Nothin'

When it adds up to nothin'
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 i.d.
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.

urn 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 nothin'
much less than nothing',
'cause you left me with nothing now
