Nothing

Oh my head sure feels heavy but I don’t know why that’s so
‘Cause I never picked it up and I am always letting go
I am always letting go
I forgot to call you back, my everlasting shame
I was focused on myself so I rarely spoke your name
I too rarely spoke your name

Now the whole world’s made of nothing
‘Cause there’s nothing I can say, nothing I can do,
nothing I believe, and nothing left for you

I can’t ask another question
about who you are and where you’re from
Did you forget to mention something grand that you had done?
Can’t we pour another one?
Oh mother, I know you’re crying, sister’s crying too
Father’s holding back, ‘cause that’s what fathers do
And me I’m coming soon

Mine was the last voice you heard, and I hope you understood
when I said “thank you, I’ll miss you, it’s alright, we’ll be good,
I know you did all that you could”
And then the whole world turned to nothing
‘Cause there was nothing I could say, nothing I could do,
nothing I believed and nothing left for you
