[Verse 1] Whisper soft like itās a secret, But I hear the lies underneath. Like if I heard the words I'd be crushed So you sugarcoat the grief. [Pre-Chorus] Tiptoe āround the edges, afraid to break the glass, But I donāt shatter easy, I was built to last. If youāre gonna say it, say it loud, Hold your breath, Iām not backing down. [Chorus] No more sweet nothings, save your breath, I want the truth, not what sounds best. Donāt wrap it in ribbons, donāt soften the blow, Say what you mean or just let it go. If itās ugly, if it burns then let it sting. Sweet nothings don't mean anything [Instrumental Solo] [Verse 2] You only speak when silence wonāt save you, And even then, itās half the truth. Your setting me up for failure Not saying sweet words that soothe [Instrumental Solo] [Pre-Chorus] Tiptoe āround the edges, afraid to break the glass, But I donāt shatter easy, I was built to last. If youāre gonna say it, say it loud, Hold your breath, Iām not backing down. [Chorus] No more sweet nothings, save your breath, I want the truth, not what sounds best. Donāt wrap it in ribbons, donāt soften the blow, Say what you mean or just let it go. If itās ugly, if it burns then let it sting. Sweet nothings don't mean anything [Bridge] Sweet nothings, over and over, Sweet nothings, colder and colder. You speak like it means something But it never did. It never did. [Instrumental Solo] [Chorus] No more sweet nothings, save your breath, I want the truth, not what sounds best. Donāt wrap it in ribbons, donāt soften the blow, Say what you mean or just let it go. If itās ugly, if it burns then let it sting. Sweet nothings don't mean anything [Outro Instrumental Solo]
