Nothing At All

1. You at the counter making change
I’d hold my paycheck in my hand
And tease that your hair looks kind of strange
Then give you everything I had.
You’d say try not to spend it in one place
I’d say I already have.

Chorus1:
My book was open my secrets all spoken
I had the notion that we would not fall
You made no promise no vow to be broken but
I can’t believe it was nothing, no, nothing at all.

2. I keep on going to our place
Thinking that you’re just in a phase
It’s something I just have to face
To stop wasting all these days
Hardly a reason for these tears
There was no promise anyway.

Repeat Chorus1

Bridge:
My demon sings me his song
As I look hard for a soft place to fall
How could I be so wrong
That you could feel nothing, no, nothing at all?

3. Can’t find a thing that isn’t wrong
Life without you has turned so pale
Paid you with secrets and a song
(That) tells of a grim old fairy tale.
Hardly a reason for these tears
There was no promise anyway.

Chorus2:
My heart laid open my secrets all spoken
It shouldn’t be painful with so short a fall
You made no promise no vow to be broken but
I can’t believe it was nothing, no, nothing at all.
Repeat Chorus1
It shouldn’t mean nothing, no, nothing, no, nothing at all.
