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...
