Mariah Carey's "Thanx 4 Nothin"

There comes a time in every man or woman’s life when enough is enough. You opened up to someone and trusted them, eventually exposing yourself in ways you promised you’d never do again. And what did you get in return? Heartache and disappointment. In the end, you just threw your hands up in despair, confused as to what you did to deserve such a cruel fate. Sound familiar?

As I was previewing Mariah Carey’s latest album E=MC², I stumbled upon a song that puts this type of situation in the proper perspective. Check out Carey’s “Thanx 4 Nothin” and let me know if you agree.

The Lyrics:

I can’t even know what to say
I’ve been hurt I’ve been played
And I’m so ashamed
I can’t even cry it’s that deep
You just lie and you cheat
Like it’s nothin’

See you said that you loved me too
And so I trusted you
But I guess that subconsciously I knew
But I didn’t wanna face the truth
That I was only being used
And you was just frontin’
Hey boy, thanx for nothin’

I never knew enough about you babe
And I guess I only have myself to blame
Now I’m broken-hearted and shattering
Cause you were just playin’ a game

Nothin’ anyone could do to convince me babe
I was livin’ in a lie just a masquerade
Now I only know that I’ll never be the same
But you were just playin’ a game
