Shel Silverstein
No Love Left Inside of Me
Lord knows why you go on trying taking all the hurt
When we both know that I'm trouble than I'm really worth
But still I keep a-hanging on and you keep hanging in
Trying to start the fire will never burn again
'Cause there's no love left inside of me, babe
Still you go on refusing to believe
That everything I've got ain't even half of what you need
Now there's no love left inside of me
Long ago, before your time, when I believed in dreams
I gave it all to someone and he gave it all to me
We found a ladder to the stars and, Lord, we climbed so high
Then something in him turned to stone and something in me died
Now there's no love left inside of me, babe
Still you go on refusing to believe
That everything I've got ain't even half of what you need
Now there's no love left inside of me
