Nothing Else

Edie Carey


There's plastic on your 
Living room furniture 
Then there's that brand new black sports car you never drive 
You say I make love look easy and that's cause it is 
When you get down to it there's really nothing else 

You got that shiny red heart 
In your chest 
Your little boy intentions are 
Laced with gold 
But what's the use of that big heart if you can't make it go? 
It may look so pretty but there's really nothing else 

Make it go 
Make it go 
Make it go 

I don't know where to put you 
So I think I'll find a soft place and I'll set you down 
I think I'm done carrying this weight 
That's me and you 
It's not what I want to do 
But there's really nothing else 

Letting go of you is like pullling off a bandage 
Of an old wound that healed so long ago 
You better make it quick 
Cuz these things tend to stick (yeah, they do) 
It'll hurt for a moment 
Then you'll feel nothing else 

Make it go 
Make it go 
Make it go 
Make it go 
Make it go 

Maybe I'm ready to love 
Something real 
Something that might even 
Talk back 
Music has the ability to heal me 
It even takes away pain 
But something tells me I need more than that
