nothing at all – English Lyrics

• By: Madison Beer
• Album: Locket

Lyrics & Translation

Discover the raw introspection of Madison Beer's 'nothing at all' from her album 'Locket.' This song, rich with English lyrical nuance, offers a deep dive into the paradox of fearing happiness; you can learn about vulnerability and self-protection, as Beer uses complex phrasing to articulate the anxiety of emotional highs that feel unsustainable, making it a special, deeply personal piece.

作曲 : Peter Rycroft/Madison Beer/Leroy Clampitt/Lucy Healey

I used to wish

Oh, how ignorance was bliss

That one day, I'd be happier than this

I (I) used to feel

Like all my fantasies were real

But now my dreams have lost all their appeal

...

As crazy as it is, I admit

...

I'm afraid of getting better

I'm afraid it gets too good

'Cause it can't last forever

Even though I wish it could

The higher you rise, the further that you fall

And soon, you're left with nothing at all

...

I'm comfortable

I'm okay, I'm not that miserable

I'm somewhere in the middle of it all

I honestly just don't wanna spend my energy

Fixing all these broken things

...

As crazy as it is, oh, I admit

...

I'm afraid of getting better

I'm afraid it gets too good

'Cause it can't last forever

Even though I wish it could

The higher you rise, the further that you fall

And soon, you're left with nothing at all (Soon, you're left with nothing, nothing)

...

Nothing at all, nothing at all

Nothing, nothing, nothing at all

Nothing at all

Nothing at all

Nothing, nothing, nothing

...

I'm afraid of getting better

I'm afraid it gets too good (Oh)

'Cause it can't last forever

Even though I wish it could

The higher you rise, the further that you fall

And soon, you're left with nothing at all

...

(Nothing at all)

Ah, ah, ah, aah

(Nothing)
