God Give Me Strength Songtext
von Elvis Costello with 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 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 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
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 at happiness

So God give me strength
God give me strength


Wipe her from my memory
I might as well
God give me strength
I might as well
