I clean the bottles from the table and pull the shade down on the light.
I put away all I was able, now all that's left to do is sit and cry.
Not long ago, you were my darling -- my only friend left on the Earth -- and I never dreamed that we'd be parting (and I still don't for what it's worth).
I've got your letter on my pillow. It said your love had been a lie.
Now my heart is heavy as a headstone and all that's left to do is sit and cry.
If I could sing you one more love song to try to prove my love was true I'd sing it until my lungs were empty. But would it mean a single thing to you?
So just once more I'll say, "I love you". It's one more until the bottle is dry.
I'll spend my whole life thinking of you now all that's left to do is sit and cry.
