Next to Nothing
Lyrics
I'm done for in this diving bell
I'm running out of breath
I thought if I went deeper
I might find that promised buried treasure
But in your junk aquarium
Where there's hardly water left
I'm drowning in mere inches
But somehow I'm still way out of my depth
Look what you've done to me, baby
Look what you've done
Look what you've done to me, baby
Shatter and fracture, fragments, fractions
I beg for more, you bat your lashes
It's all you're gonna give
So I've learned to live with next to nothing
You left me next to nothing
You left me next to nothing
If you're gonna leave me
Why leave the door ajar
Just shut it and be done with
It's not that hard to change the locks
I'm right outside your candy house
Where the breadcrumb trail was lost
The little you gave I saved and savored
But eventually I'm gonna starve
Look what you've done to me, baby
Look what you've done
Look what you've done to me, baby
Hints and whispers, dirt and dust
Only shreds of evidence of us
But it's all you're gonna give
And I'll learn to live with next to nothing
What's the use
You left me next to nothing
What's the use
You left me next to nothing
Waiting for a handout
Hoping that there's extra
Shrinking like Russian doll
No one understands
Your Cold War architecture
You're another Berlin Wall
I've practiced the act, but I'm still at the back
Of a California cattle call
Was this cathedral always such a dive bar
A shooting gallery where you hang your fine art
Diamonds from a glue gun
A parliament of doll parts
Look what you've done to me
You left me next to nothing
Look what you've done
Look what you've done to me
You left me next to nothing
What's this
You left me next to nothing
Look what you've done
What's this
You left me next to nothing
