The Nothing I Sing About
To Be Juliet's Secret Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You stole my breath, then took a step
I gave it all, you still want more
You stole my breath and took a step
I gave it all
Just give my heart back
And I don't know what you're thinking
I don't know what to say
We're the mistake that people learn from today
You say I push and I pull
I'm pushing you out
If you won't go, I'll turn my back on you now
I don't know what you're thinking
I don't know what to say
We're the mistake that people learn from today
You say I push and I pull
I'm pushing you out
If you won't go, I'll turn my back on
I'll turn my back on you now
You hold something so dear to me
Can't go without, so just give mine
Just give mine back
Just give mine back
You hold something so dear to me
Can't go without, so just give mine
Just give mine back
Just give mine back
Where did I mess up?
Where did we fall apart?
Was it something to do with me?
I can't sing this song
Cause we're nothing
The Nothing I Sing About
Where did I mess up?
Where did we fall apart?
Was it something to do with me?
And I can't sing this song
Cause we're nothing
The Nothing I Sing About
Where did I mess up?
Where did we fall apart?
Was it something to do with me?
And I can't sing this song
Cause we're nothing
The Nothing I Sing About
(Oh nothing)
The Nothing I Sing About




(Oh nothing)
The Nothing I Sing About

TBJS cannot possibly love me more. I love you guys so much and you inspire me to continue with songwriting and give me hope for my every day life. The music, the vocals, the lyrics... I love everything about your music. I still remember when I stumbled upon your Myspace page ever so long ago, I was so happy to find music with talent and feeling behind it. I was sad because I couldn't find much of your music on youtube, and now it's EVERYWHERE. Sorry for rambling, but Amethyst loves YOU more!
