I Have Nothing
David Foster Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Share my life, take me for what I am
Cause I'll never change all my colours for you
Take my love, I'll never ask for too much
Just all that you are and everything that you do
I don't really need to look very much further
I won't hold it back again, this passion inside
Can't run from myself
There's nowhere to hide
(Your love I'll remember forever)
[Chorus:]
Don't make me close one more door
I don't wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Or must I imagine you there
Don't walk away from me...
I have nothing, nothing, nothing
If I don't have you, you, you, you.
You see through, right to the heart of me
You break down my walls with the strength of you love
I never knew love like I've known it with you
Will a memory survive, one I can hold on to
[Chorus]
The song "I Have Nothing" by David Foster, co-written with Linda Thompson, speaks about a woman's need for her lover to accept her as she is. The lyrics suggest to not change for anyone, and to be loved for who you are. Despite her strong need for her lover, the song also highlights her vulnerability and fear of losing him. She states she doesn't want to have to go where he doesn't follow, indicating that she does not want to face a future without him. The chorus repeats the phrase "I have nothing" four times, hammering home her lack of identity or worth without him in her life. The lyrics then express her wish to stay together and not walk away, as the memory of their love is all that she has.
The song is an emotional ballad that speaks to the heart of anyone who has been in love. The lyrics are powerful and universal, and Celine Dion's rendition of the song in the movie "The Bodyguard" showcased the emotional depth of this song. The song speaks of vulnerability, need, and unconditional love, and highlights that true love is about accepting the other person as they are, flaws and all.
