who sees my soul, not just my thighs
I’m building a kingdom, I need a hand
God, send me a King, not a broken man
[Verse 2]
They love the chase, then they ghost in the mist
Promise me the world, but their hearts don’t exist
Emotionally absent, like a draft in the room
Leave me with my shadow, dancing in the gloom
But I’m a Queen, God, You made me whole
Why they can’t see my heart, just the glitter and gold
They want the body, but never the soul
I need a partner, not a player on parole
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m tired of settling, tired of the pain
God, cleanse my path, wash it in the rain
