From Nothing Lyrics

New York City used to feel so alive

Now it's nothing but a shadow in my mind

You look for love on street corners

Coffee shops, work, and online

I built a shell all around me

Of what I thought you really wanted

And I hate all the boxes we check

Oh God, who the fuck am I becoming

Did you find the guy you were looking to be with

And would you mind if we just fucked around for a little bit

Cuz I'm not trying to turn this into something

Cuz all the times I've fallen in love it's come from nothing

I don't wanna go get a drink

Or walk through lines in museums

I don't wanna go hang at the park

Hit the lake and try to hold your hand

Well hell, maybe I'm being too cruel

And I'm hiding from something inside

Or maybe it's that affection is earned

And not something for free online

Did you find the guy you were looking to be with

And would you mind if we just fucked around for a little bit

Cuz I'm not trying to turn this into something

Cuz all the times I've fallen in love it's come from nothing

I'm not trying to be mean and you know I'm not trying to be harsh

Maybe it's arrested development and I was fucked from the start

Who knows, one day I'll wake up and

Be All Alone

Go skip rocks at the lake by my home

To be forty-five and so alone

Did you find the guy you were looking to be with

And would you mind if we sat and just tried to reconnect

Cuz I am trying to turn my life into something

I shoot myself in the foot for love and for nothing

For nothing

For nothing

For nothing
