Analysis of Not Much At All, If Any



Just tuggin' on that bottle
waitin' for the word to come
Anything to fill that empty space
that was left when you walked on

Should have given up
when I had a chance
and less to lose
I just hope this undertow
isn't dragging you in too

Should have kept this to myself,
but found a way through padded walls
Promised you the world
and left you with nothing at all

I've gone and cursed this house
Just had to open my mouth,
didn't I?
Drain it dry
for all the tears I cost your eyes

I was borne in the soul of misery and I never had me a name... they just gave me a number when I was young... ***BANNED IN A HUNDRED THOUSAND COUNTRIES*** more…
