Without You

This is not one of my favorites. Sweet romance doesn’t seem to be my style, because my hopelessly pragmatic side tends to push through the mushiness. Maybe some people find pragmatic romance sweet, too. You just don’t hear it a lot.

However, I’m going to share it just for fun. It’s a simple little acoustic thing, meant to just be a quiet song to some guitar or piano chords.

WITHOUT YOU

I can breathe without you

Fears all flee without you

Still sleep deep without you

Dreams will keep without you.

I’m still me without you

Heart still beats without you

Life’s not hell without you

I’ve done damn well without you.

Chorus:

You could run the other way

Say you can’t stand another day

I wouldn’t stop my life for you

My future would look fine

If you weren’t by my side

But I’d rather not be without you.

Bridge:

I can imagine my life without you in it

Don’t need you for me to go on

But I chose you to have me a long time ago

To have and to hold, my whole life long

Chorus

I don’t need you, my love

I just want to be with you, my love.
