About Nothin'

"Nothin' at All" is a song written by Mark Mueller (words & music) and recorded by rock band Heart. A Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 hit peaking at #10, it was released as the fourth single from the band's self-titled 1985 album Heart, and was the fourth song from the album to hit the U. S. Top 10. It also was a Top 40 hit in the UK, peaking at #38 in 1988 (after reaching number 76 in the UK Singles Chart two years earlier during its original release). Lyrically it is a love song which describes a new relationship which falls into place without effort or conflict. The song's title phrase is employed both when the narrator describes the new relationship as being like "nothin' at all" (that she's ever previously experienced), and also when she asks the song's subject what he did to make falling in love so easy, his response is "nothin' at all". The song's music video received heavy rotation on MTV and this single was the last big hit from the Heart album.

when it adds up to nothin' 
It makes you wonder why you try
Stunned and numb left wondering why when 
The truth is cruel, the lies turn white
I called and couldn't reach you, I got too hung up 
I'm a phase that you've outgrown, 
Lying in the darkness all alone
You got a fake i.d. and somewhere else to be with someone who isn't me 
Tell yourself it meant something, 
Used to mean a lot to me
Something died, just the pain survived
When I got tired of crying i dried my eyes
Burn the bridges that you must, 
Past to ashes, trust to dust, empty loneliness and lust 
Love wasn't enough, trust wasn't enough
I believed what you said was true, ever always only you
Just another broken trust, nothing's forever 
I believe what you said was true 
It wasn't enough
I believe that you meant it too
It wasn't enough 'cause your promise means nothin' 
Much less than nothin', 'cause you left me with nothing now
