You took my heart and you held it in your mouth And with a word all my love came rushing out And every whisper; it's the worst, emptied out by a single word There's a hollow in me now It isn't easy for me to let it go Cause, I've swallowed every single word And, every whisper, every sigh Eats away this heart of mine And there is a hollow in me now So I'll put faith in something I know I'm living on such sweet nothing But I'm tired of hope with nothing to hold I'm living on such sweet nothing And it's hard to learn And it's hard to love If you're giving me such sweet nothing Sweet nothing, sweet nothing You're giving me How am I gonna be an optimist about this? How am I gonna be an optimist about this? If you close your eyes, does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
