nothing everything

You were only a girl and I hope you knew that You didn't have the answers You don't have the facts And I know what you're thinking I know where you'll land There was nothing to trust for the man Linger five seconds longer and you would've been gone I don't blame you for wanting to act like a pawn In a game you were watching For a face you had drawn It will dawn on you soon That nothing's untrue It was nothing but want for the man Not a hope not a plan For him it was temporary Gardens are momentary You were worried Defending It was nothing It was everything You watched in real time Forgetting all your lines And grasping at something to do But you'll get through If only you knew It was nothing but want for the man Not a hope not a plan For him it was temporary Gardens are momentary You were worried Defending It was nothing It was everything It was nothing It was everything It was nothing It was everything To look at the flowers Beyond the shadow of a doubt Beyond fields of contentment Or fears of without With humor with laughter with safety with love Is it only worth having if it fits like a glove When he's coming around Is that coming around Those were all of the things that you worried about You were lost in the man Just a hope not a plan Maybe it was more than just want for him With some hope not a whim If you'd gone out on a limb And gave into the things he suggested to you There was something to do It was something to you Not nothing not everything I don't know how you did it I don't know when it happened But you're okay And we've been this way For a while now Maybe it was more than just want for him With some hope not a whim If you'd gone out on a limb And gave into the things he suggested to you There was something to do It was something to you Not nothing not everything It was nothing It was everything It was nothing It was everything Dying gardens That will see the Spring
