Living here without you
Is not an easy way of life.
I spend my time without you,
I try to make it all worthwhile.
Standing in a rainfall
Coming down from the sky.
Why should I cry
Over you?
Why should I cry

I keep on thinking about you.

Ive built my world around you
Like a call without reply.
My love has lost direction,
Shes got the sun in her eyes.
Why should I cry...
Hearing your footsteps, loud on my stairs
(a-walking...) - living without you.
Feeling the sweet sweet smell of love in the air
(I can feel it...) - living without you.
Kissing the face that I see everywhere
But Im living without you,
Living without.
