There was one heartbreak Led to a hundred Little mistakes that Followed me down to where I like awake With nothing but time
And there's a girl Born into light Who followed her heart But her heart wasn't right So she gave it a name And she walks off that pain
It'll leave her in time Nothing but time
Life is a long line Of talk of wars We want to be upright But we're down on all fours Though you know it means nothing You just can't ignore The nickel and dime
And the dream is novocaine The way to survive it Is to think past the pain Til you can't even feel that Nothing will heal that Nothing but time
I was born into nothing I've nothing to offer I can't offer nothing but time
Though it's left unsaid Sometimes you think that you're better off dead But you're better off here Safe in this bed With nothing but time
And outside the world fights And bullies each other It feels good to leave them behind
I was born into nothing I've nothing to offer I can't offer nothing but time
