Nothing At All
Unveiling Heartbreak: Trijntje Oosterhuis's Emotive Journey
Lyrics
Today's the day I stopped
Expressing the decision to stop a certain activity or behavior.
Trying to figure out why
Reflecting on the futility of trying to understand why something happened.
You let me get away so easily
Questioning why the person allowed an easy separation despite being the one ending the relationship.
Even though I was the one who called it over
Acknowledging that the speaker initiated the breakup.
I guess you didn't even try anymore
Suggesting that the other person didn't put effort into salvaging the relationship.
Maybe tomorrow, I can forgive
Expressing a hope to forgive in the future.
I do want to thank you
Acknowledging gratitude, but with a sarcastic tone, for unspecified reasons.
For absolutely nothing
Emphasizing that there's nothing worth thanking for.
Nothing at all, mmmm, nothing at all
Repeating the idea of expressing gratitude for "nothing at all."
So I better pack these heavy bags and run
Deciding to leave and escape from the situation by packing bags.
Knowing I cannot afford to show anything
Acknowledging the need to conceal true feelings due to financial constraints.
And even though I was the
Reiterating that the speaker initiated the breakup.
One who called it over
Repeating the idea that the speaker ended the relationship.
Every day I find it harder to pretend
Expressing difficulty in pretending and maintaining a facade as time passes.
So maybe tomorrow, I can forgive
Expressing a hope to forgive in the future (repeated from line 6).
For now I just thank you
Repeating gratitude for "absolutely nothing."
For absolutely nothing
Emphasizing that there's nothing worth thanking for (repeated from line 8).
Nothing at all, at all, nothing at all
Repeating the idea of expressing gratitude for "nothing at all" (repeated from line 9).
At all nothing at all, whoa, nothing at all
Reiterating the sentiment of expressing gratitude for "nothing at all."
Even though you gave me hard times
Acknowledging difficult times caused by the other person, yet hinting at forgiveness.
I'll be able to forgive you
Expressing the possibility of forgiving despite not loving the person anymore.
But I feel like loving you no more
Admitting a loss of love for the person.
And how it goes you can never tell
Highlighting the uncertainty of how things unfold after a breakup.
Just know you'll never have my heart back
Stating that the person will never regain the speaker's heart.
And I just wanna thank you again
Expressing gratitude again, sarcastically emphasizing "nothing at all."
For nothing at all, at all, at all, whoa
Repeating gratitude for "nothing at all" with emphasis (repeated from line 16).
Nothing at all, nothing at all
Reiterating the sentiment of expressing gratitude for "nothing at all" (repeated from line 18).
Nothing at all
Emphasizing the repeated theme of gratitude for "nothing at all."
Whoa, whoa, nothing at all, nothing at all
Repeating the idea of expressing gratitude for "nothing at all" (repeated from lines 19 and 27).
Nothing at all, you let down, you let me down
Concluding with a statement about feeling let down by the other person.
