Nothin'
Nothin'
In the beginning
Nothing
Was really wrong
You got to know me
Just a little bit better
And then you were gone
You said you loved me
And you won't forgive me
And then you were gone
And I was so happy
I'm no longer willing to have you home
And I was so grateful
We can pick up the pieces and carry on
In the beginning
Nothin' really was ever wrong
Guess you got to know me a little bit better
'Cause then you were gone
Never doubting
Always faithful
He returns
Said he love me that he won't forgive me
And then he was gone
I'm so happy I'm no longer willing
Have him home
I'm so grateful that I can pick up the pieces
We can move along
'Cause in the beginning
Nothing really could ever be wrong
Then you get to know her just a little bit better
And then we were all gone
I'm so happy I'm no longer willing
To have him home
I'm so grateful we can pick up the pieces and move along
