Watch my life,
Pass me by,
In the rear view mirror
Pictures frozen in time
Are becoming clearer
I don't wanna waste another day
Stuck in the shadow of my mistakes
Yeah...
[Chorus]
Cause I want you,
And I feel you,
Crawling underneath my skin
Like a hunger,
Like a burning,
To find a place I've never been
Now I'm broken,
And I'm faded,
I'm half the man I thought I would be:
But you can have what's left of me
I've been dying inside,
Little by little,
No where to go,
But going out of my mind
In endless circles,
Running from my self until,
You gave me a reason for standing still
[Chorus]
It's falling faster,
Barely breathing,
Give me something,
To believe in
Tell me: It's not all in my head
Take what's left
Of this man
Make me whole
Once again
[Chorus]
I've been dying inside you see
I'm going out of my mind
Out of my mind
I'm just running in circles all the time
Will you take what's left
Will you take what's left
Will you take what's left of me?
Just running in circles in my mind
Will you take what's left
Will you take what's left
Will you take what's left of me?

What's Left of Me is the first single to be released from Nick Lachey's second album. To date, it is Lachey's most successful single as a solo artist. The ballad expresses how Lachey feels about the divorce situation with his ex-wife Jessica Simpson. The video features Vanessa Minnillo former Miss Teen USA, and current TRL VJ, who in the video clip assumingly plays the Jessica Simpson character. As the video moves on, objects from the house begin to disappear. At the end of the video, the wedding ring that Vanessa is wearing in a necklace also disappears, seconds later Vanessa disappears before Nick's eyes. A final shot of Nick standing on an empty house projects the theme of the song, and show that there's nothing 'left of him'.
