You Gave Nothing

I know its time now
 To make a change in my life
 There has been this empty feeling
 My heart is full of strife
 Oh it makes me sad
 When I remember
 That you weren't there no
 When I needed you
 Now I feel
 Your love was never real
 'Cause you gave nothing
 Now I know
 Though I loved you so
 You gave nothing
 There's never a hug when I need it
 Where was the wanted kiss
 Where was the listening ear
 What kind of love is this?
 Where was the reaching hand
 To hold my needy hand
 Where was the protective man
 Who would understand?
 Now I feel
 Your love was never real
 'Cause you gave nothing
 Now I know
 Though I loved you so
 You gave nothing
 There was never any comfort
 When darkness called
 Where were you been
 I couldn't find you at all?
 Where was the belief
 In my talents and abilities
 Were you so self-absorbed
 That you couldn't please?
 I know now that I'm tired
 (Lord have mercy)
 And I know that I'm through
 'Cause I can't get
 I can't get, no
 What I need from you
 What I need
 What I need
 What I need is love
 What I need is love
 And it's not me you're thinking of
 Now I got to move on
 (I can tell it's time)
 I got to move on
 I'm moving on
 I'm movin' on
 (Lord have mercy)
 I'm gone
