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 is a hollow in me now (me now [x4])
So I'll put my 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
And you're giving me such sweet nothing
Sweet nothing [x2]
You're giving me such sweet nothing
It isn't easy for me to let it go, 'cause
I've swallowed every single word, and
Every whisper, every sigh
Eats away at this heart of mine
That there is a hollow in me now (me now [x4])
So I'll put my 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
And you're giving me such sweet nothing
Sweet nothing [x2]
You're giving me such sweet nothing
And it's not enough
To tell me that you care
When we both know that words are empty air
You give me nothing
