God Give Me Strength - Elvis Costello, Burt Bacharach

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
