Since I Don't Have You
Guns N' Roses Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I don't have hopes and dreams
I, I, I don't have anything
Since I don't have you
And I don't have fond desires
And I don't have happy hours
I don't have anything
Happiness and I guess
I never will again
When you walked out on me
In walked ol' misery
And she's been here since then
Yeah, we're fucked!
I don't have love to share
And I don't have one who cares
I, I, I, I don't have anything
Since I don't have you
You, you, you, oh, oh!
You, you, you, oh, oh!
You, you, you, oh, oh!
You, you, you, oh, oh!
You, you, oh yeah!
The lyrics to Guns N' Roses's song Since I Don't Have You express the singer's feeling of emptiness and despair after a break-up. The repetition of the phrase "I don't have anything since I don't have you" emphasizes the depth of his loss and the fact that his former partner was the central focus of his life. He lists the things he no longer has in his life, such as plans and schemes, hopes and dreams, fond desires and happy hours, and concludes that he has nothing left without her.
The second verse sees the singer reflecting on the impact of the break-up on his future prospects for happiness. He suggests that his chances of being happy again are slim, as "when you walked out on me, in walked ol' misery, and she's been here since then." The imagery of misery as a personification lurking in the background of the singer's emotional landscape is powerful, as it suggests that he is unable to shake off the negative feelings associated with the end of his relationship.
The repeated refrain of "you, you, you, oh, oh!" at the end of the song serves to reinforce the idea that the singer is fixated on his ex-partner and unable to move on. The final "oh yeah!" is almost ironic, as it suggests a forced attempt at positivity that is unconvincing.
Overall, Since I Don't Have You is a poignant and powerful song that conveys the pain and isolation of heartbreak.
