Nothing Hits Like Nothing.v2

You left your hoodie on the chair,

Still smells like smoke and April air.

I tried to wash the thought away,

But memories don’t fade that way.

I laugh when I don’t mean it,

Smile so I don’t feel it.

Every time I close my eyes,

It’s quiet but it’s loud inside.

And nothing hits like nothing,

Just staring at the ceiling,

The silence got me falling,

But I can’t find the feeling.

You’re gone, but I’m still haunted —

A ghost that’s self-invented.

Yeah, nothing hits like nothing,

When you meant something.

All my friends say I’ll move on,

I nod and play along.

But they don’t see the shape you left,

Inside my chest, it still connects.

I talk like I’m okay now,

But truth just won’t stay down.

Every time the light turns low,

I see your shadow in the glow.

And nothing hits like nothing,

Just staring at the ceiling,

The silence got me falling,

But I can’t find the feeling.

You’re gone, but I’m still haunted —

A ghost that’s self-invented.

Yeah, nothing hits like nothing,

When you meant something.

Wish I could un-remember,

The warmth that winter rendered.

You’re gone but not forever —

You live in my surrender.

And nothing hits like nothing,

Just echoes where you’re missing,

I chase the dark for comfort,

‘Cause pain is what I’m kissing.

You’re gone, but I still want it —

This emptiness you started.

Yeah, nothing hits like nothing,

When you meant something.
