lyrics

Nothing Broke My Heart
Mallory Graham & Scott Tyler

Aren’t you supposed to love me?
Didn’t I keep your dirt, didn’t I dig and till?
We’re just wasting blood and time,
And time is all we’ve got left to kill,
So I’ve been waiting around hoping you will.

What did she say about me?
There’s sugar in the well, and poison in the creek.
She’s been splitting dimes and hairs,
And I can’t find you anywhere--
Even when you’re smiling there in front of me.

I keep showing up for nothing.
You keep saying nothing’s wrong.
If there’s nothing left here to be forgotten, I won’t start--
But “nothing” took your tongue and broke my heart.

I keep showing up for nothing,
You keep saying nothing’s wrong--

When did you last call me?
When did I last hear, you’ve got nothing much to say?
“You know things don’t change ‘round here,
Another dog-eared digger’s year.”
Some things change by staying just the same.

If there’s nothing left here to be forgotten, I won’t even start,
But “nothing” took your tongue and broke my heart.
