I Am Nothing — Nellie McKay

You, traffic on the line Strangers all around Nothing here but time I don't see a sound Floating high above Every little town People who can love

Please don't leave me now I am nothing Please don't leave me out I am nothing

You, coursing through my veins Pulsing every pound Panic on parade Cutting through the crowd Music fills my brain I know I let you down Take me back again

Please don't leave me now I am nothing Please don't leave me out I am nothing

You, footsteps on the floor Do they make a sound Open up the door

Please don't leave me now
