0Hi all, I have a question to ask. 02br 02br 00I heard a song titled "IF" by Bread the other day and found out that lyric goes something like this.02br 02br 01i00If a picture paints a thousand words, 02br 00then why can't I paint you? 02br 00The words will never show the you I've come to know. 02br 02br 00if a face could launch a thousand ships, 02br 00then where am I to go? 02br 00There's no one home but you, 02br 01b01font00You're all that's left me too.02font02b02br 02br 00And when my love for life is running dry,02br 00you come and pour yourself on me.02br 00...02br 02i02br 02br 00I don't quite get the meaing of the blue colored sentence. 02br 02br 00I don't think the word 'left' in the sentence mean "go away from someplace or someone."02br 02br 00Rather, it should mean 'remain.' Then, in my little knowledge of English, the sentence must go like "You're all that's left to me."02br 02br 00I googled "01font00* that's left me02font00" and there are some sentences such as "This book is all that's left me now."02br 02br 00I am confused. Could anyone clarify me on this?0-
