Elvis Costello
God Give Me Strength
Now I have nothing
So God give me strength
'Cause I'm weak in his wake
And if I'm strong, I might still break
And I don't have anything to spare
That I won't throw away into the air

That song is sung out
This bell is rung out
He was the light that I blessed
He took my last chance at happiness
God give me strength
God give me strength

I can't hold on to him
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 he'd grant me his indulgence and decline
I might as well wipe him from my memory
Fracture the spell as he 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
God give me strength

That song is sung out
This bell is rung out
He was the light that I blessed
He took my last chance at happiness
God give me strength
God give me strength
God give me strength
God
