Don't Have a Thing

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 a cover on the saddest book
 You've been writing your whole life and only if you 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 burned my skin in the middle of the night
 And they say you can never choose your time
 But you can make up your mind, just watch it wind away
 And you bet the house on a bullshit hand
 You knew what you were doing, you just didn't give a damn
 And it's not easy getting down so low
 You just lay there in the fire, burning smoke
 If you're gonna make something
 Make a plan in mind, follow through this life
 If you're gonna 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
