Lyrics
You took my heart and you held it in your mouth
And with a word all my love came rushing out
And every whisper, its the worst,
Emptied out by a single word
There is a hollow in me now
So I put my faith in something unknown
Im living on such sweet nothing
But Im tired of hope with nothing to hold
Im living on such sweet nothing
And its hard to learn
And its hard to love
When youre giving me such sweet nothing
Sweet nothing, sweet nothing
Youre giving me such sweet nothing
It isnt easy for me to let it go
Cause Ive swallowed every single word
And every whisper, every sigh
Eats away this heart of mine
And there is a hollow in me now
So I put my faith in something unknown
Im living on such sweet nothing
But Im tired of hope with nothing to hold
Im living on such sweet nothing
And its hard to learn
And its hard to love
When youre giving me such sweet nothing
Sweet nothing, sweet nothing
Youre giving me such sweet nothing
And its not enough to tell me that you care
When we both know the words are empty air
You give me nothing
Lyrics:
On a cob web afternoon,
In a room full of emptiness
By a freeway I confess
I was lost in the pages of a book full of death;
Reading how well die alone.
And if were good well lay to rest,
Anywhere we want to go.
In your house I long to be;
Room by room patiently,
Ill wait for you there like a stone.
Ill wait for you there alone.
And on my deathbed I will pray to the gods and the angels,
Like a pagan to anyone who will take me to heaven;
To a place I recall, I was there so long ago.
The sky was bruised, the wine was bled, and there you led me on.
