Nasri Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It doesn't make sense
There's nothing nothing nothing
No spark in your eyes
No passion or pride
There's nothing nothing nothing
How could somebody so beautiful be so sad?
Can you tell me what does he do to you to feel like that?
'Cause I would never
Never, no no no
No, I would never
Never
No, I'm not a psychic but you can't deny it
That you deserve better
And I'm not a genius but I know you feel it
That you deserve better
I know there's a reason
Why my heart is beating
When we are together
You don't gotta say it
Just know that I'm waiting for you
It tears me apart
To know that your heart
Gets nothing nothing nothing
(It gets nothing, no)
No reason to dream
No sense of belief
There's nothing nothing nothing
Tell me how could somebody so beautiful be so sad?
Can you tell me what does he do to you to feel like that
Like that
'Cause I would never
Never, no no
No, I would never
Never
No, I'm not a psychic but you can't deny it
That you deserve better
You deserve better
And I'm not a genius but I know you feel it
That you deserve better
I know there's a reason
Why my heart is beating
When we are together
You don't gotta say it
Just know that I'm waiting for you
You look at me with love in your eyes
You look through me
You can't walk away
That's not a mistake
There's something something something
It's only a sin if you stay with him, my love
My love
No, I'm not a psychic but you can't deny it
That you deserve better
And I'm not a genius but I know you feel it
That you deserve better
I know there's a reason
Why my heart is beating
When we are together
You don't gotta say it
Just know that I'm waiting for you

I saw him today at house of blues in LA and unlike most artists nowadays, he is actually better live. You can tell he puts his heart into his music.

When I was in my young 20s, I was married and I played this over and over and this song helped me realize that I had to let my ex go. Thank you for this song. Now I’m in a happy relationship and we have a beautiful 4 yro boy. I’m the lyrics to this song captivated how I felt back when I was 24. I felt like a mannequin with no say on anything and ignored. It was such a horrible time but I’m glad I went through it because I’m so grateful for what I have now and my fiance actually sees me.
