Margaret G Dick – Nothing To Gain lyrics

It was well past three
When I found out you lied
Had I not been so drunk
Maybe I wouldn’t have cried
But I did and they said
“oh sweet girl don’t you cry
For a doll with no head
There’s no need for goodbyes”

Have to go, run, leave, get away
I know there ain’t Nothing to Gain
Cause you’re not gonna change and I’m going insane

I went in with the waves
Bid farewell to my pride
I resigned to the flood
Let it drown out my mind
By the time my eyes dried
My whole being was sore
And I knew then
I won’t cry for you anymore

It’s not worth all this heart
All this soul all this time
When lovers and givers
Have queued up in line
They say I am lovely
They say I’m enough
So what’s up with you?
Why don’t you say that stuff?

Have to go, run, leave, get away
I know there ain’t Nothing to Gain
Cause you’re not gonna change and I’m going insane

I use all of my strength
To resist every urge
To pull you in close
Or to tell you I’m hurt.
And I hope for the best,
Think this could be the day
I stop getting tangled in looks on your face

A bit like a bite from
An apple gone bad
The sweetness I longed for
Don’t taste like I planned
And a worm pokes his head
From the bite that I took
Says “lady next time maybe
Get a closer look
Next time read the signs
I put up on the skin
The bruises and spots
Weren’t to draw people in”

Have to go, run, leave, get away
I know there ain’t Nothing to Gain
You’re not gonna change and I’m going insane
