The Last Piece of You

I packed your letters in an old wooden box. Put away the memories and changed the locks. I thought I'd thrown away everything we knew. Then found one little piece of you. A faded photograph beneath my bed. Still holding every word we never said. You're the last piece of you I couldn't Lose. Mmm. The last old memory I couldn't choose. I let the years take everything away. But your shadow still lives in yesterday. I don't have your touch. I don't have your love. Just one old picture and the stars above. After all the things we went through. You're the last piece of you. That old guitar still plays our song. Even though you've been gone so long. I hear your voice between every chord. Like you're standing somewhere by the door. I don't reach for you Like I used to do. But some part of me Still belongs to you. You're the last piece of you I couldn't lose. The last old memory I couldn't choose. I let the years take everything away. But your shadow still lives In yesterday. I don't have your touch. I don't have your love. Just one old picture and the stars above. After all the things we went through. You're the last piece of you. Maybe someday I'll put it away. Maybe someday it won't hurt this way. But tonight I'll let the old blues play. And remember you one more time Today. You're the last piece of you I carry inside. The last little place where our Love survives. I walked away but I couldn't erase. The memory written all over this place. When everything else has faded from view. I still have one little piece of you. And when this old heart finally learns to let Go. I'll still remember The last piece of you. One photograph, One old song. One little piece That stayed too long.
