A Prayer for Jane

With her headphones on, she disappears
Into a world with no restrictions
Alone in her room in her parents' house
Waiting for love to recognize her
Her mother is downstairs miles away
Pouring a drink to dull the ache
She thinks to herself, "My baby’s just like me
Please, don't let her make the same mistakes"

If you're lonely, say a prayer for Jane
She’s the spirit of a young girl's heart
Light a candle in the pouring rain
When you feel the pain
Say a prayer for Jane

2 AM as prearranged
She sneaks down the hall and out of the door
They're running away in her boyfriend's car
The moment they've been waiting for
Free as the wind blowing in her hair
Driving as fast as a love could go
Outta control on a dead man's curve
The phone rings and her mother answers:
"No, no, no! Not my baby, no!"

If you're lonely, say a prayer for Jane
She's the spirit of a young girl’s heart
Light a candle in the pouring rain
When you feel the pain
Say a prayer for Jane

She left on the message on the bathroom mirror
Lipstick on the mirror said:
"Mommy, I love you, but
You’ve just gotta let me go
Can we talk about it tomorrow?"

If you're lonely, say a prayer for Jane
She’s the spirit of a young girl's heart
Light a candle in the pouring rain
When you feel the pain
(Feel the pain)

Oh, say a prayer for Jane
She's the spirit of a young girl's heart
Light a candle in the pouring rain
When you feel the pain
Remember Jane
