Without You
David Guetta Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't win, I can't reign
I will never win this game without you
Without you
I am lost, I am vain
I will never be the same without you
Without you

I won't run, I won't fly
I will never make it by without you
Without you
Uh, I can't rest, I can't fight
All I need is you and I, without you
Without you

Oh oh oh
You, you, you
Without you, you, you
Without you

Can't erase, so I'll take blame
But I can't accept that we're estranged without you
Without you
I can't quit now, this can't be right
I can't take one more sleepless night without you
Without you
I won't soar, I won't climb
If you're not here, I'm paralyzed without you
Without you
I can't look, I'm so blind
I lost my heart, I lost my mind without you
Without you

Oh oh oh
You, you, you
Without you, you, you
Without you

I am lost, I am vain
I will never be the same without you
Without you
Without you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to David Guetta's song "Without You" express a deep feeling of loss and dependence on someone who is no longer present in the singer's life. The lines "I can't win, I can't reign" indicate that the singer is struggling with a sense of defeat or failure, perhaps in their personal relationships or goals. The refrain "I will never win this game without you" emphasizes the singer's belief that they cannot succeed without this other person.


The following lines heighten this feeling of loss and desperation, with the repetition of the phrase "Without you" underscoring the singer's dependence on the other person. They feel lost and vain, unable to climb or soar without this person's support. The lyrics also suggest a sense of blame and regret: "Can't erase, so I'll take blame/But I can't accept that we're estranged without you." It seems the singer is willing to accept some responsibility for the relationship's difficulties, but still feels that they cannot move on without the other person.


Overall, the song powerfully conveys the pain and struggle of losing someone important. It suggests that the singer is experiencing a sort of emotional paralysis, unable to move forward or achieve their goals without this other person's help. It's a universal feeling that anyone who's gone through a difficult breakup or loss can relate to.

@@erickgonzalorosaleschavez7276 Do you know?

Life, you never know the minute it ends suddenly, and you can`t get it back.
If only you could read the bible, then you would know perfectly, under who`s power you and I live in this fallen world.

If only you`d know, if only you´d bother to seek, the truth out, while still breathing on this earth.

Do you know what it feel like, to be forgiven all your sins you`ve ever done?
Do you know what it feel like, to feel the love of GOD in you life?

But soul, you don`t know it?. Do you?
You naively believing all these lies, which this world has to give.
