"Everything but You"

By Brian McFadden

Since you left
Things have changed
I got all the things
I said would come my way
I got paid, got accolades
Now you barely recognise
The life I've made

I thought you wanted
What I wanted
You left me
Left me wanting you

Chorus

Now I've got nothing
I've got nothing
If I've got everything
but you
We had something
That I've been missing
Since I've got everything
Everything but you

You know I got so much
But nothing's
worth enough
To put a price on us

(Chorus)
