Nothing Anymore


It's hard sometimes
It's hard to say
But now I know
Why you went away

You never wanted
You never cared
But the joke's on you
'Cause I'm not there

Everybody knows why
It's really not a surprise

Close your eyes, blow out the candles
Put your pictures on the mantle
Close the lid on the chest
Turn the page in this digest
Because it's nothing anymore
Oh it's nothing anymore

It's hard to deal
It's harder still
We'll drift apart
Or wait until

Until the time
We've realized
That all this love
Was just a lie

Everybody knows why
It's really not a surprise

Close your eyes, blow out the candles
Put your pictures on the mantle
Close the lid on the chest
Turn the page in this digest
Because it's nothing anymore
Oh it's nothing anymore

As I sit here all alone
I won't use the telephone
I'd rather sit here in the dark
Then to bless you with remarks

The time has come and now it's past
I guess the time would never last
The words are strong so they'll stay still
I'll stay quiet and fulfilled

Everybody knows why
It's really not a surprise

Close your eyes, blow out the candles
Put your pictures on the mantle
Close the lid on the chest
Turn the page in this digest
Because it's nothing anymore
Oh it's nothing anymore
