I got off of the plane okay
And now I have a city to myself
The strangers in the coffee shops, the sidewalks, and the way the evening smells

But none of it distracts me in the way that I had planned
Or brings me back my smile like I was hoping
Now there's a distance between me and the world that's offering its hand
And I have you to thank for that, thanks for nothing

It's probably raining off in London
If it's snowing here in Nashville, Tennessee
Oh I hope he's taking care of you
And showing you you're where you need to be

But I don't want you to leave him
Once he gives himself away
The way a match looks after it's done glowing
Oh you don't know how it feels to think you'll never be the same
And I have you to thank for that, thanks for nothing

Now the only girls I meet all look for hearts that they can fix
But mine is more like a kid that has gone missing
Now there's a pretty girl in front of me
I know I won't let in
And I have you to thank for that, thanks for nothing
Oh, I have you to thank for that, so thanks for nothing
