Nothing To Lose
Terror Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm lost and alone
Drained and I'm broke
Numb and in shame
Unloved and betrayed

Nothing to lose

Heart grows hard
Empty and scarred
Neglected, abandoned

Nothing to lose

Nothing to take
Nothing to break




Nothing is left
Already I'm dead
