Bastille, Senator Bernie Sanders, Erika Footman - Sweet Pompeii lyrics

"How are you?" "Well, it's been a long time
Since anybody's asked me that"

You took my heart and you
Held it in your mouth
And with a word all my love came rushing out
And every whisper, it's the worst
Emptied out by a single word
There's a hollow in me now

It isn't easy for me to let it go
Cause, I swallow every single word
And every whisper, every sigh
Eats away this heart of mine
And there is a hollow in me now

So I put my faith in something unknown
I'm living on such sweet nothing
But, I'm trying to hope with nothing to hold
I'm living on such sweet nothing
And it's hard to learn and it's hard to love
When you're giving me such sweet nothing
Sweet nothing, sweet nothing
You're giving me

But, if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before?

The lesson to be learned here is
Since their greed and recklessness
And illegal behavior
So many people to lose their homes
These guys have learnt nothing!

How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
If you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?

"I'm great"
