Lyrics

I Am Nothing

You
Traffic on the line
Strangers all around
Nothing here but time
I don't see a sound
Floating high above
Every little town
People who can love

Please don't leave me now
I am nothing
Please don't leave me out
I am nothing

You
Coursing through my veins
Pulsing every pound
Panic on parade
Cutting through the crowd
Music fills my brain
I know I letcha down
Take me back again

Please don't leave me now
I am nothing
Please don't leave me out
I am nothing

You
Footsteps on the floor
Do they make a sound
Open up the door

Please don't leave me now
