Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sitting here reading this old love letter
Hoping that it will make me feel better
My friends tell me that I should forget it
That I should get over you
But they dont understand, they dont get it
It's something in my heart that wont let it
That's Who I Am
Who I Am, How I Live
It all means nothing without you
What I Do, All I Give
Everything I do is about you!
Who I Am, How I live
It all means nothing without you
What I Do, All I Give
Everything I do is about you
2nd Verse
Pictures of your face make me reminisce
Of you eyes, your smile, and your kiss
And nobody ever make me feel like this
Where would I be without you
Probaly lost, lonely and confused
All I give and what I do,
Is all because of you
Who I Am, How I Live
It all means nothing without you
What I Do, All I Give
Everything I do is about you
Who I Am, How I Live
It all means nothing without you
What I Do, All I Give
Everything I do is about you
Bridge
Can you tell me where we went wrong?
Where did we go wrong?
Baby Can you please come home?
Dont leave me all alone
Im waiting, right here where you belong
Ill be waiting for you
Right here, waiting on you
Ill be waiting for you
Right here yeah, cause your all I am
Who I Am, How I Live
It all means nothing without you
What I Do, All I Give
Everything I do is about you
Who I Am, How I Live
It all means nothing without you
What I Do, All I Give
Everything I do is about you
Who I Am, How I Live
It all means nothing without you
What I Do, All I Give
Everything I do is about you
Who I Am, How I Live
It all means nothing without you
What I Do, All I Give
Everything I do is about you

I am currently reading an old love letter and thinking about you
Hoping that it will make me feel better
I'm hoping that reading this letter will make me feel better about our breakup
My friends tell me that I should forget it
My friends are advising me to move on from our relationship
That I should get over you
They think it's time for me to stop thinking about you and focus on myself
But they don't understand, they don't get it
My friends don't understand the depth of my feelings for you
It's something in my heart that won't let it
I can't help but hold onto the memory of our love
Although you're gone, I'm still committed
Even though we're not together anymore, I still love you and remain loyal to you
That's Who I Am
My love for you is a fundamental part of my identity
Who I Am, How I Live
My identity and way of life revolve around you
It all means nothing without you
Without you, my life loses all significance
What I Do, All I Give
All of my actions and efforts are dedicated to you
Everything I do is about you!
You are always on my mind, and I base my decisions on our past experiences together
Pictures of your face make me reminisce
Looking at photos of you reminds me of our past shared experiences and happy memories
Of your eyes, your smile, and your kiss
I remember the way you looked at me, how you smiled, and the way you kissed me
And nobody ever makes me feel like this
No one else has ever made me feel as happy and loved as you did
Where would I be without you
I cannot imagine my life without you
Probably lost, lonely and confused
I fear that I would be lost and unhappy without you
All I give and what I do,
Everything I do is done out of love for you
Is all because of you
I attribute everything I am and everything I do to you
Can you tell me where we went wrong?
I am questioning where our relationship took the wrong turn
Where did we go wrong?
I am trying to understand what went wrong between us
Baby Can you please come home?
I'm pleading with you to come back to me
Don't leave me all alone
I fear being alone without you
I'm waiting, right here where you belong
I am waiting for you to return, where your presence belongs
I'll be waiting for you
I will continue to wait for you to come back to me
Right here, waiting on you
I'll be right here, waiting for you to come back to me
Yeah cause your all I am
You are everything to me
