God Give Me Strength

[donheld]

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

2. My dear donheld......

This is such a melancholy little song......

Are you living these lyrics? Or do you just like them?

Hope all is well with you!

3. I suppose a little of both

I do love that song and Elvis' performance, but right now I need all the strength I can muster. With sleep deprivation, work drama and the country going to hell.
