Nothing Without You

Let’s talk about the way things were
Let’s talk about the way things should be
I think I’m certain but I’m not so sure
If I’ll deliver what’s expected of me

Let’s make believe we’re all okay
Or better yet pretend we’re doing better
Than we’ve ever been I think it’s safe to say
That we’ve forgotten what regrets worth

‘Cause that’s exactly what I pretend to be is
Ignoring warnings thinking kids will be kids
Will be a delusion kept at a distance
I think it’s strange to have to fight resistance

We’re gonna get it right for the first time
Gonna get it right, gonna get it right
Gonna get it right for the first time
Unmask ourselves and we’ll find

We’re nothing, we’re nothing without you
We’re nothing, we’re nothing
We’re nothing without you

We’re nothing, we’re nothing
We’re nothing without you
We’re nothing, we’re nothing
We’re nothing without you

I’ve given up on acting like I’m perfect
I advise you all to do the same
Perfection’s rare and so the last time I checked
We’ve all been introduced to feeling ashamed

Let’s talk about the way things were
Let’s talk about the way things should be
I think I’m certain but I’m not so sure
If I’ll turn my back as soon as God lets me

‘Cause that’s exactly what I pretend to be is
Ignoring warnings thinking kids will be kids
Will be a delusion kept at a distance
I think it’s strange to have to fight resistance

We’re gonna get it right for the first time
Gonna get it right, gonna get it right
Gonna get it right for the first time
‘Cause when we try it alone it’s then we find

We’re nothing, we’re nothing without you
We’re nothing, we’re nothing
We’re nothing without you

We’re nothing, we’re nothing
We’re nothing without you
(And it’s been brought to my attention)
(That nothing’s really worth the mention)
We’re nothing, we’re nothing without you
(When me and you subtract the latter)
(Equals nothing really matters)

You make me sure in the midst
Of heartbreak and turbulence
That my spirit soars
Only because it’s yours

We’re nothing, we’re nothing without you
We’re nothing, we’re nothing
We’re nothing without you

We’re nothing, we’re nothing
We’re nothing without you
(And it’s been brought to my attention)
(That nothing’s really worth the mention)
We’re nothing, we’re nothing without you
(When me and you subtract the latter)
(Equals nothing really matters)

We’re nothing, we’re nothing without you
We’re nothing, we’re nothing
We’re nothing without you

We’re nothing, we’re nothing
We’re nothing without you
We’re nothing, we’re nothing
We’re nothing without you
