I Ain't Got 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.
When I come down and all my money is spent
Try as I may I don't know where it went.
For the good times and all the fun that I had
Just can't remember when I felt so bad.
It don't make no sense and it seems so odd
And it makes me wonder if there's a god...
I ain't got nothing, After the fall
I ain't got nothing, I got no one to call
I ain't got nothing, Feeling so small
I ain't got nothing, nothing, nothing at all
This is not how the end should have come
Who could have imagined this when I was young?
Where is everybody? It's not the way I wanted it to be.
But the paths I took, they are all outgrown.
The party's over, I'm all alone.
I ain't got nothing, After the fall
I ain't got nothing, Feeling so small
I ain't got nothing, I got no one to call
I ain't got nothing, nothing, I got nothing at all
All the magic, it's all that I knew
Just disappearing hasn't left a clue
No one's talking on my behalf
Hearing the silence as I pour some laughs.
There was a time, I could have cried
Heeded my feelings, crawled up and died.
I ain't got nothing, After the fall
I ain't got nothing, I got no one to call
I ain't got nothing, Against the wall
Now ain't that something, nothing, I got nothing at all.
