Mott the Hoople Lyrics
"What I Have Left"

[Verse 1]
It all started the day that I thought I've met
My one and only and she was perfect
She's the most beautiful girl I've ever seen
Our time together was perfect like a movie scene
Although we were young and I was just a teen
I wanted to go outside to the world and scream
"I'm the luckiest guy", I was so keen
It felt so good and I felt like I'm a king
And you were my queen and now I'm choking
The day this turned out to be a lie I sat here, I couldn't breathe. I was broken
You see? You and I we were something
Something I'd rather die for but it has ended
Our relationship was the best but you ruined it with no remorse
But what makes it worse is that you forgot me
You grabbed a blade and stabbed me in the heart and you caught me
Off guard, oh god, it was so hard
After being resurrected with your voice you gave me no choice but to breathe again all this pain
And brought back what had killed me before
I can't keep you on my mind anymore
Now I'm sure you're off with another person happy and dreaming about the dinner you had last night
And now having another fight, after that y'all kiss and hug as if nothing happened
But you have pinned me down
And you broke my crown in two
I really loved you, I still want to
But I can't because you make me feel like I've been stepped on
They say it's always darkest before the dawn
But I don't really see a morning in my life
I can't believe I'm mourning for this it's like
What's holding me together is non other than the mic
And I think I might drown in my sorrow tonight
But something keeps pushing me to fight

[Chorus]
No matter where you are
No matter how hurt you are
Now that I'm over you
It eased everything that was so hard (x2)

[Verse 2]
When I remember the time that we've spent
It kills me, I don't know what you really meant when you said
You can't without me and you suddenly disappeared and I was left traumatized
At first I thought you were fucking with me
Then I realized that all of this
Turned out you were fronting on me
But I can't say that I don't miss
Your beauty, your touch, your laugh, your eyes
You took me by surprise
See I tried my best to make you happy and make you feel like you're the happiest girl on earth
You don't really know how much it really hurts
Knowing that you fuckin' brushed me off as if I was dirt
I'm done being played with, what am I? Your toy?
You play with me when you feel down just for joy?
Then you just throw me?
Guess what now I'm not the same and this ain't a game
This is the pain that I don't think you'll ever feel
But the time will come and shits will get real
I used to tease you, please you, relief you
Now it's like a disease
When I remember our time it could kill me with ease
Tell you what, don't come cryin' to me when you regret the things that you've done
Because you did that once
But right now I can say it loud and clear, I am fucking Done

[Chorus]

[Outro]
Yeah, this song is for all the people that are heart broken
Wherever you are i know you're feeling down right now and tonight might seem the darkest night
But trust me, tomorrow is gonna be a brighter day
I've been through all of that and i know how it feels
This is M.O.T.T. and i approve this message
Peace
