It's been seven hours and fifteen days
Since you took your love away.
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since you took your love away.
Since you've been gone
I can do whatever I want.
I can see whoever I choose.
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant.
But nothing,
I said nothing, can take away these blues,
'Cause nothing compares,

Nothing compares to you.

It's been so lonely without you here,

Like a bird without a song.

Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling.

Tell me, baby, where did I go wrong?

I could put my arms around every boy I see,

But they'd only remind me of you.

I went to the doctor, guess what he told me,

Guess what he told me?

He said, girl, you'd better have fun,

No matter what you do,

But he's a fool.

'Cause nothing compares,

Nothing compares to you.

All the flowers that you planted,
In the backyard,
All died when you went away.
I know that living with you, baby, was sometimes hard.
But I'm willing to give it another try
'Cause nothing compares,
Nothing compares to you...

Sinead O'Connor
