Nothing to Give lyrics

You talked me to sleep last night

I hadn't felt that sad in years

Your eyes like glass mistakes

They moved me close to tears

You speak those favourite fables

Which I'm yet to live

And casually confirm my fears

That I've got nothing to give

I wish I could say that I've got no regrets

But saying that would be one more to pile on my desk

I wish I could say I've clung to time like gold

But as you said goodbye I almost died

I take it back, all of it, those names I called myself

The heroes of my childhood like hardbacks on the shelf

I take it back, those promises I made to everyone

I'm falling through a ribbon last, before I'd learn to run

I wish I could say that I've got no regrets

But saying that would be one more to pile on my desk

I wish I could say I've clung to time like gold

But as you said goodbye I almost died
