Sweet Nothing Lyrics

You took my heart, and you held it in your mouth
And with the 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'll put my faith in something unknown
I'm living on such sweet nothing
But I'm tired of hope with nothing to hold
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
'Cause I've swallow every single word
And every whisper, every sigh
Eats away at this heart of mine
And there is a hollow in me now

So I'll put my faith in something unknown
I'm living on such sweet nothing
But I'm tired of hope with nothing to hold
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 that words are empty air
You give me nothing
Nothing

Sweet nothing
Sweet nothing

What is the Meaning of Sweet Nothing?

A profound exploration of unrequited love and emotional emptiness, this track delves into the pain of investing in a relationship that offers no return. The lyrics depict a person who has given their all to a partner, only to be left with 'sweet nothing.' This phrase refers both to the empty promises made by the partner and the hollow feeling left by their lack of reciprocation. The recurring theme of 'hollow' signifies the emotional void created by this one-sided love. Despite the pain, there is an ongoing struggle between hope and despair, as reflected in lines like 'I'm tired of hope with nothing to hold.' Ultimately, it's a poignant commentary on how words without action can lead to heartbreak and disillusionment.
