All I Have Left

You were the one thing I held so tight You were the one thing that helped me fight I didn't know you long, and I don't know why But without someone to love, I feel like I die I am as empty inside as someone can be And that angelic face set me free I got upset, my sadness overcome me one day I that is why alone in this life I lay I said stuff I regret, but I am lost I messed up and I'm left to pay the cost But without one thing to keep a smile on my face I am left to feel like such a disgrace It was not what you wanted I understand But it was not what I had planned I didn't want you to be the last girl I'd know I wanted my heart to open up and grow But alas, all I feel now is pain These crazed emotions are making me insane I wanted to fix myself for you But I should have known it was too good to be true You were the last thing keeping me on my feet Now I will just sit back in my seat I will let life pass me by And everyday I'll ask myself why But I messed up one day, and I am lost I messed up and I'm left to pay the cost You didn't have to do much to set me free When we first met I started finding me I puzzled myself together again, to just lose the pieces My life stops here, this is where it ceases I no longer know what I am doing, but you taught me to follow my heart Right now I am just trying to find it, it has been torn apart It was already worn and torn by the time you came aroun' But you were the one last thing I enjoyed in this town Now I have nothing left, no other reason to smile You were my everything, I was oh so docile But I didn't have anything left after you I lay awake and haven't a thing to do My depression only worsens by the hour This darkness can easily devour I am lost in the abyss What if all I needed was a tender kiss? A song repeats over and over in my head But every line in it is now dead I hardly find the energy to wake up My life is easy, why do I make it tough? This pain is hurting my very soul I don't want it to take a toll I don't have the energy to go to church I am left alone to search Hear me out, this is my final cry I wish I could rewind, and why? Because although I knew you a week Your were all I had, now I am weak Just don't tell em all the truth, I have nothing left I am innocent and free of theft I am headed down a dead end road My mind is running on overload I'd give anything to fix it all But right now I'm destined to fall And now all I have left to do Is write on about you...
