God Give Me Strength Lyrics - Painted From Memory - Elvis Costello

Now I have nothing 

So God give me strength 

'cos I'm weak anyway 

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 

Photos 

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
