Nothing else

I tried money
I got as much as I could and I went to the store
And I bought it all
But it wasn´t enough ´cause I wanted some more
But my house was full
So I bought a bigger house and filled it up
And there I was with all that stuff
And empty
Nothing else can take the place of You
Nothing else can take the place of You
Still I try friendship
I called everyone I knew
And invited them over for a party
They ate all the free food
And they told me how much they loved me
But when the food was gone
My friends were gone
And there I was all alone
And empty
So take the place
The place of You
And fill this space
The way You do
I´m tired of searching
Those days are through
So take the place
It´s made for You
Not friends or money or alcohol
None of these things, believe me
You can try them all
Not status
Not success
I know none of these things will ever bring true happiness
I got as much as I could and I went to the store
And I bought it all
But it wasn´t enough ´cause I wanted some more
But my house was full
So I bought a bigger house and filled it up
And there I was with all that stuff
And empty
Nothing else can take the place of You
Nothing else can take the place of You
Still I try friendship
I called everyone I knew
And invited them over for a party
They ate all the free food
And they told me how much they loved me
But when the food was gone
My friends were gone
And there I was all alone
And empty
So take the place
The place of You
And fill this space
The way You do
I´m tired of searching
Those days are through
So take the place
It´s made for You
Not friends or money or alcohol
None of these things, believe me
You can try them all
Not status
Not success
I know none of these things will ever bring true happiness
