Nothing At All
Brandyn Burnette Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is more than love, This is devotion
Wasn't only you that cuts me open
We've been diving deeper than the ocean
Yes, Im just a slave to my emotions
You might be bad for my health
But i can do bad by myself (yea)
Baby we're a dying breed
Screaming but we never speak

All i see is red, fire inside my head
Give me something or then nothing, nothing at all
Bullets on our breath
Target on my chest
Give me something or then nothing, nothing at all

I cant get whether this is worth it
Why's it always fucked up when it's perfect
We'll confess our sins behind a curtain
Guess i only give what i'm deserving
I don't need anyone else
I can climb into myself (yea)
Baby we're a memory
Screaming but we never speak

All i see is red, fire inside my head
Give me something or then nothing, nothing at all
Bullets on our breath
Target on my chest
Give me something or then nothing, nothing at all

Don't make me tired
Drowning in desire
You've stopped feeling but i'm still breathing
You can see i'm reckless
Every words a temptress and i keep bleeding but your still leaving




All i see is red, fire inside my head
Give me something or then nothing, nothing at all
