God Give Me Strength Lyrics by Elvis Costello

God Give Me Strength Lyrics

    (words sung by the character in the movie given in brackets)
    Now i have nothing, so god give me strength
    'cause i'm weak in her [his] 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 [this belle is wrung out]
    [he] she was the light that i'd bless
    [he] she took my last chance at happiness
    So god give me strength, god give me strength

    I can't hold onto [him] 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
    [he] she was the light that i'd bless
    [he] she took my last chance at happiness
    So god give me strength,

    God if [he'd] she'd grant me [his] her indulgence and decline
    I might as well wipe [him] her from my memory
    Fracture the spell as [he] 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

    [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
    [he] she was the light that i'd bless
    [he] she took my last chance at happiness
    So god give me strength, god give me strength
