Nothing Left for You Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Maybe I’m done, maybe it’s true
Maybe I had one chance and I lost it with you
We fell so hard with nothing to lose
I’ll never love again, I’ll never love you

[Chorus]
‘Cause I gave my heart to a goddamn fool
I gave him everything
Now there’s nothing left for you
‘Cause I gave (I gave)
My heart (my heart)
To a goddamn fool
I lost everything
Now I have nothing left for you
I have nothing left for you

[Verse 2]
I can’t pretend, pretend that I care
I see how you look at me, but I am not there
The damage is done, I’ll save you the time
And if there are feelings there, they are not mine

[Chorus]
‘Cause I gave (I gave)
My heart (my heart)
To a goddamn fool
I gave him everything
Now there's nothing left for you
‘Cause I gave (I gave)
My heart (my heart)
To a goddamn fool
I lost everything
And I have nothing left for you
Oh, I have nothing left for you

[Bridge]
You won’t hear me say those words again
This is something that you cannot mend
Can't you see I am a product of my own past?
So I know this will never last
And I will not cover your fears
I will not pick up your tears
I’ll live out the rest of my days alone

[Chorus]
‘Cause I gave my heart to a goddamn fool
I gave him everything
Now there’s nothing left for you
‘Cause I gave my heart to a goddamn fool
I lost everything
And I have nothing left for you

Writing's on the Wall

[Verse 1]
Maybe I’m done, maybe it’s true
Maybe I had one chance and I lost it with you
We fell so hard with nothing to lose
I’ll never love again, I’ll never love you

[Verse 2]
I can’t pretend, pretend that I care
I see how you look at me, but I am not there
The damage is done, I’ll save you the time
And if there are feelings there, they are not mine

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

In my specific opinion: This song reveals the tiniest bits of pain of a lost love's absence, in other words; their lost. Think of such a love that it will be a love that has overcome all kinds of fear and vulnerability even at the beginning; This is such a love, such a care and maybe hope... The person in love is at such a point that they has opened up everything, including their whole personality, to them. They call that person a "fool" because that person is not someone they can reciprocate for all their love, attention, or sentimentality; Cause we can understand that that they lost it all to their current lover all those important pieces. They won't cover that person's fears or pick up their tears. They bluntly say, "In my previous relationship, I left with nothing, just in case, against you. I literally got nothing for you. Even feelings..." So we can sense that feeling of surrendering the whole self experienced with a past relationship has caused nothingness for the next relationship. Smith wanted to show their listeners that there is ''nothing to lose'' and ''never loving someone else'' clearly.

If they used all their vulnerability to the past relationship, then the difficulty of loving someone else becomes clear; cause they gave their all to a goddamn ''fool'' and they lost everything and they got nothing for their new love interest. They won't hear those invulnerable words or they won't mend those past experiences' damages. Therefore, they were just a new kind of replacement for that previous love. They can't pretedent that they care; they just save their time because they can't ''act like they're in love''. They know they they are not in love completely to be fully invulnerable. They know that they they are the ''product of ttheir own past'' which could be caused by their past experiences... such a bitter realization as I can say...

They got nothing to lose; to love again to be honest...
