What's Left
3 Doors Down Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A few pictures, two tickets, from a trip we took last year
A handful of memories, some still seem clear
Few regrets, couple melodies, that remind me of you
Well, I could say that I won't miss this
But that wouldn't be the truth

There's no one here to blame and this is the only way
There's nothing left for us, to say

It's time to let you go, it's what we have to do
It's time to give this up, I think that we both knew
There's nothing left to say, there's nothing left to prove
And now it's time to turn and walk away from
What's left of me and you
What's left of me and you

Box of letters, that old t-shirt, still brings me back to you
A few more hours in the day, not sure what I should do
There's no one here to blame, and this is the only way
There's nothing left for us to say

It's time to let you go, it's what we have to do
It's time to give this up, I think that we both knew
There's nothing left to say, there's nothing left to prove
And now it's time to turn and walk away from
What's left of me and you

You were the best thing I'll ever give up
And it's hard to see the truth
When you think you're still in love
The only way to get on with my life
Is to say goodbye, so goodbye

It's time to let you go, it's what we have to do
It's time to give this up, I think that we both knew
There's nothing left to save and nothing left to prove
And now it's time to turn and walk away from
What's left of me and you
Whoa-oh-oh that's left of me and you





A few pictures, two tickets, from a trip we took last year
A handful of memories, some still seem clear

Some of the experiences we shared are still vivid in my mind


Few regrets, couple melodies, that remind me of you
Though I have some regrets, there are also some songs that bring back memories of times with you


Well, I could say that I won't miss this
I could pretend that moving on won't be hard, but that wouldn't be truthful


But that wouldn't be the truth
I admit that letting go is not easy for me


There's no one here to blame and this is the only way
Neither of us is at fault for relationship coming to an end, and moving on is the only option

We have said all there is to say, there's nothing else to discuss


It's time to let you go, it's what we have to do
It's necessary to let go of our relationship and move forward

Accepting that our relationship is over can be difficult


When you think you're still in love
When you think you still have feelings for someone, it can be hard to let go


The only way to get on with my life
The only path forward is to move on from the relationship


Is to say goodbye, so goodbye
The only course of action left is to say goodbye


Whoa-oh-oh that's left of me and you
That's all that remains of our relationship
