I Have Nothing
Shannon Magrane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause I'll never change all my colors for you
Take my love, I'll never ask for too much
Just all that you are and everything that you do
I don't really need to look very much further
I don't want to have to go where you don't follow
I won't hold it back again, this passion inside
Don't make me close one more door
I don't wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Or must I imagine you there
Don't walk away from me
I have nothing, nothing, nothing
If I don't have you, you, you, you, you
You see through, right to the heart of me
You break down my walls with the strength of your love
I never knew love like I've known it with you
Will a memory survive, one I can hold on to
I don't really need to look very much further
I don't want to have to go where you don't follow
I won't hold it back again, this passion inside
I can't run from myself, there's nowhere to hide
Your love I'll remember forever
Oh, don't make me close one more door
I don't wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Or must I imagine you there
Don't walk away from me
I have nothing, nothing, nothing
Don't make me close one more door
I don't wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Or must I imagine you there
Don't walk away from me, no
Don't walk away from me
Don't you dare walk away from me
I have nothing, nothing, nothing
If I don't have you, you
If I don't have you, oh you
The lyrics to Shannon Magrane's song "I Have Nothing" speak about the unyielding nature of true love. The song starts off with a plea to "share my life, take me for what I am," which suggests that the person singing the song is looking for a partner who will accept them just as they are. The phrase "I'll never change all my colors for you" suggests that the singer is unwilling to compromise their identity or personality for the sake of a relationship. Instead, they want their partner to love them for who they are.
Throughout the rest of the song, the singer emphasizes the depth of their feelings for their partner. They express that they don't need to look any further for love because they have found everything they're looking for in their partner. They also say that they can't run from themselves and that there's nowhere to hide because their love is too strong.
The most emotional part of the song comes in the chorus, where the singer pleads with their partner to stay with them. They say "Don't make me close one more door, I don't wanna hurt anymore" implying that they need their partner's presence in their life to feel complete. They then repeat the phrase "I have nothing" multiple times, emphasizing the idea that without their partner, they feel empty and incomplete.
Overall, "I Have Nothing" is a powerful ballad about the all-consuming nature of love and the importance of having a partner who accepts you for who you are.

She's getting ready to release a new single and original entitled "Go!" She just sang at my church in Clearwater, Florida and it was absolutely fantastic! She also sang the Celine Dion Andrea Bocelli's duet of "The Prayer" with another super talented singer from my church's praise band Crosswinds, Scott Hamilton! The highlight of the show! Met her afterwards, very gracious and very beautiful!
@kaartenim
No, age's got nothing to do with it, you either have the talent or you're simply a sweetheart who can carry a tune and that's just not enough in a competition like this. I have heard 15yo girls nail this song,w/ depth that reaches out and touches the audience's emotions--which is essentially what good music does. Nor is the fact that the song was 'too big' for her. You can't make excuses like that when you're competing;flubbing a note is still flubbing a note. Unfortunate, but true.
@wetpaintify
why do I feel like she's not dressed for the song? That look is so pop.
@ELHIJODEZOILA
I think she is the complete package. She only need more exposure. It is unfair to compare her to Jessica(The best & my favorite, so far). Why not ? If I understand correctly, she an excellent student, practice sport regularly & volunteer in the community. Jessica, practically has been groomed to be a singer since she was wearing diapers (nothing wrong w/that). That's not the case with Shannon. Her parents has the vision and the means to provide more options for her. I admire them x that.
@themanmb
I just heard you on the Drew Garabo show in Tampa.
LOD.
@ericvssl
Clearly Jessica will nail it cos the girl can sing with pitch perfect and her vocal skills is beyond at her age :)
@leostan03711
melanie amaro nailed it effortless and her version was sooo emotional.
@davidcausejo
She used (almost) the same arrangement as Kat McPhee did in AI5.
@forreal431
Shannon poor girl,sometimes our family can push us out there to fast ,let her mature more,that baby is not ready for this..
@davidj1210
Can you imagine the contestants fright when they were told that they had to perform Whitney songs? Those are the hardest songs to sing.
