Don't Have a Thing Lyrics

I looked around for a week or so
Like I was looking for a reason to get up and go
And I haven't found nothing but a heart so true
Yes I don't have a thing if I don't have you
I closed the cover on the saddest book
You've been writing your whole life and only a few look
And I've never tasted a tear like this
At the end two lovers die and never kiss

If you're gonna say something
go on say everything
don't just say anything
If you're gonna love someone
do it honestly
and completely
I saw a moon and it shined so bright
I think I've burned my skin in the middle of the night
And they say you can never choose your turn
But you can make up your mind just watch and learn the way

And you bet the house on a bullshit hand
You knew what you were doing you just didn't give a d***
And it's not easy getting down so low
You just lay there in the fire burning slow
If you're going to make something
make a plan tonight
follow through this life
If you're going to break something
break it open wide
and there's nowhere left to hide

Today I saw a temple built
in the time it took to swallow all this guilt
Today I saw a temple built
in the time it took to swallow all this guilt
