Nothing More lyrics

My friend I know you've suffered

Although you are still young

Why was it you who'd not take help

From anyone?

Oh it's true, it's very true, he said

Some hard times I have known

But I have always overcome them

On my own

Oh the pearls that you hold in your hand

They are beautiful to see

But you show them not to anyone

Not even me

For you are like the others, he said

I never can be sure

That you wish just to see the pearls

And nothing more

Why can you not see reason?

Our lives they are not long

Why can you take no time

To tell us all we're wrong?

My tune it does not change, he said

And neither does your song

And words I use them rarely

When I'm all alone
