You're all that's left me.

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
02i
02br
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-
