Nothing

The Script · Science & Faith [2010]

Am I better off dead

Am I better off a quitter

They say I'm better off now

Than I ever was with her

As they take me to my local down the street

I'm smiling but I'm dying trying not to drag my feet



They say a few drinks will help you to forget her

But after one too many I know that I'm never

Only they can see where this is gonna end

But they all think I'm crazy but to me it's perfect sense



And my mates are all there trying to calm me down

'Cause I'm shouting your name all over town

I'm swearing if i go there now

I can change your mind turn it all around



And I know that I'm drunk but I'll say the words

And she'll listen this time even though they're slurred

Dialed her number and confess to her

I'm still in love but all I heard was nothing



So I stumble there, along the railings and the fences

I know if I'm face to face that she'll come to her senses

Every drunk step I take leads me to her door

If she sees how much I'm hurting

She'll take me back for sure



And my mates are all there trying to calm me down

'Cause I'm shouting your name all over town

I'm swearing if I go there now

I can change your mind turn it all around



And I know that I'm drunk but I'll say the words

And she'll listen this time even though they're slurred

Dialed her number and confess to her

I'm still in love but all I heard was nothing



She said nothing

Oh I wanted words but all I heard was nothing

Oh I got nothing

Nothing

I got nothing

Nothing

Oh I wanted words but all I heard was nothing



Oh sometimes love is intoxicating

Oh you're coming down your hands are shaking

When you realize there's no one waiting



Am I better off dead

Am I better off a quitter

They say I'm better off now

Than I ever was with her



And my mates are all there trying to calm me down

'Cause I'm shouting your name all over town

I'm swearing if I go there now

I can change your mind turn it all around



And I know that I'm drunk but I'll say the words

And she'll listen this time even though they're slurred

Dialed her number and confess to her

I'm still in love but all I heard was nothing



She said nothing

Oh I wanted words but all I heard was nothing

Oh I got nothing

Nothing

I got nothing

Nothing

Oh I wanted words but all I heard was nothing

Oh I got nothing

I got nothing

I got nothing

Nothing - The Script

The Script's 'Nothing' serves as a poignant centerpiece on their 2010 album Science & Faith, blending acoustic guitar with emotive vocals to explore themes of emotional detachment and existential questioning. Released during the height of the band's international success, the track exemplifies their signature blend of folk-rock and pop sensibilities, characterized by raw, unpolished delivery that resonates with listeners seeking authenticity. While the song does not chart as a single in the same manner as their earlier hits, it remains a significant part of their discography, reflecting the band's evolution from their debut era to a more mature, introspective sound. The recording captures the band's ability to craft atmospheric soundscapes that prioritize lyrical depth over commercial polish, cementing their reputation as artists who value genuine expression within the modern pop landscape.
