The Weeknd Nothing Compares Lyrics
[Verse]
I been tryin’ hard to find the words to say (Find the words to say)
If we tried again, we’d make the same mistakes (Ooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah)
[Pre-Chorus]
Asphyxiated, (Asphyxiated) I’ll never make it (I’ll never make it)
Without my baby, ooh-oh, ooh-oh
So I fill the void, I know you do the same (Ooh)
Oh, ooh-ooh-ooh, oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
Nothing compares to the emptiness we both share (Yeah)
And nobody cares like you do (Oh yeah)
You ask for my heart, but I didn’t know where to start (Oh, oh no)
But they don’t think of you like I do (Ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah, woah)
[Verse 2]
I try my best to not get high again (Oh baby, I can’t get high again)
But I’ve been stuck inside this place for days on end (La-da-da-da-da-da-da)
[Pre-Chorus]
Intoxicated, (Intoxicated) I’ll never make it (I’ll never make it)
Without my baby, oh, ooh-oh, ooh
So I fill the void just like I’d do back then (Ooh)
Oh, ooh-ooh, oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
Nothing compares to the emptiness we both share (No, no, no)
Nobody cares like you do (Like you do, ooh yeah)
You ask for my heart, (Heart) but I didn’t know where to start (No, no, no, ooh, oh)
But they don’t think of you like I do (Ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah)
[Bridge]
I seen darker days, (Woah) tryna keep my faith (Oh)
I sin too much to pray for you (For you)
Even when it’s great, I still walk away
I couldn’t even change for you
If you’re the air I need, I’m dying just to breathe
I hope that you’re not dying too
Tryna keep my faith
I sin too much to pray for you
[Chorus]
Nothing compares to the emptiness we both share
Nobody cares like you do
You ask for my heart, but I didn’t know where to start
But they don’t think of you like I do
