It breaks my heart to see you sad

I wish that I could turn this stretch of bad luck that you've had

I go to call you on the phone

I know you're in the dark alone, but my heart turns to stone



'Cause I got nothin', I got nothin'



I wish I had some time to spare

I can't imagine when or where I'll find it, but let's be fair

As badly as you want me to

I cannot change the world, there's only so much I can do



'Cause I got nothin', I got nothin'



Nothing is as nothing does

I can't remember who I was

I used to be so kind and tender

Now I'm on a nothing nowhere bender



Someday I'll turn this wreck around

I'll wear bright colors, make a joyful sound

I'll call you just because sometime

We'll reminisce and say it's fine that I was yours

And you were mine



Won't that be something?

Won't that be something?

At least that's something



But for now

But for now

At least for now, I got nothin'.
