Contradictions
Two songs that have really stayed in my mind for weeks…
NOTHING by The Script
[Verse 1] Am I better off dead Am I better off a quitter They say I'm better off now Than I ever was with her As they take me to my local down the street I'm smiling but I'm dying trying not to drag my feet They say a few drinks will help you to forget her But after one too many I know that I'm never Only they can see where this is gonna end But they all think I'm crazy but to me it's perfect sense [Chorus] And my mates are all there trying to calm me down 'Cause I'm shouting your name all over town I'm swearing if i go there now I can change your mind turn it all around And I know that I'm drunk but I'll say the words And she'll listen this time even though their slurred Dial her number and confess to her I'm still in love but all i heard was nothing [Verse 2] So I stumble there, along the railings and the fences I know if I'm face to face that she'll come to her senses Every drunk step i take leads me to her door If she sees how much I'm hurting She'll take me back for sure [Chorus] She said nothing Oh I wanted words but all I heard was nothing Oh I got nothing Nothing I got nothing Nothing Oh I wanted words but all I heard was nothing [Verse 3] Oh sometimes love is intoxicating Oh you're coming down your hands are shaking When you realise there's no one waiting Am I better off dead Am I better off a quitter They say I'm better off now Than I ever was with her [Chorus] She said nothing Oh I wanted words but all I heard was nothing Oh I got nothing Nothing I got nothing Nothing Oh I wanted words but all I heard was nothing Oh I got nothing I got nothing I got nothing I'M YOURS by The Script You touch these tired eyes of mine And map my face out line by line And somehow growing old feels fine I listen close for I'm not smart You wrap you thoughts in works of art And they're hanging on the walls of my heart I may not have the softest touch I may not say the words as such And though I may not look like much I'm yours And though my edges may be rough And never feel I'm quite enough It may not seem like very much But I'm yours You heeled these scars over time Embraced my soul You loved my mind You're the only angel in my life The day news came my best friend died My knees went week and you saw me cry Say I'm still the soldier in your eyes I may not have the softest touch I may not say the words as such And though I may not look like much I'm yours And though my edges may be rough And never feel I'm quite enough It may not seem like very much But I'm yours I may not have the softest touch I may not say the words as such I know I don't fit in that much But I'm yours
