You took my heart and you held it in your mouth
And with a word all my love came rushing out
And every whisper, it's the worst

Emptied out by a single word
There is a hollow in me now


So I put my faith in something unknown
I'm living on such sweet nothing
But I'm tired of hope with nothing to hope

I'm living on such sweet nothing

And it's hard to learn

And it's hard to love
When you're giving me such sweet nothing
Sweet nothing, sweet nothing

You're giving me such sweet nothing

It isn't easy for me to let it go

Because I've swallowed every single word
And every whisper, every sigh
Eats away this heart of mine

And there is a hollow in me now

So I put my faith in something unknown

I'm living on such sweet nothing
But I'm tired of hope with nothing to hope
I'm living on such sweet nothing


And it's hard to learn
And it's hard to love

When you're giving me such sweet nothing
Sweet nothing, sweet nothing
You're giving me such sweet nothing


And it's not enough to tell me that you care
When we both know the words are empty air

You give me nothing
You give me nothing, nothing


So I put my faith in something unknown
I'm living on such sweet nothing
But I'm tired of hope with nothing to hope

I'm living on such sweet nothing

But it's hard to learn

And it's hard to love
When you're giving me such sweet nothing
Sweet nothing, sweet nothing

When you're giving me such sweet nothing
