Nothing Compares 2 U
Me First and the Gimme Gimmes Lyrics

been seven hours and fifteen days
It's been a really long time, 7 hours and 15 days to be exact, since you left me and took your love away.

Since you took your love away
Ever since you took your love away, I've been feeling down and not myself.

I go out every night and sleep all day
I find it hard to cope with the pain, so I go out every night and just sleep all day.

Since you been gone I can do whatever I want
Now that you're gone, I can do whatever I want without having to worry about what you'll think.

I can see whomever I choose
I'm free to see anyone that I want to see.

I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
I can even eat at fancy restaurants, but it doesn't bring me any joy because nothing compares to what we had.

But nothing
No matter what I do, there's still this void in my life because you're not here.

Nothing can take away these blues
No amount of anything can take away the sadness and loneliness that I feel now that you're gone.

'Cause nothing compares
Nothing in this world could ever compare to the love I had for you.

It's been so lonely without you here
Being alone without you here has made me feel incredibly lonely.

Like a bird without a song
I feel like a bird without a song, like there's nothing left in the world for me.

Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
No matter what I do, my tears keep falling because I miss you so much.

Tell me baby, where did I go wrong?
I can't help but wonder where I went wrong and what caused you to leave me.

I can put my arms around every boy I see
I can try to move on and put my arms around every boy I see, but I'll always be reminded of you.

But they'd only remind me, remind me of you
No matter how hard I try, they'll always remind me of you and what we had.

I went to the doctor and guess what he told me
I tried to seek professional help, went to the doctor even, but he couldn't help me feel any better.

Guess what he told me
He told me that I should try to have fun no matter what I do, but that's easier said than done.

But he's a fool
I don't think the doctor has any idea how I'm feeling and what I'm going through. He's a fool.

All the flowers that you planted, mama
I still remember all the flowers you planted in the backyard, mama.

In the backyard
The backyard was always such a special place to us and so full of beautiful memories.

All died when you went away
But when you left, all those beautiful flowers died too, leaving nothing but emptiness behind.

I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard
I know that living with you wasn't always easy, but it was worth it because I loved you so much.

But I'm willing to give it another try
Even though we had our struggles, I'm willing to try again and make it work because nothing else compares to what we had.

Nothing compares
Absolutely nothing in this world could ever compare to the way I feel about you and the love we shared.

Nothing compares to you
There's no one else in this world who could ever compare to you or take your place in my heart.
