Nothing Left In Me Lyrics

I tried to be strong and I tried to stay calm
I answered their questions and answered them wrong
I say why do I have nothing left in me
Battered and torn, I was beaten and scorned
I struggled with guilt where it didn't belong
I say why do I have nothing left in me

Blame your life and blame your chances
Put it down to their defences
Battle lines and pure invention
They'll destroy your best intention
As long as they're in control
How can we possibly know
Where we'll go or where it all will end

You want to be kind and you want to be true
You probably believe that they want it too
I say why do I have nothing left in me
With peace in your hands and with peace in your heart
You try to give love: they try just to start
I say why do I have nothing left in me

Blame your life and blame your chances
Put it down to their defences
Battle lines and pure invention They'll destroy your best intention
As long as they're in control
How can we possibly know
Where we'll go or where it all will end
Where we'll go or where it all will end

So I sit here and write: I refuse now to fight
I gave all I had: they took what they liked
I say why do I have nothing left in me
And one day there'll be truth and one day they will see
It'll all be too late and they'll probably blame me
I say why do I have nothing left in me

Blame your life and blame your chances
Put it down to their defences
Battle lines and pure invention
They'll destroy your best intention
As long as they're in control
How can we possibly know
Where we'll go or where it all will end

As long as they're in control, how can we
How can we possibly know
Where we'll go or where it all will end
Where we'll go or where it all will end
