God Give Me Strength

Elvis Costello


Now I have nothing, So God give me strength
'Cos I'm weak anyway, And if I'm strong I might still break
And I don't have anything to share, That I won't 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 of happiness
So God give me strength, God give me strength

I can't hold on to her, God give me strength
When the phone doesn't ring and I'm 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 of 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, I'm 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 of happiness
So God give me strength
God give me strength
