[VERSE 1] This is a song written for nothing Just trying out some new skills Finding fresh words worth chasing Feels like pushing stone uphill The styles and sounds may vary But the themes all come and go Love and hurt and broken promises Are the only paths I know [VERSE 2] I ask for suggestions From all my greatest fans And they hand me good ideas That I try to understand But words are funny things Sometimes they just wont flow The feeling has to touch my soul Or the rhythm just wont go [CHORUS] If it’s not love If it’s not pain If it’s not loss All over again It doesn’t work It doesn’t flow It’s not a place My heart can go [BRIDGE] Words can fill a thousand pages But if they don’t touch your heart Then to me the song means nothing It’s lost it’s soul before it starts [FINAL CHORUS] If it’s not love If it’s not pain If it’s not loss All over again It doesn’t work It doesn’t flow It’s not a place My heart can go If your heart isn’t moved By the words that I pen Then I haven’t done them justice I’ll start it all over again
