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 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 my shirt
See, I'm only human, I want her to hurt
I want her
I want her 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
Wipe her from my memory
I might as well
God give me strength
God give me strength
I might as well
'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
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
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
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
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 my shirt
See, I'm only human, I want her to hurt
I want her
I want her to hurt
That there could ever be a happy ending
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 might as well
God give me strength
God give me strength
I might as well

This was written with Burt Bacharach for the movie "Grace of My Heart." Illeana Douglas sings it in the movie. It's the story of a Carole King-esque song writer and her odyssey through love and the music business in the 60's.
It sounds like he is singing I want “him” to hurt.
