What If I Was Nothing Lyrics

[Verse 1]Just let it go, don't wanna argue anymoreI can't be sure, I know just what we're fightin' forI know you're scared and that you're thinkin' I may goI'm not leavin', I'm not leavin'[Pre-Chorus]And if you're thinkin' I might, might be lead astrayJust remember this one question[Chorus]What if I was nothin'? What if this is true?What if I was nothin', girl, nothin' without youSo what if I was angry? What did you think I'd do?I told you that I love you, girl, I'm nothin' without you[Verse 2]I know it's hard, it seems we've worked at this so longIt's often foolish pride that tells us we're not wrongI hear your voice, you tell me that you'll never goAnd I believe it, I believe it[Pre-Chorus]And if you're thinkin' I might, might be lead astrayJust remember this one questionSee All That Remains LiveGet tickets as low as $55You might also like[Chorus]What if I was nothin'? What if this is true?What if I was nothin', girl, nothin' without youSo what if I was angry? What did you think I'd do?I told you that I love you, girl, I'm nothin' without you[Guitar Solo][Bridge]And we can keep this goin' onWe'll make it work some wayAnd every step, it makes usStronger every day[Pre-Chorus]And if you're thinkin' I might, might be lead astrayJust remember this one question[Chorus]What if I was nothin'? What if this is true?What if I was nothin', girl, nothin' without youSo what if I was angry? What did you think I'd do?I told you that I love you, girl, I'm nothin' without youWhat if I was nothin'? What if this is true? (What if I was nothin'?)What if I was nothin', girl, nothin' without you (What if I was nothin')So what if I was angry? (What if I was nothin') What did you think I'd do?I told you that I love you, girl, I'm nothin' without you12EmbedCancel

How to Format Lyrics:

• Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
• Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
• Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
• Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
• If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
