[Verse 1] My name goes round from room to room I follow where it falls Somebody always needs me soon Somebody always calls I leave a little of myself In everything I do By night there's nothing left to tell When I sit down with you [Pre-Chorus] Don't look at me that gently I've still got things to do If I should start to feel it I might not make it through [Chorus] Can I come to you with nothing? Can I come to you and stay? With nothing here to offer Nothing left to give away Can I come to you with nothing? Would you want me anyway? [Verse 2] You turn toward the doorway Though nobody has called You listen through the quiet For something down the hall You tell me they're just tired You tell me it's all right Then ask if I need anything Before you say goodnight [Pre-Chorus] Don't look at me that gently I won't know what to say I've learned to make it easy To let me slip away [Chorus] Can I come to you with nothing? Can I come to you and stay? With nothing here to offer Nothing left to give away Can I come to you with nothing? Would you want me anyway? [Bridge] If I leave it till the morning They'll only have to wait I know how small that sounds to you I know how much it takes I've been somebody's answer For longer than I know If I don't have to earn this Why can't I let it show? You don't have to tell me What you cannot say Then don't ask me tomorrow Why I cried today [Final Chorus] Can I come to you with nothing? Can I come to you and stay? With nothing here to offer Nothing left to give away Can I come to you with nothing? Would you want me anyway? [Coda] I thought I'd have to thank you I thought I'd have to try To find some way to pay you For sitting by my side [Outro] I came to you with nothing And I wanted... To stay
