Lyrics
Next to Nothing
(©Allison, Ramsayx2)
Tonight I'm torn in two
standing beside myself
half a man in his birthday suit
wishing I never felt
next to you or next to nothing
now these words mean the same thing
To tear my heart out, you always wanted to
put me there on your shelf
next to all of your books and things
to have me all to yourself
Take a look at what love's shown me
half a man who's fully empty
?
Am I next
Am I next to
Next to nothing
Next to nothing
?
Tonight I lay awake
next to you in your bed
I wonder where you'll be keeping me
what little place in your head
Next to all your other lovers
next to you under the covers
next to you or next to nothing
now these words mean the same thing
br) If there's somewhere you'd rather be
then go there now
And let me leave you behind
If those tears in your eyes are real
you're wasting your time
If not you're wasting mine
