Nobody Loves You

LYRICS

Watching the days slip by so fast

Knowing our fate has long been cast

Working our fingers to the bone

Cause nobody loves you when you're gone

Coughing up feeling just for you

To find something real to hold on to

But there is a hole inside my heart

Where all of my love comes pouring out.

You know you'll always be my man

But grab yourself sweetness where you can

Cause sooner or later we're going to die

Left to the dogs under the sky

I cracked a piece of broken glass

Cracked a piece of broken glass

Coughing up feeling just for you

To find something real to hold on to

But there is a hole inside my heart

Where waves of my love come tumbling out.

You say that all the good is gone

That I have forgotten who I am

Free as a bird

Wild as the wind

But somehow I cannot let you in

I'm sorry I'm sorry

I'm sorry I'm sorry

Please forgive me, please forgive me

Please forgive me, please forgive me

 Please forgive me, please forgive me

this is not an official Garbage video for the song

"nobody loves you when you're gone.." "cracked a piece of broken glass.." "sooner or later we're going to die, left to the dogs under the sky .."

Shirley has said this song is about people when they get older. I think it's also about her own situation with Garbage and her marriage during the time between Version 2.0 and Beautifulgarbage. It's about loss and the futility of wasted love.

This is my favorite line. Reminds me of sitting on the sidewalk with friends when I was a kid.

I think Nobody Loves You is 'bout Garbage fans. Fans are saying she has changed and Shirley thinks they don't love Garbage between albums & live tours.

This line is Shirley's fear of Garbage's failure. She knows it's inevitable that one day their critics will literally pull them to pieces.
