Nothing But Love Lyrics


Cold has come to fill my heart
To numb my head and bones
Paralysed and torn apart
Thick and heavy feelings flow
Through my body turned to stone
Stiffened mind thoughts running slow
Dead man's image I can see
Had been killed so silently
Always been first to admit
But the very last to know
Didn't even know a bit
Couldn't see the foe
How could I have been so blind?
Says the man stabbed from behind
Every lie I had believed
Everything you misconceived
Every sign I didn't see
The mirror showing me

And what a long lying
What a wrong trying
And I knew I had to go
Like it was the only thing to know
And I know it was the only way
Not a single word left to say
So without a word I turned my back away
Silently I shut the door
To end the conflict stop the war
All that was it will be nothing
There is nothing left to say
Not a word not a single word to say
All that could have been it won't be
Here comes the final day
Nothing's like it was before
Just no connection anymore
And what a long dying
Such a wrong crying
And I knew I had to grow
Had to never let a weakness show
Had to push the memory far away
Had to try to find myself a better way
Every tear I didn't hide
A tiny little suicide
Every second by your side
A minute more of giving up my pride
Cold has filled my heart again
And turned my blood to stone
No sun so warm to warm you when
You're naked and alone
Pictures in my head again
That never will be shown
I'll return a stronger man
Stronger than the one you've known
All that was it will be nothing
There is nothing left to say
Not a word not a single word to say
Nothing there is nothing
Not a word no alert
You might change the way you dress
Change the color of your hair
You'll always change your mind I guess
Just like the clothes you wear
So if we ever meet again
A different time a different place
Don't forget I'll know by then
You will never change your ways
Nothing will be nothing
Not a word not a hurt
You might have to wear a coat
Weighing on you heavily
You might have to share the load
The load you put on me
There ain't no way now to disclaim
You'll always be the one to blame
So make a profit on the loss
Be a party take your share
Nail your conscience to the cross
To the cross you let me bear
Nothing will be nothing
Not a word to be heard
By the way I honestly
Thank you so much for teaching me
I've learned a lot you made me see
You are what I don't want to be

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Purveyor of the bakersfield sound, country singer-songwriter Dwight Yoakam grew up in Columbus, Ohio before first heading to Nashville and eventually west to Los Angeles, and bought a place in Bakersfield, CA near his idol & mentor Buck Owens. Active as a recording artist since the early 1980s, Yoakam has appeared in films, on over thirty charting singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, and a plethora of albums and compilations selling well in excess of 20 million units worldwide.

His distinctive twang sound has been linked with production & arranging collaborator Pete Anderson who has helmed the boards for the most commercially successful period of Yoakam's career. Starting out in the early 80's in L.A Yoakam's group played with "roots" acts like The Blasters, eventually covering their song "Long White Cadillac". Other popular covers by Yoakam include Queen's "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" in 1999, and ZZ Top's I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide in 2003. Dwight has Yoakam'd out other unlikely songs by not exclusively country related groups like The Grateful Dead, The Kinks, The Clash and Cheap Trick'sI Want You To Want Me. One of his first breakthrough records was a song done by Johnny Horton called "Honky Tonk Man", another stand out cover track was his reworking of Elvis Presley's "Suspicious Minds" done with Pete Anderson for the 1992 Honeymoon In Vegas soundtrack.

His own hits like "Guitars, Cadillacs" and "A Thousand Miles From Nowhere" are classic songs in their own right, but nearly every song or cover Yoakam churns out stays true to his sound, and finds welcome among fans of both roots music & modern country. With 1989's Grammy winning "The Streets of Bakersfield", Yoakam was credited with revitalizing the career of the late Buck Owens, who'd fallen out of favor with the pop-oriented contemporary Nashville music industry.

Yoakam's more recent releases on New West after a long period with major labels include "Blame the Vain", and the posthumous Buck Owens tribute Dwight Sings Buck. Both continue in the solid and traditional styles of past albums from this long time fan favorite who continues to please crowds all over the country and who has performed on the NBC's Tonight Show with Jay Leno more than other act in history (24x as of late 2007).
