Nothing


[2005]
Nothing

It's not like I doodle your name in a heart
It's not like the sound of your voice makes me start

It's not like I cry in my pillow at night
Telling myself that you’re not worth the fight
Telling myself, yeah, I'll be alright
Squeezing the bear that you gave me so tight
Trying so hard with all of my might
Telling myself, yeah, I'll be alright

You're nothing to me
I'm proud to say
You're nothing to me
So just go away
You're nothing to me
You're nothing at all
So don’t even catch me
The next time I fall

It's not like your pictures are still on my wall
It's not like I think of you- ever- at all
It's not like I kept all those theatre stubs
It's not like I miss all those kisses and hugs

Did you hear when I said you mean nothing to me?
Initials mean nothing when carved in a tree

It's not like I cringe when I see you with her
You're nothing to me and I know it for sure
It's not like these words that I've said are untrue
It's more like I'm deeply…still…so in love with you
