Lyrics God Give Me Strength - Elvis Costello, Burt Bacharach

God Give Me Strength

Now I have nothing, so God give me strength
Cause Im weak in her wake
And if Im strong I might still break
And I don’t have anything to share
That I wont throw away into the air
That song is sung out
This bell is rung out
she was the light that I’d bless
she took my last chance at happiness
So God give me strength, God give me strength
I can’t hold onto her, God give me strength
When the phone doesnt’t’t ring
And Im 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
she was the light that I’d bless
she took my last chance at happiness
So God give me strength,
God if she’d grant me her indulgence and decline
I might as well wipe her from my memory
Fracture the spell as she becomes my enemy
Maybe I was washed out like a lip-print on his shirt
See, Im only human, I want him to hurt
I want him
I want him to hurt
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
she was the light that I’d bless
she took my last chance at happiness
So God give me strength, God give me strength
