Che'Nelle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Without feeling all alone inside
Could say I didn't care
But that would be a lie
I've seen a million faces
Passing through my eyes
But yours stays with me
And I hope you realize that...
without you
That whole world
revolves around you
And when I've called on you
You were always there
Only a true friend can give me
All the joy each day
you bring me
I have to tell you
'cause it's true
Life wouldn't be the same
Without you
I could turn I could smile
I could cry for a little while
'Cause I know
you'll always put me in my place
It's this thing
friendship brings
A little of everything
But most of all
a smile to my face
And I've seen a million of them
Passing through my eyes
But yours stays with me
And I hope you realize that...
Life wouldn't be the same
without you
That whole world
revolves around you
And when I've called on you
You were always there
Only a true friend can give me
All the joy each day
you bring me
I have to tell you
'cause it's true
Life wouldn't be the same
Without you
Life wouldn't be the same
without you
That whole world
revolves around you
And when I've called on you
You were always there
Only a true friend can give me
All the joy each day
you bring me
I have to tell you
'cause it's true
Life wouldn't be the same
Without you
Without you
Without you
always there
You

Couldn't go anywhere
I feel lost and alone without you
Without feeling all alone inside
Even though I'm physically surrounded by people, I still feel lonely without you
Could say I didn't care
I could pretend not to miss you, but that would be a lie
But that would be a lie
I can't deny how much I need you in my life
I've seen a million faces
I've met so many people
Passing through my eyes
But you're the one who stands out in my memory
But yours stays with me
Your face and presence remain in my mind and heart
And I hope you realize that...
I hope you understand how much you mean to me
Life wouldn't be the same
My life would lack meaning and joy
Without you
Without your love and friendship
That whole world
Everything around me
revolves around you
Seems to center around you
And when I've called on you
Whenever I've reached out for help
You were always there
You've always been a reliable and supportive friend
Only a true friend can give me
You're not just any friend
All the joy each day
You bring me happiness every single day
you bring me
Your presence in my life brings me immense joy and contentment
I have to tell you
I need to express my gratitude and love for you
'cause it's true
Because it's sincere and genuine
I could turn I could smile
I may feel different emotions
I could cry for a little while
I may even cry sometimes
'Cause I know
But I have comfort in the fact that
you'll always put me in my place
You'll always be there to ground me and offer perspective
It's this thing
This bond we have
friendship brings
It brings so many positive aspects to my life
A little of everything
It brings laughter, support, encouragement, and joy
But most of all
But the most important thing it brings
a smile to my face
Is the happiness and joy you bring me
And I've seen a million of them
I've smiled so many times before
But yours stays with me
But your smile affects me the most
Without you
Without you in my life
always there
You steady presence and unwavering support
You
You mean everything to me
