Nothing Gained
Marie Pierre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Said that you loved me
Told me that you cared
And I even thought that you
Should be the one with whom
My love would be shared
But you hurt me, you hurt me
Broke my heart
These scars don′t show
Even though you tore my soul apart
And there's been nothing gained
There′s been nothing gained from loving you
So I'd just like to say that we are through
I don't wanna be in love with you no more,
Oh no
My
Heart was in your hands (Your hands)
But it didn′t mean a thing to you
Oh you′ve been so unkind
You shut me out your mind
And made me a shadow
I've lost all my feelings For you it seems
With you I′ve no purpose There's no hope for us
Though I′m waiting for my key
(CHORUS)
In the song "Nothing Gained" by Marie Pierre, the singer expresses her disillusionment with a former lover who had promised to love and care for her, but ultimately hurt her and broke her heart.

The singer laments the fact that despite all the love she had offered, nothing had been gained from the experience, and she decides to end the relationship.
The lyrics of the song reflect the emotional pain that comes with a broken heart and the difficulty of moving on from a bad relationship. The song expresses the feeling of being used and left with nothing to show for it, despite having invested so much love and time. The singer's decision to end the relationship shows her strength and self-respect, as she refuses to continue loving someone who cannot reciprocate her feelings.
