Something instead of nothing

Title: "Something Instead of Nothing"

(Romantic-angry rock ballad with bluesy soul)

Intro

Used to light me up with just one glance,

Now I'm beggin' for a second chance.

You say love’s more than touch—but tell me,

When’s the last time you touched me at all?

---

Verse 1

Baby, it would be good

If you gave me something instead of nothing.

A little look, a little fire,

Not this silence, not this bluffing.

I’ve stood by you, year by year,

But now your kiss just disappears.

---

Verse 2

I remember when you pulled me close,

Made me feel like more than most.

Now I'm lucky for a brush of skin,

Like loving me became a sin.

And I ain't askin' for the world,

Just the woman who rocked my world.

---

Chorus

Give me something instead of nothing,

Don’t leave me in this bed all alone.

If love’s alive, I wanna feel it,

Not just echoes in my head and home.

I ain’t some fool who’s chasing thrills,

But baby, I got needs that still feel real.

---

Verse 3

I know life gets rough, we age, we bend,

But this ain't how real love should end.

You shut down, and I stayed strong,

But even strength can't last this long.

I need your warmth, not just your name,

Don’t make me carry all the blame.

---

Bridge (builds emotionally, raw tone)

I ain’t out here lookin’ to cheat,

But damn it, I’m still alive, still got heat.

You can’t expect me to starve for touch,

And call it love—that ain’t much.

I want you, not just release,

But I need both to find my peace.

---

Verse 4

So baby, hear me—don’t tune me out,

This is my heart, this is my shout.

I want to stay, I want this to last,

But love needs fuel, not just the past.

If there's a spark, don’t let it die,

Don't make me say a last goodbye.

---

Chorus (repeat strong)

Give me something instead of nothing,

Don’t leave me in this bed all alone.

If love’s alive, I wanna feel it,

Not just echoes in my head and home.

I ain’t asking for fairy tales,

Just passion, real, behind the veil.

---

Outro (soft, haunting or loud with edge—your call)

Used to burn like fire in your touch,

Now I’m here wondering why I miss it so much.

You say love’s more than the skin we’re in—

Then why does it feel like we’ll never begin... again?
