[Verse 1] I put my name beneath the promise I meant the mark I made I laid my hands against the weight And told myself to stay I read the same line seven times And nothing would go in The next thing waited on the last And I was late again [Chorus] I asked for strength I lost my grip The prayer went on The weight came down Again tomorrow I hear myself say With the same two hands That failed today [Verse 2] I changed the plan, I changed the hour I took the smaller part I cleared the space in front of me I couldn't even start The prayer was still inside my mouth I couldn't finish it I wanted all the things I meant To count for more than this [Chorus] I asked for strength I lost my grip The prayer went on The weight came down Again tomorrow I hear myself say With the same two hands That failed today [Bridge] I said I could bear it I meant every word I said I could bear it I couldn't I still can't [Final Chorus] I asked for strength I lost my grip The prayer went on The weight came down Again tomorrow I hear myself say With the same two hands That failed today Again tomorrow I don't know how
