Nothing Left to Lose
Kari Kimmel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You'd know that I belong with you
And in this love never defeated
Living, dying here for you
And everyday seems it will never end
I fall asleep to wake and it starts over again
And every night to think of you
And empty seems to last forever
But I guess I've got nothing left to lose
Nothing left to lose
Oooohhhh yeaahhhh
I gave my heart while it was beating
And handed it over to you
And it was so beautiful when it was needed
And know it's all messed up and left in ruins
Now every day seems longer than the last
And all the faces come and go but nothing heals the past
I've got all the time in the world
And every night to think of you
And empty seems to last forever
But I guess I've got nothing left to lose
Nothing left to lose
Ohhhh nothing, nothing, nothing left to lose
Nothing, nothing, nothing left to lose
In Kari Kimmel's Nothing Left to Lose, the lyrics speak of a love that is both bittersweet and heart-wrenching. The singer is deeply in love with someone, but is struggling to make things work. She believes that they belong together and that their love is never defeated, but despite this, the relationship is falling apart. The sadness and despair that come with each day seem to never end, and despite efforts to move on, the singer is unable to forget about her love. The chorus, where Kimmel sings "I've got all the time in the world and every night to think of you, and empty seems to last forever, but I guess I've got nothing left to lose" is a poignant reminder that the singer has come to accept that the love she once had is gone, and yet, despite this, she continues to hold on.
Line by Line Meaning
If you could know what I was feelin'
If only you could truly understand the emotions that I am experiencing
You'd know that I belong with you
You would recognize that we are meant to be together
And in this love never defeated
Our love will always endure, unbroken and unconquered
Living, dying here for you
I would give my all for you, even if it means sacrificing everything else
And everyday seems it will never end
Each new day feels interminable and never-ending
I fall asleep to wake and it starts over again
The day-to-day routine seems to repeat itself without end, with no break or interruption in sight
I've got all the time in the world
I have an abundance of time and nothing but time to devote to thinking about you
And every night to think of you
Each night is filled with contemplation of you and our love for each other
And empty seems to last forever
The feeling of emptiness and longing is never ending and constantly present
But I guess I've got nothing left to lose
I have already sacrificed everything for our love, so I have nothing more to lose
Ohhhh nothing, nothing, nothing left to lose
I have absolutely nothing remaining, no possessions or personal identity, as my love for you has consumed everything
