Nothing

This song is about heartbreak. Not let’s-decide-to-break-up heartbreak but the kind where your heart isn’t just broken, it’s ripped out of your body. Without you, I’m not me.

Lyrics: Melynda Milman. Music: Melynda Milman, David de Geus

Lyrics

[verse] if I were a house alone on a hill fence all around me wind rattling the window sill I’d be in ruin though once I stood strong walls caving in collapsed before long [verse] if I were a tree my roots will have risen my branches all bare my birdhouse a prison the seasons would leave me alone and unmoved my willow is weeping with no one to soothe [chorus] cause I’m nothing no I’m nothing I am nothing nothing without you no, I’m nothing I am nothing no I’m nothing nothing without you [verse] if I were the sea I’d swell in this storm capsize your heart make you cold when it’s warm my waves would be tidal and anger the moon whirlpools of sadness you’d be drowning soon [chorus] cause I’m nothing no I’m nothing I am nothing nothing without you no, I’m nothing I am nothing no I’m nothing nothing without you [bridge] I once was a mansion a proud oak a tranquil sea I used to have riches that were not lost on me [chorus] cause I’m nothing no I’m nothing I am nothing nothing without you no, I’m nothing I am nothing no I’m nothing nothing without you
