Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Baby, won’t you just listen?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Please
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I never really thought I’d be sitting here all alone
Staring down at the phone
Damn, what did I do that was so wrong?
And girl, I never thought you would move on
Can’t believe you’re gone
It’s killing me, my heart ain’t your home
(So how?)
Thought I was the one but you done left me out
(And now)
And now
Now I can’t see nothing (Oh yeah)
And now my everything done turned to nothing (It’s nothing, baby)
What can I do? What can I say? Nothing (Oh, nothing)
Wish I could’ve stopped you walking out
Should have screamed out loud (Oh, oh)
Baby, can’t you hear me? (Can you hear me?)
Don’t you miss me? (Miss me)
‘Cause I’m hurting, girl, I wish that you could feel me (Yeah)
I guess there’s nothing
Wish that you would talk to me or something (Yeah)
You ain’t saying nothing, no
I never even gave you 100 percent
I never said what I meant, damn
Girl, I never thought you’d be burnt out, now my heart is breaking down
It’s killing me, I can’t save it and it’s gone
(So how?)
Thought I was the one but you done left me out
(And now)
And now
Now I can’t see nothing
And now my everything done turned to nothing (Everything done turned)
What can I do? What can I say? Nothing (Yeah)
Wish I could’ve stopped you walking out (Why did you walk out my life?)
Should have screamed out loud
Baby, can’t you hear me? (Hear me)
Don’t you miss me? (Miss me)
‘Cause I’m hurting, girl, I wish that you could feel me
I guess there’s nothing
Wish that you would talk to me or something (Yeah)
You ain’t saying nothing, no
One of the things I miss most is how you made me feel so right (Oh, oh)
And even though you’re gone, I’m all alone, hey
I dream ’bout you day and night
Day and night (In my life), I’m breaking down
I’m wishing my baby was next to me
Can’t you see? ‘Cause I don’t know who else to love (I don’t know, oh)
Now I can’t see nothing
And now my everything done turned to nothing (Now I got nothing, whoa-whoa)
What can I do? What can I say? Nothing (Oh, what can I do? Oh)
Wish I could’ve stopped you walking out
Should have screamed out loud
Baby, can’t you hear me? (Hear me)
Don’t you miss me? (Miss me)
‘Cause I’m hurting, girl, I wish that you could feel me (Feel me)
I guess there’s nothing
Wish that you would talk to me or something (Oh, oh)
You ain’t saying nothing, no
Nothing (No)
And now my everything done turned to nothing (No, no, no, no, no)
What can I do? What can I say? Nothing
Wish I could’ve stopped you walking out
Should have screamed out loud
Baby, can’t you hear me?
Heartbreak and Regret: A Closer Look at “Nothin”
“Nothin” by Chris Brown dives deep into the emotional aftermath of a breakup. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of regret and longing, as the narrator grapples with the consequences of taking a relationship for granted. The repeated lines, “Now I can’t see nothing / And now my everything done turned to nothing,” highlight the depth of his loss and the emptiness left behind. Brown’s raw vocals amplify the pain of missed opportunities and words left unsaid, making the song relatable to anyone who has ever wished for just one more chance. The introspective tone and honest admissions reflect the universal struggle of coming to terms with love lost and the silence that follows.
