A World Without You
Emma Bunton Lyrics

I know that you can hear the rhythm of the rain
Despite being physically apart, the singer believes that the person they are addressing can still sense their emotional turmoil

Although we´re miles apart I know you feel my pain
Even though they are not in close proximity, the singer is confident that the other person can empathize with their suffering

I try to be so strong, I try to carry on
The singer is attempting to remain resilient in the face of their heartache

But since you left the sun don´t seem to shine
After their significant other's departure, the artist feels as though their world has become joyless and bleak

My tears are falling on the words you wrote to me
The artist is overcome with emotion, and their tears stain the letters that their partner has previously written to them

I wish that somehow they could take me where I want to be
The words in the letters evoke memories and longing for a time when they were together

It seems so long ago, you held me when I cried
The singer recollects a moment in the past when their significant other provided them with comfort

For now I just pretend you´re by my side, oh-oh yeah
To ease their pain, the artist imagines that their partner is still present with them now, though they know it is not true

Everything that I touch turns to blue
The artist feels that all they come into contact with is suffused with a melancholic aura

When I´m living in a world without you
The lack of their partner's presence makes the artist feel as though they are adrift and alone in the world

I´m going crazy baby, I am missing you
The singer is struggling to cope with the absence of their loved one and yearns for their return

Can´t imagine all I go through
The anguish that they experience is beyond the imagination of anyone who has not gone through it

I try to watch a movie but you´re all that I can see (all that I can see)
Attempts to distract themselves from their pain are futile, as the absence of their partner dominates their thoughts

And, in my dreams I know I always see you constantly
Their longing for their partner even extends to their dreams, where they appear frequently

But then a dream comes to an end and I´m alone
The singer experiences a sense of isolation and loneliness upon waking from dreams of their partner

And I can´t seem to let this feeling go, whoa-oh baby
The sadness and desire for their partner's return can't be overcome easily or at all

I´m going crazy missing you baby
There is a sense of desperation and mental anguish arising from the absence of their significant other

Living without you (living without you)
Their existence without their partner seems intolerable and unbearable

I´m not alone I know that you can feel it too
The singer believes that their partner is experiencing similar emotions and struggles with the distance between them

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Various vocalizations that are meant to serve as emotional emphasis
