Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I remember when I felt bad about myself
I'd run to the store and empty all the shelves
A Gucci bag, a dress, Givenchy shoes, and sweater
I was convinced this shit would make me feel much better
I've had them all Christian, Louis, Louis Vuitton
But none of them guys could fill my empty heart
[Verse 2]
'Cause I had nothing
Nothing when I thought I had it all
I had nothing
Nothing but an empty heart and soul
I had nothing, nothing
'Cause money couldn't buy me love
I had nothing
'Cause what is everything when you don't have love?
Tell me, what is everything if you don't have love?
[Verse 3]
Forever I was looking for
When I looked in the mirror
I couldn't find it, I was blinded
Blinded by flaws
I didn't love myself at all
Didn't think I was beautiful
Didn't have someone to love me so I had to buy some more
More and more and more
[Verse 4]
But I had nothing
Nothing when I thought I had it all
I had nothing
Nothing but an empty heart and soul
I had nothing, nothing
'Cause money couldn't buy me love
I had nothing
'Cause what is everything when you don't have love?
Tell me, what is everything if you don't have love?
[Verse 5]
Money
Can't buy me
No
Say money
Can't buy me
No
[Verse 6]
I had nothing
Nothing when I thought I had it all
I had nothing
Nothing but an empty heart and soul
I had nothing, nothing
'Cause money couldn't buy me love
I had nothing
'Cause what is everything if you don't have love?
Nothing when I thought I had it all
I had nothing
Nothing but an empty heart and soul
I had nothing, nothing
'Cause money couldn't buy me love
I had nothing
'Cause what is everything when you don't have love
Tell me what is everything if you don't have love
[Verse 7]
Nothing, nothing
Nothing, nothing
Nothing, nothing
Nothing, nothing
