Without You
Hinder Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just wanna take a little breather
Cause lately all we do is fight
And every time it cuts me deeper
Cause something's changed
You've been acting so strange
And its taking its toll on me
Without you, I live it up a little more everyday
Without you, I'm seeing myself so differently
I didn't wanna believe it then
But it all worked out in the end
When I watched you walk away
Well I never thought id say
I'm fine
Without you
Called you up cause it's been long enough
And you said that you were so much better
We have done a lot of growing up
We were never meant to be together
Cause something changed, you were acting so strange
And it's taken its toll on me
It's safe to say that I'm ready to let you leave
Without you, I live it up a little more everyday
Without you, I'm seeing myself so differently
I didn't wanna believe it then
But it all worked out in the end
When I watched you walk away
Well I never thought id say
I'm fine
Without you
Cause something changed, you were acting so strange
And it's taken its toll on me
It's safe to say that I'm ready to let you leave
Without you, I live it up a little more everyday
Without you, I'm seeing myself so differently
I didn't wanna believe it then
But it all worked out in the end
When I watched you walk away
Well I never thought id say
I'm fine
Without you
Without you
Without you
Without you
I just wanna be alone tonight,
I just wanna take a little breather.

I just wanna be alone tonight
I want to spend some time by myself without any company tonight
I just wanna take a little breather
I need a small break to clear my mind and relax
Cause lately all we do is fight
We have been arguing a lot recently
And every time it cuts me deeper
These fights are taking a toll on me emotionally
Cause something's changed
Something has happened or is different now
You've been acting so strange
Your behavior has been unusual or out of character
And its taking its toll on me
It's having a negative effect on me
Its safe to say that I'm ready to let you leave
I'm ready for you to go and leave this situation behind
Without you, I live it up a little more everyday
I enjoy life more now that you're not here to bring me down
Without you, I'm seeing myself so differently
I have a new perspective on myself without your influence
I didn't wanna believe it then
In the past, I refused to accept this truth
But it all worked out in the end
Things turned out fine despite my initial reaction
When I watched you walk away
Seeing you leave was a turning point for me
Well I never thought id say
I never expected to feel this way
I'm fine
I'm doing well without you
Called you up cause it's been long enough
I contacted you after a long time had passed
And you said that you were so much better
You claimed to be doing well without me
We have done a lot of growing up
We have both matured and changed over time
We were never meant to be together
Our relationship was never meant to work out
Without you
My life has improved since you left
I just wanna be alone tonight
Once again, I prefer to spend some time by myself
Without you
Overall, I am better off without you in my life
Without you
I am happier and more content without your presence
Without you
You have not been missed in my life

Underrated song. Some people only knew Lips of an Angel. This one is spectacular.

Under rated comment! 👍

It wasn't back then. I was in high school between 2005 to 2010 so I can confirm it was listened a lot 😊
@samanthacox7457
I listened to this song back in 2010 when I asked my ex-husband of 20 years for a divorce. It's been 13 years, and I am fine.

My younger brother committed suicide last weekend by overdosing on something. He was found with headphones on, presumably listening to something. This is his youtube account. He made a playlist containing 6 songs that was edited the day he passed. This is one of the 6 songs. With the method he used, he was dead after about 30 minutes, probably unconscious around 12 minutes. I like to think that it was peaceful for him with his music on. I love you Myles, I'll miss you everyday for the rest of my life.
