WITHOUT                                          © 2008 Acoustic Ross

i can picture your face sometimes when i hear those three little words
sometimes i think it might be good to go back
i often think that just one kiss from you would heal all my wounds
then i remember who led the first attack

you started this, you finished it, and it's been over and done for some time
still i think it might be coming back
we promised we wouldn't hurt each other then we went straight for the throat
with words as claws we couldn't just retract
our words as claws we couldn't just retract

   so i may sleep alone tonight, but i'll wake up without you
   and i may live alone for a while, but i'm living without you
   and i may think of you too much, but it's what i'd rather do
   because i'd rather live in pain for a while than spend my life with you

i've tried so hard for so so long but i just can't come up with a thing
no reasons obvious why i'm still right here
tried to leave but the exit was gone, now i'm stuck in the corner again
with this emotional dunce cap on my head
the old addictions are building up inside this hollow cavern of me
the emptiness is almost too much to bear
but i've been through this a hundred times, well at least maybe two or three
and though it's difficult i can still breathe the air
i can still breathe
i can still breathe the air

   so i may sleep alone tonight, but i'll wake up without you
   and i may live alone for a while, but i'm living without you
   and i may think of you too much, but it's what i'd rather do
   because i'd rather live in pain for a while than spend my life with you

ain't gonna spend my life with you.
