The Ballad of What and Nothing Lyrics

My heart was broken when we met

I think I thought if I made love a choice

I'd be safe from pain

Not falling head over heels

I would choose how to feel

And I'd not get hurt again

And you were sweet and kind and curious

And I loved spending time with you

You were young yes

But you had your own unique point of view

And I liked

Having you by my side

But then it came to having to decide

And things started to slide

I tried my hardest to choose you

You became my best friend

I didn't want to lose you

But I always had that question running through my head

Is this enough

And is it love that I'm feeling

Is it enough and is it love that I'm feeling

It's a shortcoming I'm all to aware of

That I try to keep every door open wide

I'm so terrified of losing

The things I'm not choosing

That I just can't decide

And so the more you pressured me to commit

The more I resisted you

I felt trapped you felt rejected

All our feelings were valid and true

And I'd no clue

How to make things right

I didn't know what to do

I didn't know what to do

I tried my hardest to choose you

You became my best friend

I didn't want to lose you

But I always had that question running through my head

Is this enough

And is it love that I'm feeling

Is it enough and is it love that I'm feeling

Did I drag you into my confusion

All I ever wanted was to love and be loved in return

But I don't know how love works

I don't know how it works

But I didn't want this hurt

I wanted it to work

What a shame

What a waste

To have lost all the good things
