Lyrics

Now i have nothing, so god give me strength 'Cause i'm weak in her wake And if i'm strong i might still brea And i don't have anything to share That i won't throw away into the air That song is sung out This bell is rung out She was the light that i'd bless She took my last chance at happiness So god give me strength, god give me strength I can't hold onto her, god give me strength When the phone doesn't ring And i'm lost in imagining Everything that kind of love is worth As i tumble back down to the earth That song is sung out This bell is rung out She was the light that i'd bless She took my last chance at happiness So god give me strength (Bridge) God if she'd grant me her indulgence and decline I might as well, wipe her from my memory Fracture the spell, as she becomes my enemy Maybe i was washed out like a lip-print on my shirt See, i'm only human, i want her to hurt I want her I want her to hurt [Instrumental] Since i lost the power to pretend That there could ever be a happy ending That song is sung out This bell is rung out She was the light that i'd bless She took my last chance at happiness So god give me strength, god give me strength
