Nothing New

I’ll leave you to revel in your youthful yearnings<br /> I know you like to visit them from time to time<br /> And like a thief I steal the words you write to her<br /> I take them to my heart and I wish them to be mine<br /> <br /> But this is nothing new<br /> But it ain’t nothing<br /> Well this is nothing new<br /> But it ain’t nothing<br /> <br /> You long for sweetness<br /> Does mine make you sickly<br /> Or maybe I no longer have the sweetness you require<br /> There’s nothing sweet about a heart so embittered<br /> It’s ugly and it’s cold and tonight it’s out for hire<br /> <br /> But it ain’t nothing new<br /> But this ain’t nothing<br /> Well this is nothing new<br /> But it ain’t nothing<br /> <br /> We live through this day after day<br /> And complacency’s a curse<br /> But you just can’t escape it<br /> And I’ve arrived at that place where my tolerance gave way<br /> And I struggle to hold my head up high<br /> <br /> But it ain’t nothing new<br /> Well this is nothing new<br /> But it ain’t nothing
