Only Thing Left

She plucks her strings
Like waves flow and crash on the shore
But now she packs her things like winter preparing for snow

And now my lungs ache as I watch her
Leave in the night
Creeping out the shadow
Our last days cast with the light
Of memories that shine so bright
My hands ache as my heart ignites

But now darling you are the only thing left
That keeps my heart in my chest
Don't cry or I'll cry too I bet

I often wonder why I can't be alone sometimes
Maybe my self esteem just depends on the
look in her eyes Well she's just turned 18
Realised that life didn't just start
My friends all left
But I just can't find it in my heart

To leave my family and art
These forces they pull us apart

But now darling you are the only thing left
That keeps my heart in my chest
Don't cry or I'll cry too I bet

And now baby
There's things that I just have to say
My problems are simple these days
I'm so scared of fading away
