rate me

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