lyrics

She was walking all alone that night
Took a turn down a dark and dusty road
He was heading out the other way
Only hoped they’d find their way back home
She said she wanted to be on her own
He never thought she’d be gone so long

All he wanted was someone to love him
But all he got, was nothing for something
He ended up, yeah, with nothing for something

Take a look where your life is at
Is it all you hoped it would be?
Did you sell or compromise
Your soul for lies of being free?
We take and we take, and then we want more
Just like a thief who’s locked in a store

All we wanted is what we had coming
We ended up, yeah, with nothing for something
Yeah, all we got, was nothing for something

If I had a dime for each
Time that I got in my own way
Well, I’d have enough to spare
No matter what I’d have to pay
It’s true I only have myself to blame
For letting it all go up in flames

All I wanted was something to trust in
But all I got, was nothing for something
I ended up, yeah, with nothing for something
Yeah, I got left with, nothing for something

Take a look where your life is at
Is it all you hoped it would be?
