You Give Me Nothing

At times I look at life so hard, I wonder why I played that card
I reach out for a hand to help me, But all I get is broken candy
And the skies above are all greyed over, I think I lost my four leaf clover
Now I know what it feels like to be broken, From all the things that are left unspoken

But I have one thing to say to you

You give me nothing, You fail to see it
You give me nothing, I can guarantee it
You took away the best of me
And left me in my own disease
So I have one thing left to say to you

You Give Me Nothing

The trees all lose their leaves right now, And you damaged me the same somehow
I give up fighting my worst fears, and collapse into this lake of tears
The sea has changed from Blue to Red, I can't escape my pounding head
A life that's fallen in distress, My heart is starting to compress


But I have one thing to say to you

You give me nothing, You fail to see it
You give me nothing, I can guarantee it
You took away the best of me
And left me in my own disease
So I have one thing left to say to you

You Give Me Nothing

The star I wished upon has died, I find it hard to swallow pride
The icicles are forming fast, It's never easy when nothing lasts
Diamonds crack and break like glass, You took away all their class
It seems you made the lightning too, To strike me down just like you do

But I have one thing to say to you

You give me nothing, You fail to see it
You give me nothing, I can guarantee it
You took away the best of me
And left me in my own disease
So I have one thing left to say to you

You Give Me Nothing

The Thinker

I think about how all the things could have been
I lie awake dreaming of what I have seen
Thoughts roll around inside my head
I sleep wide awake all comfy in bed

I think about what it was like at the start
And how it feels now deep in my heart
I picture the scenes in my mind far away
I pull up the duvet determined to stay

I think of the time I've wasted with thoughts
The sleep I've denied myself with answers I've sought
A yawn in the morning is all that will show
That I have been dreaming awake again yes I know

I think of the passions and Turmoils life brings
Each thought battles the next onto each one I cling
But somehow another will pop into my head
Sleep postponed again as again I'm mislead

I think of how nice it would be just to sleep
To drift right away quiet and discreet
But I am a thinker my mind won't refrain
And this is why I dream awake once again
