Without Me
KIDZ BOP Kids Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Found you when your heart was broke
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 (fall)
And if they laugh, then trick 'em all (all)
And then I got you off your knees
Put you right back on your feet
Just so you could take advantage of it

Tell me, how's it feel sittin' up there?
Feelin' so fly, 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 (don't know why)
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 (I don't know why, yeah, yeah)

Gave love 'bout a hundred tries (hundred tries)
Just running from the feelings in your mind
Then I took yours and made 'em mine (mine)
I didn't notice 'cause my love was blind

I said I'd catch you if you fall (fall)
And if they laugh, then trick 'em all (all)
And then I got you off your knees
Put you right back on your feet
Just so you could take advantage of it

Tell me, how's it feel sittin' up there?
Feelin' so fly, 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 (I don't know why)
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

You don't have to say just what you did (what you did)
I already know (I know)
I had to go and find out from them (oh-woah)
So tell me, how's it feel? (Oh-woah)

Tell me, how's it feel sittin' up there?
Feelin' so fly, 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)

Overall Meaning

The song "Without Me" by KIDZ BOP Kids tells the story of helping someone heal from heartbreak and giving them strength to move on, only to later be taken for granted. The lyrics describe how the singer found the person when they were broken, filled their cup until it overflowed, and took it far to keep them close because they were afraid to leave them alone. The singer promises to catch them if they fall and trick others who laugh at them. However, in the end, the person takes advantage of the singer's kindness and believes they could live without them, even though they are the reason for their success.


The song communicates how relationships can be a give-and-take, but when one person takes advantage of the other's love and care, it turns sour, leading to heartbreak and realizing who your true friends are. The lyrics also suggest that people often forget who helped them when they succeed, and it's essential to remember the ones who supported them when they needed it the most.
