Nothing Left

(album: Doves In Glass Houses - 2020)

Just close your eyes
I can see they burn
I can see the winter
Buried all your hurt
I saw the door
Close behind your back
I can see disaster
Ready to attack

I saw the writing on the wall
As you stumbled through the hall
Every thought she had was poisoned
All the perfect souvenirs
She collected through the years
By the hospital bed she called prison

All she had was hate to hold onto

She's been searching for something
Searching for someone
She already knows
She already knows
Nothing will change what she wanted
Hoping for someone
To break the code
To make it back home
To make it back home
To make it back home

I saw your thoughts fade away
As you sat there on the train
Choking on your past decisions
I know everyone's to blame
And there's nothing left to say
But one more drink will cure confusion

All she had was hate to hold onto

She's been searching for something
Searching for someone
She already knows
She already knows
Nothing will change what she wanted
Hoping for someone
To break the code
To make it back home

Just close your eyes
I can see they burn
I can see the winter
Buried all your hurt
From the bottom of the bottle
To the back of your throat
There's nothing left to whisper
There's nothing left at all
There's nothing left at all
There's nothing left at all

She's been searching for something
Searching for someone
She already knows
She already knows
Nothing will change what she wanted
Hoping for someone
To break the code
To make it back home
To make it back home
To make it back home
