All For Nothing Lyrics

I was walking down the street doing nothing

 When she ran right into me and I was wondering

 If it could be that she didn't see

 But she spit that hatred at my face

 I felt like I wanted to fight

 When I saw her hungry eyes and broken heart

 And recognized her pain

 I saw it I know it and I walked away

 Only love could save her anyway

 

 I can't believe all the times that we bleed

 That it's all for nothing

 I will deny all the tears that we cry

 That it's all for nothing

 

 Sometimes I feel so confused when I look at us

 And all we went through

 After eight years of sharing every dream together

 We don't even talk

 Is that all there is

 What we stood up for

 Now we stand behind a million locked doors

 And we can't even say that we'll be friends

 Sometimes things just change and we don't know why

 I don't think I'll swallow that kind of lie

 

 I can't believe all the times that we bleed

 That it's all for nothing

 I will deny all the tears that we cry

 That it's all for nothing

 

 Do we all want to believe there's more to this

 Than the lights just turning out

 

 Now we gotta have a real conversation even if we don't

 Know each other's situation

 Who says we're powerless just because of all the injustice

 There's still time to fight

 You just gotta go you just gotta try

 You're the only one that's standing in your way

 Sometimes things keep changin' we don't know why

 Don't think I'll swallow that kind of lie

 

 I can't believe all the times that we bleed

 That it's all for nothing

 I will deny all the tears that we cry

 That it's all for nothing
