Nothin'
All Lyrics

when it adds up to nothin'
When everything that once mattered in the relationship has amounted to nothing

It makes you wonder why you try
It leaves one questioning the point of continuing to put in effort

Stunned and numb left wondering why when
Feeling confused and unable to process why things turned out the way they did

The truth is cruel, the lies turn white
The harsh reality is difficult to accept, while the lies told to ease the pain become transparent

I called and couldn't reach you, I got too hung up
Attempts were made to connect and reconcile, but they were unsuccessful, and one became too emotionally invested

I'm a phase that you've outgrown
Realizing that they were just a temporary part of the other person's life, and that person has since moved on

Lying in the darkness all alone
Feeling isolated and abandoned while trying to process the relationship's end

You got a fake i.d. and somewhere else to be with someone who isn't me
The other person has disengaged from the relationship and is off enjoying a new life and relationship with someone else

Tell yourself it meant something
Pretending that the relationship had a significance that it likely did not have

Used to mean a lot to me
Reflecting on how important the relationship was at one point in time

Something died, just the pain survived
Even though the relationship is over, the pain associated with it lingers and remains present

When I got tired of crying I dried my eyes
The artist has come to terms with the fact that crying over the relationship's end is no longer productive, so they have wiped away their tears and moved on

Burn the bridges that you must,
Letting go of relationships that are no longer beneficial or healthy

Past to ashes, trust to dust, empty loneliness and lust
Acknowledging that trust has been broken, and what is left are only feelings of loneliness and desire

Love wasn't enough, trust wasn't enough
Despite feelings of love and trust existing in the relationship, they were not enough to overcome the unique challenges of that relationship

I believed what you said was true, ever always only you
Having had faith in the other person's promises and believing that the relationship was exceptional

Just another broken trust, nothing's forever
Coming to terms with the fact that broken promises have led to the relationship's end and recognizing that nothing is permanent

I believe what you said was true
Trust was put in the other person's words and intentions

It wasn't enough
Despite having faith in the other person's words, that faith was not enough to sustain the relationship

I believe that you meant it too
Believing that the other person's promises were sincere and genuine

It wasn't enough 'cause your promise means nothin'
Regardless of whether the other person's promises were made genuinely, it ultimately did not matter, as the relationship had still reached its inevitable end

Much less than nothin', 'cause you left me with nothing now
The lack of promises fulfilled ultimately feels like something less than nothing and has left one with nothing in the end
