She sits in the dark
Quietly cursing him and this love
While she's rehearsing every line
She's gonna say when she walks away
On a wing and a prayer
Looking back at her in the mirror is a stranger
Years that have passed, how they seemed to change her
A woman once able to stand on her own
Now searches for strength to move on her own
On a wing and a prayer
On a wing and a prayer, she's leaving tonight
Holding her heart in her hands
Somewhere out there she knows
That she'll find a love that will understands, why she left there
On a wing and a prayer
She held on to maybe as long as she could
Knowing he wouldn't, believing he would
Give her a single reason to stay
To keep her from breaking away
On a wing and a prayer
On a wing and a prayer, she's leaving tonight
Holding her heart in her hands
Somewhere out there she knows
That she'll find a love that will understands, why she left there
On a wing and a prayer
Somewhere out there she knows
That she'll find a love that will understand, why she left there
On a wing and a prayer
Oh, why she left there
On a wing and a prayer
