God Give Me Strength Songtext
von Elvis Costello & Burt Bacharach

Now i have nothing, so god give me strength
′cause i'm weak in her wake
And if i′m strong i might still brea
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 at happiness
So god give me strength, god give me strength

I can′t hold onto 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 at happiness
So god give me strength

(bridge)
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 my shirt
See, i'm only human, i want her to hurt
I want her
I want her to hurt

[instrumental]

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
