All Or Nothing Lyrics

I know when he's been on your mind
That distant look is in your eyes
I thought with time you'd realize it's over, over
It's not the way I choose to live
And something's somewhere's got to give
As sharing this relationship get's over, over
You know i'd fight for you but how can I fight someone who isn't even there
I've had the rest of you, now I want the best of you
I don't care if that's not fair

Cause I want it all or nothing at all
There's no where left to fall
When you reach the bottom it's now or never
Is it all or are we just friends
Is this how it ends with a simple telephone call
You leave me here with nothing at all

There are times it seems to me
I'm sharing you in memories
I feel it in my heart but I don't show it, show it
And then there's times you look at me
As though i'm all that you can see
Those times I don't believe it's right, I know it, know it
Don't make me promises
Baby you never did know how to keep them well
I've had the rest of you now I want the best of you
It's time for show and tell

Cause I want it all or nothing at all
There's no where left to fall
When you reach the bottom it's now or never
Is it all or are we just friends
Is this how it ends with a simple telephone call
You leave me here with nothing at all

Cause you and I could lose it all if you've got no more room, no no
Inside, for me in your life

Cause I want it all or nothing at all
There's no where left to fall
It's now or never
Is it all or nothing at all
There's no where left to fall
When you reach the bottom it's now or never
Is it all or are we just friends
Is this how it ends with a simple telephone call
You leave me here with nothing at all

Or nothing at all
There's no where left to fall
When you reach the bottom it's now or never
Is it all or are we just friends
Is this how it ends with a simple telephone call
You leave me here with nothing at all

hes going through what i am. when you love someome but you just know that your sharing them because they love someone else. that other person doesnt feel the same way about them but that doent stop them loving them, it can really hurt to be second best and to feel like the other person will never love you as much as you love them because all that that other person can think about is how in love they are wiht someone else

This song is EXACTLY what i'm going through.. This is how I see the song.

You are with someone who DOES cares about you, but he or she really doesn't know what she wants, because things in her life (Whether it means someone else or other things) are either not letting her, or conflicting with what she wants. For example, an ex love in this situation.. Not letting go when they need to to move on.

And for those that have been in that situation, when you are so in Love with someone, you can't "Handshake" the rest of your life away.. it gets to a point where it hurts so bad that you aren't with that person and being friends hurts, you have to tell them, it's all or nothing.. It's selfish, but sometimes when the person isn't attempting to work things through, you might have to move on..

Which leaves what Russell was asking.. What that line basically means is the general concept of fighting an already lost battle. If this person isn't fighting to get through what they need to get through to be happy, you can't fight with them.. It's a joint thing..

SIGH omg. I used to be obsessed with this song when i was in grade 9 only because i was totally in love with ashley and erick from the group LOL. But i was listening to it last night, and i realized how sad it all was....because i am in that situation. But from both sides (how retarded it that). I was going out with my boyfriend for almost 3 years, but things were really rocky with us,,,and for the last year, i started liking my best friend (who is a guy too lol). I tried to deny it but it was so hard because i saw him more than i saw my boyfriend. I couldn't handle it any longer, and when i found out that my friend liked me too, i knew that things just had to end for me and my boyfriend..so i broke up with him. So in that aspect, i know how it feels to be the girl who is thinking about that other guy with that "distant look in my eye". But now, my friend...we kinda got together, but there is a past to him too. He was in love with this other girl (so he says) but she hurt him too much. So they just stopped whatever it is they had. but after a few weeks with our thing, it was just getting really weird, and we both started to feel guilty. Later on...he told me that he knew that as soon as his "love" came back from holidays, he would be crazy about her again.

I don't know if he still likes me or not, but i love him so much as a best friend, cuz he is awesome....the crappy thing is that i know he thinks about her, and he really likes her...and yeah, it does suck being in second place.

grr. have to get over him. but this song is sad. made me think and not sleep

This is such a great song, Basicly she is just having troubles letting go of a past relationship and he can't take bein second best all the time. I thinkl every1 will go through it at some stage but just giv the person time and they will come around like in the end of the video!!
