You took my heart and you held it in your mouth 
And with a word all my love came rushing out 
And every whisper, it's the worst 
Emptied out by a single word 
There is a hollow in me now 

So I put my faith in something unknown 
I'm living on such sweet nothing 
But I'm tired of hope with nothing to hope 
I'm living on such sweet nothing 

And it's hard to learn 
And it's hard to love 
When you're giving me such sweet nothing 
Sweet nothing, sweet nothing 
You're giving me such sweet nothing 

It isn't easy for me to let it go 
Because I've swallowed every single word 
And every whisper, every sigh 
Eats away this heart of mine 
And there is a hollow in me now 

So I put my faith in something unknown 
I'm living on such sweet nothing 
But I'm tired of hope with nothing to hope 
I'm living on such sweet nothing 

And it's hard to learn 
And it's hard to love 
When you're giving me such sweet nothing 
Sweet nothing, sweet nothing 
You're giving me such sweet nothing 

And it's not enough to tell me that you care 
When we both know the words are empty air 
You give me nothing 
You give me nothing, nothing 

So I put my faith in something unknown 
I'm living on such sweet nothing 
But I'm tired of hope with nothing to hope 
I'm living on such sweet nothing 

But it's hard to learn 
And it's hard to love 
When you're giving me such sweet nothing 
Sweet nothing, sweet nothing 
When you're giving me such sweet nothing
