About Nothing That You Are

"Nothing That You Are" is a song by American singer-songwriter Mandy Moore. According to her official website, it is the second single from her 2007 album, Wild Hope. The song was introduced on February 9, 2007 via Moore's MySpace page. The chorus is led by drums and two guitars, and the song ends with a guitar solo. It is Moore's fifth collaboration with James Renald, who wrote her 2002 single "Cry" and other tracks on the album Wild Hope. Moore said that when she wrote the song, she was "[p]retty devastated" about something she was going through that involved heartbreak. When asked if it was about her relationship with tennis player Andy Roddick, she said "Maybe. My first real heartbreak." The song was featured in the How I Met Your Mother episode "Wait For It," in which Moore guest starred. A promo single surfaced, and it has become a very rare hard-to-find item amongst fans.

Somebody told me, they saw you somewhere
Somebody hold me, 'cause suddenly I'm a little, cold
Well I must be mistaken you for somebody else
I know you all to well, or do I?

[Chorus:]
I heard you say
We were one and the same
Well wrong again
I could never do those things you did to me
I will be OK
In time you'll fade
Into the nothing that you are
The nothing you are

Somebody sold me, yeah the same old story
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Hadn't you told me, you were there the whole time
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Well I must be mistaken you for somebody else
I hope you burn in hell, or do I?

[Chorus]

I know your mistakes will hunt you down, eventually
You'll know that when you hit the ground
Your weakness did you in, and dealt me out
It's OK, I have the truth on my side

I heard you say
We were one and the same
We'll wrong again
I could never do those things, you did to me
I will be OK
In time you'll fade
Into nothing that you are
The nothing you are
The nothing you are
The nothing you are
The nothing you are
