Mr. Nothing

Wake up Mr. Nothing
And watch me walk away
Seems that your agenda
Doesn't include me again today

Take one more look
Before I walk out the door
Then go on about your business
As you've always done before

Hold on just a minute
I have one more thing for you
It's a thank you from the heart
For what you didn't do

You didn't show me love
Though I gave it in return
You didn't seem to care
For the bridges you would burn

You almost never listened 
To what I had to say
So I thank you for the nothing
That I'm leaving with today
