Sweet Nothing Lyrics

Cover art for Sweet Nothing lyrics by Calvin Harris

believing in the words said in the heat of the moment, in the early times of passion during a relationship...taking the leap of faith to believe the honey moon phase words that a lot of people tend to say in the beginning of a relationship but she believed it and realized she was living on such sweet nothings ... notice how it's in like an escort club, affection is being thrown around the room but it doesn't actually mean anything and the men go along with it and are okay with it and take it. it's hard to learn how to love someone when nothing is being done and it's just all words said in the moment."you took my heart and held it in your mouth" i guess played with her heart through his words he didn't even hold it with his hands...

basically about believing the sweet words at the beginning of a relationship and becoming so invested but in the end you realized... it was all nothing.. just sweet words.

I agree! I also would like to point out the feeling of insecurity. For me, some parts of the lyrics are saying that the person is trying to love and hope, but at the same time is very insecure. She has nothing to hold on. It's hard to learn/love when he gives her nothing, just sweet but empty words. It's hard to learn and love and it's hard to let go. She's kinda stuck in the middle. She doesn't really no what to do. That's a terrible feeling I would say.

*She doesn't really KNOW what to do
