"Nothin'" lyrics

"Nothin'"

When it adds up to nothing
It makes you wonder why you try
Stunned and numb, left wondering why
When the truth is cruel, the lies turn white

I called and couldn't reach you
I got too hung up
I'm a phase that you've outgrown
Lying in the darkness all alone

You got a fake ID
And somewhere else to be
With someone who isn't me

Tell yourself it meant something
Used to mean a lot to me
Something died, just the pain survived
When I got tired of crying I dried my eyes
Burn the bridges that you must
Past to ashes, trust to dust
Empty loneliness and lust

Love wasn't enough
Trust wasn't enough

I believed what you said was true
Ever always only you
Just another broken trust
Nothing's forever

I believe what you said was true
It wasn't enough
I believe that you meant it too
It wasn't enough
'Cause your promise means nothing
Much less than nothing
'Cause you left me with nothing now
