What If I Was Nothing Lyrics
Just let it go, don’t want to haunt you anymore
I can’t be sure I know just what we’re fight for
I know that you’re scared and that you’re thinking I may go
I’m not leaving, I’m not leaving
And if you’re thinking I might, might be lead astray
Just remember this one question
What if I was nothing? what if this is true?
What if I was nothing? girl, nothing without you
So what if I was angry? what did you think I’d do?
I told you that I love you, girl, I’m nothing without you
I know it’s hard, it seems that we’ve worked at this so long
Soft and foolish pride that tells us we’re not wrong
I hear your voice, you tell me that you’ll never go
And I believe it, I believe it
And if you’re thinking I might, might be lead astray
Just remember this one question
What if I was nothing? What if this is true?
What if I was nothing, girl, nothing without you
So what if I was angry, what did you think I’d do?
I told you that I love you, girl, I’m nothing without you
And we can keep this going on, we’ll make it work some way
And every step, it makes us stronger every day
And if you’re thinking I might, might be lead astray
Just remember this one question
What if I was nothing? What if this is true?
What if I was nothing, girl, nothing without you
So what if I was angry, what did you think I’d do?
I told you that I love you, girl, I’m nothing without you
What if I was nothing? What if this is true?
What if I was nothing, girl, nothing without you
So what if I was angry, what did you think I’d do?
I told you that I love you, girl, I’m nothing without you
I can’t be sure I know just what we’re fight for
I know that you’re scared and that you’re thinking I may go
I’m not leaving, I’m not leaving
Just remember this one question
What if I was nothing? girl, nothing without you
So what if I was angry? what did you think I’d do?
I told you that I love you, girl, I’m nothing without you
Soft and foolish pride that tells us we’re not wrong
I hear your voice, you tell me that you’ll never go
And I believe it, I believe it
Just remember this one question
What if I was nothing, girl, nothing without you
So what if I was angry, what did you think I’d do?
I told you that I love you, girl, I’m nothing without you
And every step, it makes us stronger every day

What if I was nothing, girl, nothing without you
So what if I was angry, what did you think I’d do?
I told you that I love you, girl, I’m nothing without you
What if I was nothing, girl, nothing without you
So what if I was angry, what did you think I’d do?
I told you that I love you, girl, I’m nothing without you

It's only the question that's important here, I think. 'What if I were nothing without you?' I think he's talking about the feeling people can get sometimes when they feel like the whole purpose of their life is to be with their significant other. Everything they do, they do so that the other will appreciate or take comfort in. And that's Love, isn't that so? So there's no question of him leaving her, since he would have no purpose without her. He would be nothing without her. That's why his Love will keep him from ever leaving her. That's what I think he's saying anyway. :)
I agree with both, but it's not only a question of loosing someone or purposes in life.. i mean.. it also has to do with it, but what the singer is tryng to say is that when you are so in a relationship you have to work to make it worth ,... i see it all the time.. people get together and wait for love to rain over them. Patetic. no one is perfect .. so if you truly love someone you have to work with Him/Her to "keep things going on" couse if you let the imperfection of the other takeover yourself you are gonna stay alone for the rest of your life :) this way , at the end of a relationship, you can say " I gave all of me and I have no regret " and after all that the only question you can do to the partner "am I something to you?" or, "What if I was nothing ?" . anyway , beautifull song ,, one of my favorite, lyrically and instrumentally rich ;)
In my opinion, I believe this song should be interpreted as: "What if I was nothing to you, miss trust". "You" meaning A loved woman, for a prolonged period of time. "What if I was nothing" meaning what if I as the man, whom to fail you or yet to lose you to another because "You" decided to cheat or to find love else where. "I"exemplifying the utter ultimate end of one's being within a relationship.
I like your interpretation , but I'm pretty sure that's not what he's saying. I like my interpretation better. :) Also I think he can't be exemplifying the utter ultimate end of his involvement and investment in the relationship because he keeps talking about just working at the relationship.

This song talks about the need for someone special in your life, but it could could also refer to the feelings of depression. That loss of someone you love. I've told many that I've loved the, but I really don't know why they walk away.
This song is about resolving an argument with your significant other and deciding your relationship is worth more than the argument and putting aside your pride and ego. The speaker is confused about why they are fighting, and suddenly realizes that his significant other is fighting with him or pulling away from him in the argument because underneath it all, she is afraid of abandonment... that they are fighting and he will leave her because he is angry... perhaps his significant other even has some abuse trauma that makes them scared in situations where someone else is angry... and he's telling her that no matter what they are going through he is never going to leave or abandon her and that he loves her more than anything in the entire universe and that his sole purpose on this earth is to love her. It's about ending an argument with love rather than winning the argument at the expense of their relationship.
Truly beautiful concept
He doubts she loves him any longer and he desperately tries to change her mind. That the problems they ran into were not enough to destroy his love.
