Sweet Nothing

Kings Elliot

Compositor: Kings Elliot

You hate when they don’t want you
You love to make them suffer
Where do you get off
You narcissistic motherfucker?

I know you’re collecting
Tears from their eyes
Heart on every finger
Like they’re nothing but a prize

You built yourself a halo
And tried to pull me under
But now I see what lies beneath it’s time to blow your cover

I gave you a moment
When I should’ve run
The first time that you told me I'm the one

Cause when you fall at my feet
You make the shallows look deep
It must be hard on your knees
Falling for everybody

Lie through your teeth
Make all your songs about me
But every word that you speak
Will always mean sweet nothing

All my friends could read you
They said you’re just another
Angel faced, manipulative self-obsessive lover

I'm counting all the bodies
You treated like toys
But go ahead and tell me
How you’re such an easy choice

I know better
Than to listen to your silver tongue
Say “forever”
But I can tell I'm not the only one

Cause when you fall at my feet
You make the shallows look deep
It must be hard on your knees
Falling for everybody

Lie through your teeth
Make all your songs about me
But every word that you speak
Will always mean sweet nothing

You’re so committed to the bit
I almost bought it
And deep down I still believe
You could be anything but honest

But I’ll never forget
The way you wrecked a perfect summer
You used to give me butterflies
But now you turn my stomach

I'm waiting for the day
Where everybody’s got your number
And you’ll still think you’re perfect
God you’re such Primadonna

So send your dying flowers and I’ll
Put them with the others
Another empty gesture from
A serial love-bomber

Cause when you fall at my feet
You make the shallows look deep
It must be hard on your knees
Falling for everybody

Lie through your teeth
Make all your songs about me
But every word that you speak
Will always mean sweet nothing
Mean sweet nothing

Go fuck yourself, you know you want to
