It's been seven hours and fifteen days Since you took your love away I go out every night and I sleep all day Since you took your love away Since you been gone I can do whatever I want But nothing can take away these blues Nothing compares Nothing compares to you It's been so lonely without you here Like a bird without a song And nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling Tell me, where did I go wrong? I could put my arms around every girl I meet But they'd only remind me of you Nothing compares Nothing compares to you All the flowers you planted in the backyard All died when you went away I know living with you was sometimes hard But I'm willing to give it another try
