lyrics

What is left?
We had some pictures and some sounds
but we burned them to the ground
oooh

We had love
but there was a shadow of a doubt
so we called it fake and threw it out - now

all we have
is wrapping paper and shiny ribbons
but not a single thing to wrap with them

and I've learned
no matter how you wrap it up
an empty heart won't get filled up

I know I'm gonna lose my mind
but before I do
I want to tell you something that I never got around to telling you

what is left?
They tell me I am free
just catch a plane and leave
but disappointingly
from point a to point b
it's always
the same
old
me

I know I'm gonna lose my eyes
but before I do
I want to take a minute and for once just really take a look at you

I know I'm gonna lose my hands
but before I do
I want to reach for something that I never would have thought I could get to

I know I'm gonna lose my mind
but before I do
I want to finally tell you that I
oooonly ever loved
you
