I think Nick made this song to reflect on an individual who is putting energy into a relationship with a significant other; but not the right kind of energy.
They are trying to be happy with the person because they have feelings for them but.. at the same time they are lying to themselves and their...
[Verse 1]
You keep on lying, you keep on lying to me
You’re keeping me tired, you’re keeping me tired, I see
You keep on trying, enough to rely on me
You keep on lying, enough to deny you can see
[Pre-Chorus]
When you curl up in bed and
It's you in your head now
Are you living?
When you look straight ahead and
You wish you were dead now
Are you giving?
[Chorus]
You’re giving it all for nothing
You’re giving it all for nothing
I know
You’re giving it all for nothing
You’re giving it all for nothing
I know
[Verse 2]
You keep on lying, you keep on lying to me
You’re keeping me tired, you’re keeping me tired, I see
You keep on trying, enough to rely on me
You keep on lying, enough to deny, you can see
[Pre-Chorus]
Now listen
When you curl up in bed
And it's you in your head now
Are you living?
When you look straight ahead and
You wish you were dead now
Are you giving?
[Chorus]
You’re giving it all for nothing (You keep crawling)
You’re giving it all for nothing (You keep crawling)
I know (In trouble)
You’re giving it all for nothing (You keep crawling)
You’re giving it all for nothing (You keep crawling)
I know (In trouble)
You’re giving it all for nothing (You keep crawling)
You’re giving it all for nothing (You keep crawling)
I know (In trouble)
You’re giving it all for nothing (You keep crawling)
You’re giving it all for nothing (You keep crawling)
I know (In trouble)
Now you’re giving
Now you’re giving it all for nothing (You keep crawling)
You’re giving it all for nothing (You keep crawling)
You’re giving it all for nothing, I know (In trouble)
You’re giving it all for nothing
You’re giving it all for nothing, I know
You’re giving it all for nothing
You’re giving it all for nothing, I know
