What's Left Of Me

For some strange reason, at my lowest points, I always find comfort in power-pop-ballads. If it isn't the Backstreet Boys, it's Kelly Clarkson... or in this case, Nick Lachey. Though I have not had the pleasure of divorcing a press-obsessed blonde bimbo, this song is pretty much "it". I'm broken, I'm faded, I'm half of what I thought I would be... and whoever wants to, can have what's left of me.

More is disappearing every day.

Watched my life pass me by in the rearview mirror
Pictures frozen in time are becoming clearer
I don't wanna waste another day stuck in the shadow of my mistakes

Cause I want you and I feel you crawling underneath my skin
Like a hunger, like a burnin to find a place I've never been
Now I'm broken, and I'm faded I'm half the man I thought I would be
But you can have what's left of me.

I've been dying inside little by little
Nowhere to go but goin' outta my mind
In endless circles runnin from myself until
You gave me a reason for standing still

And I want you and I feel you crawling underneath my skin
Like a hunger, like a burnin to find the place I've never been
Now I'm broken, and I'm faded I'm half the man I thought I would be
But you can have what's left of me.

Fallin' faster barely breathing
Give me somethin to believe in
Tell me it's not all in my head
Take what's left of this man
Make me whole once again

Cause I want you and I feel you crawling underneath my skin
Like a hunger, like a burnin to find the place I've never been
Now I'm broken, and I'm faded I'm half the man I thought I would be
You can have, all that's left, what's left of me

I've been dying inside you see
I'm goin outta my mind (outta my mind)
I'm just runnin' in circles all the time
Will you take what's left? -- of me
I'm just runnin' in circles in my mind
Will you take what's left?
Take what's left of me
