The Script - Nothing

(with some editing)

Am I better off dead?
Am I better off a quitter?
They say I'm better off now
Than I ever was with him
As they take me to my local down the street
I'm smiling but I'm dying trying not to drag my feet

They say a few drinks will help me to forget him
But after one too many I know that I'll never
Only they can’t see where this is gonna end
They all think I'm crazy but to me it's perfect sense

And my mates are all there trying to calm me down
'Cause I'm shouting your name all over town
I'm swearing if I go there now
I can change his mind, turn it all around

And I know that I'm drunk but I’ll say the words
And he'll listen this time even though they’re slurred
So I, dialed his number and confessed to him
I'm still in love but all I heard
Was nothing (nothing, nothing, nothing)

So I stumble there, along the railings and the fences
I know if we're face to face then she'll come to his senses
Every drunk step I take leads me to her door
If he sees how much I'm hurting, he'll take me back for sure

And my mates are all there trying to calm me down
'Cause I'm shouting your name all over town
I'm swearing if I go there now
I can change her mind, turn it all around

And I know that I'm drunk but I’ll say the words
And he'll listen this time even though they’re slurred
So I, dialed his number and confessed to him
I'm still in love but all I heard
Was nothing (nothing, nothing)
He said nothing (nothing, nothing)
Oh, I wanted words but all I heard was nothing
Oh, I got nothing (nothing, nothing)
I got nothing (nothing, nothing)
Oh, I wanted words but all I heard was nothing

Ohh, sometimes love's intoxicating
Ohh, you're coming down, your hands are shaking
When you realize there's no one waiting

Am I better off dead?
Am I better off a quitter?
They say I'm better off now
Than I ever was with him

I got nothing!
