Without Me
Halsey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I filled your cup until it overflowed
Took it so far to keep you close (keep you close)
I was afraid to leave you on your own
I said I'd catch you if you fall
And if they laugh, then fuck 'em all (all)
And then I got you off your knees
Just so you could take advantage of me
Tell me how's it feel sittin' up there?
Feeling so high but too far away to hold me
You know I'm the one who put you up there
Name in the sky
Does it ever get lonely?
Thinking you could live without me
Thinking you could live without me
Baby, I'm the one who put you up there
I don't know why (yeah, I don't know why)
Thinking you could live without me
Live without me
Baby, I'm the one who put you up there
I don't know why (I don't know why, yeah yeah)
Gave love 'bout a hundred tries (hundred tries)
Just running from the demons in your mind
Then I took yours and made 'em mine (made 'em mine)
I didn't notice 'cause my love was blind
Said I'd catch you if you fall (fall)
And if they laugh, then fuck 'em all (all)
And then I got you off your knees
Put you right back on your feet
Just so you can take advantage of me
Tell me how's it feel sittin' up there?
Feeling so high but too far away to hold me
You know I'm the one who put you up there
Name in the sky
Does it ever get lonely?
Thinking you could live without me
Thinking you could live without me
Baby, I'm the one who put you up there
I don't know why (yeah, I don't know why)
Thinking you could live without me
Live without me
Baby, I'm the one who put you up there
I don't know why, yeah
You don't have to say just what you did
I already know (I know)
I had to go and find out from them
So tell me how's it feel (oh-whoa)
Tell me how's it feel sittin' up there?
Feeling so high but too far away to hold me
You know I'm the one who put you up there
Name in the sky
Does it ever get lonely?
Thinking you could live without me
Thinking you could live without me
Baby, I'm the one who put you up there
I don't know why (yeah, I don't know why)
The lyrics to Halsey's song "Without Me" tell a story of heartbreak and betrayal. The song begins by describing how the singer found the person when they were brokenhearted and filled their cup with love until it overflowed. The singer did everything to keep this person close, afraid to leave them on their own. They promised to catch them if they fall and not to care if others laughed at them for it. However, the effort proved futile, and the person took advantage of the singer's love.
As the song progresses, the singer claims that they are the one who put the person up high, but now they are sitting so far away that they cannot be held. The person is slowly realizing that they cannot live without the singer, who had given them a hundred tries of love, but they were only running from the demons in their mind. The song ends with asking how does it feel sitting up there with the name in the sky and if it ever gets lonely.
The lyrics of "Without Me" delve into the complexities of relationships and how love can be both beautiful and tragic. They portray the experiences of love, trust, and heartbreak that many people have to face at some point in their lives.

I gotta say it was quite a challenging journey to find this song.
I heard a familiar melody from a song I've never heard at work, then repeatedly hum the vague chorus.
It result to me on fitting lyrics that could have been in the song, it was along the lines of "living like that". I tried searching it as is but none came up, I even thought it might have been a nightcore song 👀.
🤯 My mind suddenly remembered the words around the phrase I got initially, "tell me how it feels living like that". I searched it as is, the rest is history.
Memory lane is amazing👏
