Matthew West - 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

[CHORUS]

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
