Without You
Hinder Lyrics

I just wanna be alone tonight
The singer wants to be by themselves tonight.

I just wanna take a little breather
The singer wants a break from their relationship.

Cause lately all we do is fight
Their relationship is filled with constant arguments.

And every time it cuts me deeper
Each argument is taking an emotional toll on the artist.

Cause something's changed
The artist noticed a shift in their partner's behavior.

You've been acting so strange
Their partner has been acting in a peculiar way.

And its taking its toll on me
This change is negatively impacting the singer.

Its safe to say that I'm ready to let you leave
The artist is ready for the relationship to end.

Without you, I live it up a little more everyday
The artist is happier and has more fun without their partner.

Without you, I'm seeing myself so differently
The artist's self-perception has improved since their partner left.

I didn't wanna believe it then
The singer was in denial about the situation.

But it all worked out in the end
In hindsight, the breakup was for the best.

When I watched you walk away
The singer witnessed their partner leaving the relationship.

Well I never thought id say
The singer never expected to feel this way.

I'm fine
The singer is content and okay with the end of the relationship.

Called you up cause it's been long enough
The artist has not talked to their former partner in a while.

And you said that you were so much better
The partner claims to have improved since the breakup.

We have done a lot of growing up
Both the singer and their partner have matured.

We were never meant to be together
The singer believes that the relationship was not meant to be.

Without you, I live it up a little more everyday
The artist repeats this line to emphasize how much happier they are without their partner.

Without you, I'm seeing myself so differently
Another repetition of this line shows how the artist's self-perception has truly improved.

Cause something changed, you were acting so strange
The prior shift in their partner's behavior is mentioned again.

And it's taken its toll on me
The emotions and stress have impacted the singer.

Without you, I live it up a little more everyday
Same line, new stanza.

Without you, I'm seeing myself so differently
Another reminder of the singer's boosted confidence.

I didn't wanna believe it then
The singer may have been in denial before but is now accepting the reality of the situation.

But it all worked out in the end
Another repetition of this line is significant because it confirms the singer's positive outlook.

When I watched you walk away
This sentence is identical to an earlier line and serves as repetition.

Well I never thought id say
Same as earlier.

I'm fine
Same as earlier.

Without you
A final repetition of the title emphasizes the singer's newfound independence.

Without you
Same as above, concluding the song.

Without you
Same as above.
