Waiting for Nothing

When I was a little girl
I thought life was sweet
When I was a little girl
I thought love was real

Now I think I know

That nothing ever lasts
And now I can recall
I used to be happy, long ago

But that time is far over
My summer days have waned
And where I once shouted out
Purely in my joy and laughter

That’s all over now
That’s all over now

I used to dream of a different time
But it never came
Success, fame, and riches would happen
Because they were something I deserved

Now I know there’s nothing
The future is here and it’s bleak
Once I looked forward to tomorrow
Instead, now I’m just clutching my sheets

What happened to me?
Where did I go?
Who am I now?
I’m lost without my dreams
