Nothing Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You don’t call me anymore
And you don’t have to
You don’t need me anymore
And that’s fine
Don’t you love me anymore?
'Cause you used to
Now I’m not even sure I want your time


[Pre-Chorus]
And you say I ask too much of you
But you left nothing

And you say you know the truth
But you know nothing


[Chorus]
And you slept in my bed, rested your head
Said we were for life
You told me I was someone, I was the one
Baby, did you lie?
I was your heart, your shoulder
Yeah, we’re older
But I’m still the same, and I just miss you sometimes...

[Verse 2]
You don’t see me in the way you used to
When did it go away?
I wonder, is it gone?
I don’t want you to stay, I need to not need you
No matter what you say, it just comes out wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
And you say you want me in your life, but
You do nothing
Why don’t you call me up sometime and tell me something?

[Chorus]
And you slept in my bed, rested your head
Said we were for life
You told me I was someone, I was the one
Baby, did you lie?
I was your heart, your shoulder
Yeah, we’re older
But I’m still the same, and I just miss you sometimes...

[Bridge]
And it looks so easy for you to not need me
Was I nothing, nothing at all to you?
Didn’t I make you happy?
Didn’t you say you loved me?
Now that’s nothing, nothing at all to you

[Chorus]
And you slept in my bed, rested your head
Said we were for life
You told me I was someone, I was the one
Baby, did you lie?
I was your heart, your shoulder
We are older
But I’m still the same, and I just miss you sometimes...

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
