Nothing

    (April 1998)

    you’re standing here beside me
    and we’re holding each other close
    when people see us tomorrow
    I’ll be wearing the same clothes

    and now you’re in bed beside me
    and your eyes are full of tears
    you’re screaming at me to let go
    as I’m fulfilling all your fears

    all my things have been returned
    and are put up on the shelf
    because you are not here beside me
    but I’m beside myself

    we held each other through the night
    we did not have a care
    with all the feelings we had found
    that we both could share

    now you’re smiling in my bathroom
    now you’re crying in my bed
    now you’re telling me to shut up
    before more blame is fed

    right now I’m all alone
    now you’re telling me to go
    you’re singing in my ear
    we’re going to the show

    we’re going for a walk
    along the beach hand in hand
    I’m too strong to be dragged down
    but too weak to make a stand

    I see you smiling at me now
    I see you crying on the floor
    I see us lost in our own worlds
    crying out for something more

    I’m telling you I want you
    I don’t want to lose you
    knowing that I will
    with nothing I can do

    I’m looking at your picture
    I’m feeling your face
    longing for the warmth
    that is gone without a place
