Lyrics
I Am 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.
You, traffic on the line
Strangers all around
Nothing here but time
I don't see a sound
Floating high above
Every little town
People who can love
Please don't leave me now
I am nothing
Please don't leave me out
I am nothing
You, coursing through my veins
Pulsing every pound
Panic on parade
Cutting through the crowd
Music fills my brain
I know I let you down
Take me back again
Please don't leave me now
I am nothing
Please don't leave me out
I am nothing
You, footsteps on the floor
Do they make a sound
Open up the door
Please don't leave me now
