My Favorite Nothing

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

My favorite nothing loved me so

And I'd trick him, he'd treat me

In the end I let go

I never found him worth my time

How selfish, when he'd give his life for mine

He even tried to make a new start

Around the time I said we needed time apart

I knew that sticks and stones would break your bones

But I didn't know my words would break your heart

I can't believe love just passed me by

I can't believe I just looked love right in the eyes

I can't believe love just passed me by

I can't believe love just passed me by

See I've been hurt too many times before

I thought that you were going to hurt me too

Love lifts me up then brings me down, down, down

I really wish you were around — and now you're gone

I never gave you what was due you

I ended up just doing me

I wanted to apologize to you

But now it's too late

Because you're six feet under me

I met a boy one day

Messed up and broke his heart

He won't come back to me

He's so far gone, you see

I can't believe love just passed me by

I can't believe I just looked love right in the eyes

I can't believe love just passed me by

I can't believe love just passed me by

See I've been hurt too many times before

I thought that you were going to hurt me too

Your love lifts me up and then it brings me down

How I wish you were around
