Nothing Left
Count Me Out Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But i guess it was. forget about it all, put it in the past. yeah, you'll be
Running back. i didn't give up on you, you give up on yourself. there's
Nothing left of what i felt. no emotion there, it's hard to think that i could
Care. now i'm past the point of caring. i was reaching out for you, but you
Just ignored, you ignored it all. i see things different now, you haven't
Changed it all, how much you meant to me, and what i'll never let you
Know. time to let go. i didn't give up on you, you gave up on yourself.
Left to say. don't you feel the same?
The lyrics of "Nothing Left" by Count Me Out are about a failed relationship, where the singer is reflecting on how much effort they put in and how it didn't amount to anything. The line "was it all for nothing?" suggests that the singer is struggling to come to terms with the fact that they invested so much time and energy into the relationship, and yet it still fell apart. The chorus "there's nothing left of what I felt" indicates that the singer has given up trying to salvage the relationship and has moved on from their former emotions.
The second verse shows the singer coming to terms with the situation and realizing that they can't change the other person. The line "I was reaching out for you, but you just ignored it all" shows the extent to which the singer tried to make things work, but ultimately, the other person was not willing to put in the same effort. The line "now I'm past the point of caring" pulls the whole song together, as it reveals that the singer is at a stage where they don't care about the failed relationship anymore.
Overall, "Nothing Left" is a poignant and relatable song about the end of a relationship and how it can be challenging to move on.
