'Cause I'm weak in her wake
And if I'm strong, I might still break
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 of happiness
So God, give me strength, God, give me strength

I can't hold onto, 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 of happiness
So God, give me strength

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 a shirt
See, I'm only human, I want you to hurt
I want you, I want you to hurt

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 of happiness
So God, give me strength, God, give me strength

Wipe her from my memory
I might as well
God, give me strength
God, give me strength
I might as well
