You Gave Me Nothing
Copperpot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can you say the same?
You said you never wanted to see me again,
But you're the one who's calling.
I made you out to be something you're not.
Is your heart still beating?
You're right.
I don't know you.
I wouldn't let you take that away from me.
Chorus:
So take your songs and hide behind your smile.
You gave me nothing but a reason to look harder.
You're as cold as the day I meet you.
Do you think about how great they were?
Cause I'm glad I couldn't be that guy for you.
I'm sorry all you desire is what I wouldn't give.
Chorus: 2x
I'm not bitter.
I can't be angry.
I lost something that never belonged to me.
You Never Belonged to me.
You don't deserve me and God knows I deserve better.
You don't deserve me and God knows, God knows, God knows.
So take your songs and hide behind your smile.
You gave me nothing but a reason to look harder.
So take your songs and hide behind your smile.
You gave me nothing but a reason.

It seems that the person who let the singer down is now trying to reconnect, but the singer is hesitant to let them back into their life.
The line "I made you out to be something you're not. Is your heart still beating?" is particularly poignant.

This line shows that even though the singer has been hurt, they still have empathy for the person who let them down.
The chorus "So take your songs and hide behind your smile. You gave me nothing but a reason to look harder" is a direct message to the person who let the singer down. The singer is telling them to take their facade and hide it away because they see through it. The singer is also thanking them for giving them a reason to look harder. The person's disappointment has given the singer a new perspective and has forced them to examine their own desires and needs.
Overall, "You Gave Me Nothing" is a song about disappointment, hurt, and resilience. The singer has been let down by someone, but instead of being bitter and angry, they have found a way to move on and grow from the experience.
