Nothin' - Cannonball Adderley

when it adds up to nothin'\nIt makes you wonder why you try\nStunned and numb left wondering why when\nThe truth is cruel, the lies turn white\nI called and couldn’t reach you, I got too hung up\nI’m a phase that you’ve outgrown,\nLying in the darkness all alone\nYou got a fake i.d. and somewhere else to be with someone who isn’t me\nTell yourself it meant something,\nUsed to mean a lot to me\nSomething died, just the pain survived\nWhen I got tired of crying i dried my eyes\nBurn the bridges that you must,\nPast to ashes, trust to dust, empty loneliness and lust\nLove wasn’t enough, trust wasn’t enough\nI believed what you said was true, ever always only you\nJust another broken trust, nothing’s forever\nI believe what you said was true\nIt wasn’t enough\nI believe that you meant it too\nIt wasn’t enough 'cause your promise means nothin'\nMuch less than nothin', 'cause you left me with nothing now
