I Have Nothing
Vonzell Solomon Lyrics

The lyrics to Vonzell Solomon's 'I Have Nothing', beautifully captures the essence of a deep and unconditional love for someone that transcends time and space. The lyrics suggest that the person who the song is addressed to has the ability to see right through the singer and break down their walls with the strength of their love. This suggests that the singer has been guarded and has not opened up to people in the past, but this person has the ability to make them feel safe and comfortable to do so.

The lyrics also reveal the fear the singer has of losing this person. The line "I don't really need to look very much further, I don't wanna have to go where you don't follow" implies that the singer feels like they have found their home in this person, and without them, they are lost. The line "Can't run from myself, there's nowhere to hide" further highlights the depth of the singer's feelings, and that no matter how hard they try to escape from their emotions, they cannot.

The chorus of the song is particularly powerful in its simplicity, and it demonstrates the all-consuming love that the singer has for this person. The lines "Don't make me close one more door, I don't wanna hurt anymore, stay in my arms if you dare, must I imagine you there?" demonstrate the desperation that the singer feels, and their fear of losing this person. The repetition of the word 'nothing' in the line "I have nothing, nothing, nothing if I don't have you" emphasises the immense value that the singer places on this person, and that they are willing to give up everything for them.
