Cannonball Adderley – Nothin' lyrics
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
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 nothin'
Much less than nothin', 'cause you left me with nothing now
