I Got Nothin' Lyrics
It's my third cup of coffee
The fifth time I said I'm sorry
The sun slowly peakin' through the glass
Says we've been up all night
We all know where this is going
It's been a long time coming
Is it really over
Is this really goodbye
Maybe I should say something
Maybe you'd change your mind
Maybe maybe
Buy a little more time
But I got nothing
No magic words
To stop you leaving
To end this hurt
I'm just blank
I'm staring into space
Praying please please let me think of something
Cause I got nothing
I watch you pack your things
You look down at your ring
Slowly slip off and then lay it on our bed
Maybe I should pick it up
And get down on my knees
Tell you what you want to hear
And give you what you need
But I got nothing
No magic words
To stop you leaving
To end this hurt
I'm just blank
I'm staring into space
Praying please please let me think of something
Cause I got nothing
You're almost at the door
And you stop and turn around
Your eyes are begging me
Please say something right now
But I got nothing
No magic words
To stop your leaving
I can't end this hurt
I'm just blank
I'm staring into space
Praying please please let me think of something
Cause if you go
I got nothing
The fifth time I said I'm sorry
The sun slowly peakin' through the glass
Says we've been up all night
It's been a long time coming
Is it really over
Is this really goodbye
Maybe I should say something
Maybe you'd change your mind
Maybe maybe
Buy a little more time
No magic words
To stop you leaving
To end this hurt
I'm just blank
I'm staring into space
Praying please please let me think of something
Cause I got nothing
You look down at your ring
Slowly slip off and then lay it on our bed
Maybe I should pick it up
And get down on my knees
Tell you what you want to hear
And give you what you need
No magic words
To stop you leaving
To end this hurt
I'm just blank
I'm staring into space
Praying please please let me think of something
Cause I got nothing
And you stop and turn around
Your eyes are begging me
Please say something right now
No magic words
To stop your leaving
I can't end this hurt
I'm just blank
I'm staring into space
Praying please please let me think of something
Cause if you go
I got nothing

This is one of my favorite songs by him.
I was in a situation similar to this with my last girlfriend. Our relationship ended a couple months ago and word for word, it completely played out like this song. There were times it seemed like we were going to end right then and there and the final time, it was like I had nothing really to say and since the talk of leaving was becoming quite evident, it was like I got nothing to really say because when I did, it wouldn't matter anyways because her mind was completely made up that she wanted to leave. Listening to this song has been theraputic because word for word, it describes my feelings about the situation in the last month and a half we were together before we broke up for good.
