[Pre-Chorus]
Now she's in me

And my bones are caving in, oh
She stole my faith again
And I wish you well
Oh, for the night
[Bridge]
She's in my life again

And I wish you well
For the night
For the night
[Chorus]
My bones are caving in
She stole my faith again
I wish you well
For the night
For the night
