NOTHING AT ALL By Tom Jensen
You walked up to me
With my clothes in your hands
We had a conversation about things
Only I could understand
Not a tear I did see
For I kept my eyes closed
The way in which I feel
I'm the only one who knows
You begged and pleaded from your knees
Every other word I heard was please
Please don't you go away
Please, please
Don't you leave me this way
Only I knew that our fate was sealed
I kept my eyes closed
So that nothing was revealed
Some day all your wounds will heal
Some day I will tell you how I really feel...
I once asked you to save me from myself
Though soon I learned
That you can't leave that up
To anyone else
I asked you to change your ways
Though soon I realized
That some colors won't fade
The only one to help me is myself
For sometimes some things
Cannot be entrusted to someone else
Your inspiration was once my soul
But soon your hatred was for me
And the love I stole
You thought I'd take your heart
And keep it forever
But in this world of uncertainty
You can never say never
So many red-eyed days
So many nights filled with unrest
I was finally forced to realize
This may be too great a test
So many sleepless nights
And soon daydreams of another's face
I knew I couldn't stay
While wishing I was in some other place
Your heart's filled with gold
Yet your eyes are so cold
And the mirror which you hold
Reflects the face of no one at all
Your weakness often showed
And soon the time grew old
As no dream I had was too bold
The ceiling of our love was bound to fall
No regrets
Though memory will not soon forget
Myself I found
Now there are no more chains
To hold me down
There must be some reason
That it turned out this way
But I know right now
There's not one that I could say
I loved you once
And you will find love again
There is no better message
That I can send
Maybe I shouldn't have made you
Feel so tall
Maybe all your problems I couldn't solve
Sleep well knowing I am sorry
For the pain I've caused
Just know it's better feeling pain
Than feeling nothing at all
