IF YOU'VE GOT NOTHING

IF YOU'VE GOT NOTHING

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

2019

I COULD OF SAID THINGS WERE FINE

I COULD OF SAID I'VE GOT

PEACE OF MIND

I WOULD OF SPOKE TOO SOON

MAYBE I SHOULDN'T BUILD A WALL

SOONER OR LATER

THEY ALWAYS FALL

WHERE'S MY PLACE TO STAND

TO DEFEND TOOTH AND NAIL

I'M JUST BANGING MY HEAD

TRYING TO MAKE THIS WORK

IF YOU'VE GOT NOTHING

THEN WHAT HAVE YOU

I HATE TO SEE, THIS THING

TURN INTO A MONSTER

I SHARPEN MY AXE

FILL IN ALL THE BLANKS

STILL ON THE OUTSIDE

TRYING TO KEEP THIS REAL

SOMETHING I CAN FEEL

BUT NOT QUITE LIKE THIS

MISSION CRITCAL

I DON'T WANT TO CRASH AND BURN

I'VE BEEN THERE

ITS NOT MY TURN

TRYING NOT TO FEED THIS

I DON'T WANT TO SE IT GROW

I'M HOLDING ON

I WON'T LET GO

I COULD OF SAID

ITS ALL FINE AND GOOD 

I DID EVERYTHING I COULD

TIME AFTER TIME

ITS MY HONOR I HAVE TO DEFEND

IF THERE'S A NEED

I'LL FIGHT TO THE END
