In The Fray - How to Save a Life, they sing:
And I pray to God he hears you
I always heard:
and I paid a guy to kiss you
The song is largely about a person trying to help/give advice to a depressed friend. With this change in lyrics, I feel the desperation of the main character shines through far more brightly.
The friend has such low self esteem that you decide to pay someone to pretend to like them, because you’re out of options for how to cheer them up.
