God Give Me Strength (Live)

God Give Me Strength - Elvis Costello

Now I have nothing

So God give me strength

'Cos 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 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
