I've Got Nothing Left.
I've got nothing left,
Nothing more than seeing people move up and down the road from my store.
I had nothing left,
When I was married,
Leaving my cousin's and family and my parents to start a new family.
I had nothing left,
When my husband died,
Keeping us safe and fighting on the front line.
The only hope I had,
Was to live for my son,
But again...
I had nothing left,
When he divorced his wife and stopped visiting me.
I had nothing left,
When he stopped talking to me,
When he stopped sending me the sum of money he never forgot to send with his beautiful letters.
I had nothing left...
Until I found you,
Sitting and crying in front of my store.
You were three then, and you're eighteen now.
I wonder if you do the same thing as my son did,
I will again be left with nothing,
Nothing more than seeing people move up and down the road from my store.
Until I die waiting for two of my son's. One him and the other one, you...
