I Can't Live
Justin Guarini Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your scent still lingers in my lungs
Your blood still sings that melody
A song that is written just for me
Right or Wrong
Now that you're gone
I can't live, I can't live
I can't live, I can't live
In a world where, a world where
You don't exist.
I'm possessed and I can't turn back now
I'm possessed, you own me inside out
I'm dead without the breath you breathe
Your life will be the death of me
Right or Wrong
Now that you're gone
I can't live, I can't live
If I can't touch you with my fingertips
I can't live, I can't live
In a world where, a world where
You don't exist.
The lyrics of Justin Guarini's song "I Can't Live" express the depth of his emotions towards a former lover. The song starts with him acknowledging that he still craves the person's taste, scent and even their blood, which sings a melody written just for him. He then goes on to say that without them, he can't survive or even exist in this world.
In the chorus, he emphasizes this fact by repeating that he can't live if he can't touch them or if they don't exist. He admits to being possessed and unable to turn back from this obsession, with the person owning him inside out. To him, their life is what keeps him going, and without it, he feels like he's dead.
The song seems to capture the experience of loving someone so much that it becomes an addiction. The person becomes his reason for living, with their presence being the only thing that makes life worth living. The lyrics are emotive and intense, capturing the complexity of feelings surrounding a great love.
