When Something Becomes Nothing Lyrics - Singles - Chalk Farm

You, the candlelight and me 

Are as peaceful as a moving train 

You're as far as I can see 

From the person that you once had been 

Trade the life you broke into 

For the things you see in me 

All the while you swagger through 

Am I too demanding? 

Oh, it's a shame to me 

How the sun can shine so brightly 

You can hardly see 

And then you end up screaming 

Show me something 

Do you receive what you want? 

And you say, "Oh, no, it's nothing" 

Then walk away 

If I said show me something 

Would you receive what you want? 

And you say, "Tell me nothing" 

Release me 

The shadow across the open road 

Shines a light on what we used to know 

How much blind have we become 

When our minds are made up to the foe 

Helping sight reveals the truth 

Of the bitterness of men 

No surprises left in view 

Am I understanding? 

Oh, it's a shame to me 

How the sun can shine so brightly 

You can hardly see 

And then you end up screaming 

Show me something 

Do you receive what you want? 

When you say, "Oh, no, it's nothing" 

Then walk away 

If I said show me something 

Would you receive what you want? 

And you say, "Don't tell me nothing" 

Save me 

Oh, it's a crying shame 

How the sun can shine so brightly 

In your open face 

And still you end up screaming 

Show me something 

Would you receive what you want? 

And you say, "Oh, no, it's nothing" 

Then walk away 

If I said show me something 

Would you receive what you want? 

And you say, "Don't tell me nothing" 

Release me, release me 

I said, show me something 

Do you receive what you want? 

And you say, "Oh, no, it's nothing" 

Then walk away 

If I said, show me something 

Would you receive what you want? 

And you say, "Don't tell me nothing" 

Save me
