Nothing New Lyrics - Singles - The Waifs

I'm going to dress up tonight 

I'll look real pretty 

For I don't know who 

I'll find my own way 

Around this great big city 

And I'll sit at a bar 

And I'm gonna have a drink 

I'll leave you to revel 

In your youthful yearnings 

I know you like to visit them 

From time to time 

Like a thief I steal 

The words you write to her 

I take them to my heart 

And I wish them to be mine 

But this is nothin' 

But it ain't nothin' 

Oh this is nothin' new 

But it ain't nothin' 

You long for sweetness 

Does mine make you sickly 

Or maybe I no longer have 

The sweetness you require 

There's nothing sweet 

About a heart so embittered 

It's ugly and it's cold 

And tonight it's out for hire 

This is nothin' new 

But it ain't nothin' here 

We live through this 

Day after day 

Complacency's a curse 

But you just can't escape it 

I've arrived at a place 

Where my tolerance gave way 

And I struggle to hold 

My head up high
