Sweet Nothing

Verse 1
You painted sunsets with your words,
Made broken promises sound like pearls.
You said my name like a melody,
Like there was nowhere else you'd rather be.

Your voice was warm, your eyes were cold,
You gave me stories I was sold.

Pre-Chorus
I held onto every line,
Thought your forever could be mine.
But pretty words can hide the truth,
And I was falling for you.

Chorus
Sweet nothing, falling from your lips,
Like sugar on a poison kiss.
You made it sound like love was real,
But beautiful words don't always feel.
Sweet nothing, echo in the night,
You said forever, but you said goodbye.
All those promises meant something to me—
To you, they were just sweet nothing.

Verse 2
You told me I was all you need,
Then watched me drown in make-believe.
Every "I love you" felt so true,
Until the silence showed the truth of you.

Pre-Chorus
I read between the empty lines,
And found the lies you dressed so nice.
You gave me roses made of smoke,
And left me holding onto hope.

Chorus
Sweet nothing, falling from your lips,
Like sugar on a poison kiss.
You made it sound like love was real,
But beautiful words don't always feel.
Sweet nothing, echo in the night,
You said forever, but you said goodbye.
All those promises meant something to me—
To you, they were just sweet nothing.

Bridge
Don't tell me that you miss me now,
Don't make another empty vow.
I've learned that words can sound like love,
And still be nothing when they're not enough.

Maybe words are easy when you don't mean a thing,
Maybe hearts are fragile, but lies have wings.
I won't chase the echoes you left behind,
I'm done believing in your beautiful lies.

Final Chorus
Sweet nothing, I finally understand,
You gave me dreams you never planned.
Your golden words turned into dust,
And love without truth is never enough.
Sweet nothing, that's all you gave,
A pretty little song that couldn't stay.
I gave you my heart, you gave me a lie—
Now your sweet nothing says goodbye.
