Lyrics

(Words sung by the character in the movie given in brackets)
Now I have nothing, so god give me strength
'Cause I'm weak in her ( his ) 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 [this belle is wrung out]
( He ) she was the light that I'd bless
( He ) she took my last chance at happiness
So god give me strength, god give me strength

I can't hold onto ( him ) 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
( He ) she was the light that I'd bless
( He ) she took my last chance at happiness
So god give me strength

God if [he'd] she'd grant me ( his ) her indulgence and decline
I might as well wipe ( him ) her from my memory
Fracture the spell as ( he ) she becomes my enemy
Maybe I was washed out like a lip-print on his shirt
See, I'm only human, I want him to hurt
I want him
I want him 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
( He ) she was the light that I'd bless
( He ) she took my last chance at happiness
So god give me strength, god give me strength
