Nothing Compares 2U
SINEAD O_CONNOR Lyrics

It's been seven hours and fifteen days
It has been an excruciatingly long time since you deserted me.

Since you took your love away
Ever since your love departed, there has been a void in my life.

I go out every night and sleep all day
I am going out every night to avoid loneliness and sleeping all day feeling utterly withdrawn.

Since you took your love away
The void is still present after you left me.

Since you been gone I can do whatever I want
Now that you are away, I have the power to do anything or see anyone that pleases me.

I can see whomever I choose
I have the freedom to choose the people I want to spend time with.

I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
I can dine in expensive restaurants, indicating my financial strength and ability to afford luxuries.

But nothing
But no amount of wealth or freedom can alter the impact of my broken heart.

I said nothing can take away these blues
The weight of depression has been with me since you left, and nothing can relieve me from it.

'Cause nothing compares
Because nothing possesses the same importance as you did in my life.

Nothing compares to you
There is no one who can replace the role and importance you had in my life.

It's been so lonely without you here
I feel isolated in my solitude since you left.

Like a bird without a song
A bird's existence without a song is as pointless as my life without you.

Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Tears roll down my cheeks despite everything I do to stop them, even all the happiness and comfort provided by others.

Tell me baby where did I go wrong
Please enlighten me and tell me what fatal mistake I made that led to your departure.

I could put my arms around every boy I see
I could settle for any guy as a replacement, but my heart refuses to be fooled.

But they'd only remind me of you
Every guy's qualities only remind me of qualities that you embodied.

I went to the doctor, guess what he told me
I took the pain to the doctor to find a solution.

Guess what he told me
Do you imagine what was his advice?

He said girl you better try to have fun no matter what you do
He prescribed me to try to have fun no matter what I do.

But he's a fool
But the doctor's advice is useless since my heart refuses to accept that it's over.

'Cause nothing compares, nothing compares to you
My life is incomplete because nothing is as good as having you around.

All the flowers that you planted mama
The flowers you lovingly grew in our backyard.

In the back yard
The place of our home where you used to grow the flowers.

All died when you went away
Their death was inevitable since you alone had the heart and skills needed to nurture them.

I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard
I am well aware that our relationship had its share of difficulties.

But I'm willing to give it another try
Despite the challenges we faced before, I remain devoted to you and ready to try again.

Nothing compares
No other love, passion, hobby, or interest can measure up to the meaning you hold in my life.

Nothing compares to you
My life is boring and meaningless without you, making me miserable with every passing day.

Nothing compares
The moment you left amplified the importance and significance of your past presence around me.

Nothing compares to you
Your absence created a void in my life that nothing can ever fill.
