Burt Bacharach & Elvis Costello God Give Me Strength lyrics

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 anythin' 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 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

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