Backstory:

It's been said that 'life imitates art'.  In this case, 'art imitates life'.  'Nuff said.. ;-)

I brought a first draft (that I wrote awhile back) to my pal, Lorna Flowers, and asked her if she would be interested in finishing the song with me.  Lorna put her songwriting prowess to work, along with a great melody, and voila!

Tracy Rice, an artist/songwriter from Canada and good friend, sang the demo and gave it the 'attitude' that helps the idea hit home.

Kudos to Lorna and Tracy for helping to create and awesome piece of work!!!

Next To Nothing
©  L. Medill/L. Flowers
	
Emotional suicide		
That’s what you committed
Looking back in time		
I can’t believe you did it
You wanted someone else
Pushed me away
Now you’re beside yourself
With a plan that ricocheted
	
(chorus)
You’re next to nothing
Left wanting something
Filled with regrets and empty words
At night in your lonely bed
You’ll be reaching out for me
When you wake up you’ll see
You’re next to nothing

Thoughts of us will resurrect
When you lie awake at night
That’s ‘cause you’ll reflect
At the love you left behind
You’ll turn to your pillow
And find no comfort there
Memories hit blow by blow
Making sure that you’re aware

(chorus)

(bridge)
Love didn’t mean anything to you
But it meant so much to me
Now there’s just an empty setting
Where a diamond used to be

(3rd chorus)
You’re next to nothing
Oh, oh
Filled with regrets and empty words
At night in your lonely bed
You’ll be reaching out for me
When you wake up you’ll see
You’re next to nothing

(tag)
Oh, oh
I know
You’ll be reaching out, oh,
Reaching out for me
But you’re not gonna find me there
No, no
