You took my heart, and you held it in your mouth And, With the 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 So I put my faith in something unknown I'm living on such sweet nothing But I'm tryin' to hope with nothing to hold I'm living on such sweet nothing And it's hard to learn And it's hard to love When you're giving me such sweet nothing Sweet nothing Sweet nothing You're giving me such sweet nothing It isn't easy for me to let it go 'Cause I swallow every single word And every whisper, every sigh Eats away this heart of mine And there is a hollow in me now So I put my faith in something unknown 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 When you're giving me such sweet nothing Sweet nothing Sweet nothing You're giving me such sweet nothing And it's not enough To tell me that you care When, we both know the words are empty air You give me nothing Nothing Uoh Uoh Uoh Sweet, nothing Uoh Uoh Uoh Sweet, nothing
