"When There's Nothing Left" is a song written by Katy Perry (then Katy Hudson) and Scott Faircloff for Hudson's self-titled album, Katy Hudson.

Background

Hudson explained the meaning of the song on her site in 2001.

"This song is a crisp, clean, simple "love note" to God kind of song. I was thinking of how many instances we have these love stories about couples doing whatever they have to do to be together, they would even die to be together. I wanted to write about a more famous love story, one that did do everything so that we could be together eternally. I wrote as though I was in love romantically with Him, like I would always give Him all of me even when I didn't have anymore to give."

Lyrics

When there’s nothing left to give
I will give you more than I ever gave before
When there’s nothing left left to say
I’ll say it all again, but until then…
And I’ll give you my heart, say I love you
Say I love you
And I’ll give you my heart, say I love you
Oh, cause I do, Jesus
No music to play so I sing you my own song
Come on and sing along
When there’s nothing that remains
You still stay the same
You’re looking so strong

When there’s nothing left to give
I will give you more than I ever gave before
