Testing The Strong Ones

There's an angel by your hospital bed
Desperate to hear his name on your breath
As he looks down you're not making a sound

Open your eyes, look at me
I'll bring to you whatever you need
And I'll tell you I'm sorry
That I can't take this pain away from you
And I'd put it on my own body if I knew how to
Can't you see?

I've gotta bust you out of here somehow
I've never seen your heart this tired
Never seen your spirit held down

I know that you say
This is what you get for being a bad child
But I know this would be your reward
For just a little while, for just a little while

It's testing the strong ones
Scarring the beautiful ones
It's holding the loved ones
One last time

It's testing the strong ones
(Testing the strong ones)
It's scarring the beautiful ones
(Staring the beautiful ones)
It's holding the loved ones
One last time

It's testing the strong ones
(Testing the strong ones)
It's scarring the beautiful ones
(Staring the beautiful ones)
It's holding the loved ones
One last time

It's testing the strong ones
(Testing the strong ones)
It's scarring the beautiful ones
(Staring the beautiful ones)
It's holding the loved ones
One last time
