I Don't Feel Anything
Willie Nelson · Laying My Burdens Down
I don't feel anything what was I worried for
I don't feel love or hate or anything that I felt before
Why was I so afraid of seeing you again
Cause it's the strangest thing I don't feel anything
How I must have loved you once upon a time
And I can't seem to feel emotion now of any kind
Why was I so afraid of seeing you again
Cause it's the strangest thing I don't feel anything
[ guitar ]
You look the same as always time's been good to you
But I must confess that time has done a few things for me too
Why was I so afraid...
But it's the strangest thing I don't feel anything
I don't feel love or hate or anything that I felt before
Why was I so afraid of seeing you again
Cause it's the strangest thing I don't feel anything
How I must have loved you once upon a time
And I can't seem to feel emotion now of any kind
Why was I so afraid of seeing you again
Cause it's the strangest thing I don't feel anything
[ guitar ]
You look the same as always time's been good to you
But I must confess that time has done a few things for me too
Why was I so afraid...
But it's the strangest thing I don't feel anything
I Don't Feel Anything
Willie Nelson's 'I Don't Feel Anything' appears on his 1986 album 'Laying My Burdens Down,' a collection of songs reflecting on the passage of time and the quiet resignation that often accompanies aging. The track exemplifies Nelson's signature country style, blending acoustic guitar with his distinctive vocal delivery to explore themes of emotional detachment and the inevitability of change. Released during a period where Nelson frequently revisited his earlier material with new perspectives, the song stands as a poignant addition to his extensive discography, capturing the essence of his late-career introspection without resorting to dramatic flair.
